Get excited everyone, because on Saturday October 24, Somerville is going to Thrill The World.  

Be a part of an annual world-wide simultaneous dance of Michael Jackson's Thriller.  Hundreds of people will come together in our very own Somerville to dance, break a world record (most people simultaneously dancing a certain dance), raise funds for the local community, and strengthen the bonds of awesomeness that exist between us all.

For more information about the Somerville event, check out our web page or our facebook group.  When you just can't contain your excitement anymore, register for the Somerville event!  

Before arriving on the big day in October, you should work on learning the dance.  Go here to watch step-by-step instructional videos.  If learning from an instructional video sounds hard or not fun, we will be hosting workshops in the Somerville area over the coming weeks where you can learn the dance in person and for free!  (check our site or facebook group regularly for updates, or register to receive them via email)

For more information or to get involved, please feel free to email me at ttw09Somerville.MA(at)gmail(dot)com

Some Parking Sanity

Somerville News article posted this afternoon about Traffic Commission scaling back on permit requirements on certain streets at night before 2am in order to allow visitors to park for shopping, dining, etc.

NSTAR Gas Bill

[nvidia99999.livejournal.com]

I was just looking at my gas bill from NSTAR and I noticed that last year, we were paying $1.64 per therm in Supply Charges. This year, those charges are 24.1c per therm. That is SEVEN times less than last year. Why was gas THAT expensive one year ago in this area and how can such wild fluctuations be allowed?

Edit: To clarify: this is comparing Aug 2009 with Aug 2008 (the NSTAR bill provides that info).
