So, back to airplane noise....

[nvidia99999.livejournal.com]

It sounds like there is a lot of neutral, a lot of negative, and a lot of positive (though "better than traffic noise" is not exactly a stellar endorsement of airplane noise). It sounds like there is some room for improvement and increased variety in the type of noise that we are confronted with in the square. Comments?

Come to Grand this Friday evening from 6-8PM to help launch Design Annex, a new co-working space for the creative economy.



What’s the Design Annex, you ask? The Design Annex provides the resources for small firms and solo practitioners in design fields in Somerville and surrounding communities to grow their businesses. Slated to open in June 2009, the facility includes a co-working space with conference room, lounge with a resource library, shared equipment, and ventilated model building studio. With a tiered membership structure that offers access to networking and educational programming as well as office and equipment resources, the Design Annex seeks to build a robust network of collaborative, thriving, design-related businesses centered in Union Square, Somerville. Brought to you by Union Sq Main Streets.

Food and drinks will be provided. Come on by and join as we celebrate this exciting NEW addition to Union Square!

Community Theatre?

[kdizzle86.livejournal.com]

Hello all! I am brand-new to the area; just moved in a few weeks ago.

I've been meaning to get into theatre again for a while, and no time like the present, right? However, I'm having a bit of trouble searching around for theatre companies around here! Everything seems to be super-professional and hardcore and all that. I don't want to make a career out of acting... it's a hobby for me, something I'd be doing on top of my full-time job. 

So basically my question is, are there any community theatre groups around the Somerville area? I'm especially into musical theatre. :)

Thanks in advance!

Where do get exotic berry juices?

[zmgmeister.livejournal.com]

I'm on the purple fruit juice kick, and am wondering where local I can get hard-to-find juices like chokeberry ( aronia ), acai, elderberry, blackcurrant, bilberry, etc. I hear Trader Joe's had aronia juice at one time, but I haven't seen it there.

Looking for a 100% berry juice, not mixed with apple juice or anything. I plan to mix it myself. Also looking for reasonable cost; I'd expect a berry juice to cost $5 a quart, but I don't know if I'd pay $5 for a pint.
