Function spaces

[georgy.livejournal.com]

Are there any cool, smaller (50-75) function spaces available for rent in Somerville? The Dilboy is designed for a seating capacity of 150, which is probably more than what I'm interested in.

Thanks!

EDIT: I'm looking for a location where one could have a party, so it should have some measure of character or potential for character :-)

Curiosity

[znhoward.livejournal.com]

I keep meaning to ask one of the MBTA employees sitting just inside the door between the elevator and the College Street stairs in the Davis T station why, exactly, they're sitting just inside the door between the elevator and the College Street stairs in the Davis T station.

The practice seems to have started some time this winter. Anyone have any ideas what they're doing there?

The Worst News Day Ever

I was so sad to read the earlier post about La Contessa's closing and I was writing a friend about it and she pointed out this recent story about McIntyre & Moore:

Palm Sunday procession

[ron_newman]

This item on the Somerville Journal page says there will be a Palm Sunday procession from Powderhouse Circle to Davis Square this Sunday, starting at 9 am. Not being a United Methodist or any other kind of Christian, I know nothing whatsoever about this tradition, but it might be fun to watch.

(If any of you have ever participated in this or watched it, please chime in)

Armed robbery near Davis/Porter

This happened about an hour ago.

The Somerville Journal is reporting "heavy-set white male in his 50s wearing a red jacket. A yellow bandana was over his face. He may be traveling in a dark colored vehicle driven by an accomplice."
