I give you, the unofficial DSLJ T- Shirt.

Link Here

If there is a style of shirt on spreadshirt that you'd like the "slogan" placed on, just let me know, I can get to it this evening once I'm home from work. I put this together last night and sent it to closetalker11 for approval, since they did "say" it first.

The url on the back is the old groups style for LJ, but one I find more aesthetically pleasing. I'm not taking a cut off the top for these at all, the whole string of conversations that brought this into being filled me with glee, and I just wanted to do something silly with it.

Enjoy, if you like.

For those of you who have sold clothes to second hand stores...which is the best in the area?

I have tons of clothes I wanna get rid of. Whatever I can't sell I'll just give to goodwill.

1 Bedroom Summer Sublet Available!

[mysticchildz.livejournal.com]

1 bedroom, fully furnished sublet available in Somerville, right in Davis Square. Move-in date can be anywhere between May 15 to June 1. It’s a less-than-five minute walk to the Davis Square stop on the Red T-line.

Rent would be $900 + approximately $70 for utilities (including cable and internet).

We’re on the first floor and there’s a living room with TV, a fully furnished kitchen (and a nice one at that), and bathroom.

The room has a closet, a dresser, a desk, and bed. There is access to a free washer and dryer in the basement and there is one parking space in the back.

I have a roommate already, she’s in the journalism department in Emerson.

Like I said before, you can move in between May 15 to June 1st. The room is available until September 1st, but there is a possibility of extending for the rest of the school year.

If you or anyone you know is interested, please call me at 347-596-1708 or email me at nadia.chaudhury@gmail.com.

Thanks!

The Interfaith Donkey Walk

[lauraruth.livejournal.com]

Dear Davis Square,

It is that time again, time for the most fun religious Christian celebration in Davis Sq. Yes, it's the Interfaith Donkey Walk, Palm Sunday Morning at 9 AM. That's this Sunday, starting at Powder House Park.

At 9 o'clock, we start the festivities by telling the story of Jesus' entry into Jerusalem, riding a donkey - he was coming for Passover, eh? We sing a song, and then we parade.

First Church Somerville UCC's marching band will lead the parade from Powder House Park, down College Ave. to Davis Sq. In Davis Sq., where we will pray for peace in the world and we'll pray for Somerville.

Chester the Donkey, on loan from the Heifer Project, will be with us.

Come join us, bring your kids, bring rhythm instruments, everyone can play with the Marching Band.

First Church's Palm Sunday Service begins at 10 AM. Our choir will sing "Lamb of God: a cantata for Lent." After the service, there will be a silver tea and hot cross buns served.

For Easter, there is multi-church Sunrise Service at 6 AM in Powder House Park, up at the top. Joe Zarro, student intern from First Church Somerville UCC, a student from Harvard Divinty School will offer an Easter reflection. After the Sunrise Service, all are invited to a pancake breakfast at Community Baptist Church.

First Church Somerville UCC will have a Service of Resurrection at 10 AM. Our service will include a brass ensemble, a blue grass band, the children's choir, the adult choir, and a community singing of the Hallelujah Chorus. Sr. Pastor Molly Baskette will preach.
