LOCAL ALTERNATIVE MUSICIANS HOST BENEFIT FOR NO-KILL ANIMAL SHELTER ON FEBRUARY 3RD

On Thursday, February 3rd, three local bands will join forces for a charity concert designed to raise funds and awareness for Cape Ann Animal Aid (http://www.capeannanimalaid.com), a no-kill shelter based in Gloucester, MA.

The performances will be held at The Skybar, 518 Somerville Avenue in Somerville, MA, and will feature the haunting melodies of Amber Spyglass (http://www.amberspyglass.net), innovative dark pop band Lilac Ambush (http://www.lilacambush.com), and
musician-activist Nancy Mroczek PHD (http://www.music.nancymroczek.com). DJ Elyzia David rounds out the evening by spinning cool tunes between the bands’ sets.

This event begins at 8:00 PM, is open to the public, and all proceeds from the $8 admission charged at the door will go directly to benefit Cape Ann Animal Aid. Patrons are encouraged to bring pet food and supplies to the venue that evening, as they will be collected for the shelter.
Originally intended as a rescue committee for the helpless kittens and puppies abandoned by casual summer residents, Cape Ann Animal Aid Association has grown into a home-finding agency for all unwanted or stray cats and dogs on Cape Ann. Last year, the shelter placed over 500 animals, every one spayed or neutered. Every penny spent comes from the shelter's supporters - they receive no state or municipal funding.

Dermatologists in the area?

[simply-juniper.livejournal.com]

Can anyone recommend a dermatologist in the area? I prefer a female and am looking in Somerville, Cambridge, Medford or Arlington. Bonus points if you know if they accept Harvard Pilgrim! Thanks!

tufts students?

[la-ti-da.livejournal.com]

anyone here familiar which tufts courses/professors are known to be good? i'm searching through the catalogue for an interesting one to audit, but i know how much a good professor/course outline can make a difference- and since i'm taking this for fun, i want it to be fun.

a couple that immediately caught my eye were EXP 42S Black Power: Civil Rights by George Davis and ENG 192G Fem. Lit Theory by Leci Rosenthal.

suggestions also welcome.. but they have to be held in the evening.

Farmer's Market at your doorstep--year round

[joylewis.livejournal.com]

I just found out about a veggie co-op service that delivers year round in the Boston area with different options (full box/half box, 2/3 veggies, all fruit, fresh baked bread, etc.) Haven't tried it myself but I'm interested and wanted to spread the word and also get feedback from anyone who's used it.

Wanted: some strange shit

Hi. I'm looking for a utility disconnection notice along with a grimy old fridge for use in a photograph. Not looking to take or buy these items, just use them. The photograph will consist of neon-colored alphabet refrigerator magnets holding the disconnection notice on the fridge while the alphabet magnets spell out the name of a web page. All personal contact information on the notice will be either covered by the magnets or blotted out in GIMP/Photoshop. Offering one good 'ol free cup 'o joe at the Someday for this service. Alternately, I'd like to find a working lite-brite for the same purpose. Of course, I already have the camera. Oh, and finally, would anyone be willing to do a drive-by and give me the finger at an intersection while I take a photograph?

Thanks a bunch! And no, this is not a joke. Well, yes, it is a joke - but the request is perfectly serious. :) --M
