Bow Tie?

[plumtreeblossom.livejournal.com]

Any ideas as to where one might acquire a bow tie of the type that wait staff wear (pre-tied, clasps in the back)? My partner tried to buy one online for his costume for the show next weekend, but they sent the wrong kind/color and now it's too late to shop online. If anyone has a leftover black bow tie from a wedding you were in, we'll gladly buy or rent it from you.

What does it mean to be "local"?

Somerville's got it's Local First organization helping to promote diversity and sustainability by encouraging people to "buy local", but what does that mean? And how do you know if something that claims to be local is or not?

What, specifically, do we want "local" to mean when it comes to the economy and business in Somerville? And what is it about bringing more "local" exchanges into Somerville that is so beneficial?

We love this apartment so much we bought one a lot like it across the square... and so did the people we sublet from four years ago. $1750, 1000 square feet, with off-street parking, laundry in basement, just steps from the square. Cats OK.
