Dancin' Fool and etc

[yangelina.livejournal.com]

Greetings,

Looking for recommendations for the most-fun 80s night in the Boston area; I've heard Manray is alright on Saturday nights, but have not actually experienced it. Does anybody know what the vibe is like?

I don't have a vehicle so am looking for somewhere on this side of the river. Other places I've heard of are Axis' "Lushlife" on Saturday nights, and "Love Night" somewhere in Allston....

So far, Mayray seems to be the top pick, but I would much prefer an underground/smaller/local club.

On a different note: (no pun intended)
Looking to purchase a digital or acoustic piano, can anyone recommend a piano shop within 10 miles that have a decent selection of keys that I could try out? Most acoustic shops don't have a great selection of digitals, and places like Guitar Center normally don't carry the particular digital that I'm looking to test (Yamaha YDP223). As an alternative, there there practice rooms for rent in the area?

Thanks everyone!

it is on once more.

YO! What is Leftist Lounge?

"All the ills of mankind, all the tragic misfortunes that fill the history books, all the political blunders, all the failures of the great leaders have arisen merely from a lack of skill at dancing."
....................... - Moliere

Leftist Lounge is a gathering of people who strive to build a powerful social movement. We are people who believe that to mobilize for change, we must offer more than dry meetings with patronizing white liberals who attempt to contain real transformation. We understand that transformation is as personal as it is societal. Through celebration and affirmation of our creative power we can reshape the world.

Leftist Lounge offers a bi-monthly party, giving space to the community to dance, eat, laugh, and inspire each other. We are the block party back in the day. We are there to celebrate life, creation, and change. You should be there too.

Newbury Comics Focus Group

[simply-juniper.livejournal.com]

While I was in the Freshpond Newbury Comics location today I noticed a sign at the register --

They are looking for people to be in a focus group for them, 2 hours at a restaurant, dinner paid for, you earn $50, ask the cashier for a questionnaire, no other info was given.

I don't know if it's just the Freshpond location or more but I figured it'd be helpful to someone on here. Who doesn't like $50? :)
