backpack & briefcase repair

I have a canvas backpack with a zipper that needs to be replaced and a soft leather briefcase with a hole that needs repair. Where should I take them? Thanks!

block parties

Earlier this evening I went to a block party on Boston Ave, and had a great time. I'm curious if any of the new folks I met there are also LJ users/davis_square-ers....

Also, I'm curious what other streets/neighborhoods do block parties. I'm really liking this whole "actually getting to meet your neighbors" concept. If I had a few co-conspirators, I'd like to try planning one for the Willow/Mallet/Lowden area sometime (probably late Spring).

I hope to be at the RedBones block party tomorrow evening (6-8 pm), maybe see some of you all there?

Monthly meetup revisions

OK, so, as organizer, I didn't do the most awesome job. Some folks did, however, meet up, so I consider that a success. :-)

But I did determine a few things, one of which is the meet should be held at a slightly less crowded area, one small enough to make it pretty hard to miss somebody wandering around looking for people.'

So, I propose we set the next one for Saturday, October 6th, at 5pm, and to meet at the newly opened Kickass Cupcakes.

Which, for the record, is a pretty neat little bakery. I've tried their mojito and their vanilla so far, and have been GREATLY impressed.
