Somerville Mayor Complains About Airplane Noise

[benndragon.livejournal.com]

I clearly must be bored, to be opening up this particular can of worms. OTOH, the article includes a phone number you can call any time you want to complain about it, which will be infinitely more fruitful than complaining about it here: "Massport’s noise complaint line is 617-561-3333."

Time to stop the buzzing

ETA: Since some folks argue that calling Massport is just as fruitless as complaining here, here's another number to call for folks who are indeed interested in knowing about the airplane noise you are experiencing: "You can help us by also reporting the disturbance to 311. The statistics you provide will be an important weapon is[sic] our ongoing campaign."

Venues: Where to have an a-cappella concert?

[abs]

Hi All, I am writing on behalf of a new, Somerville-based, all-female post-collegiate a cappella group. We are looking into venues for our winter concert, and I was wondering if anyone knew of spaces we could use--we are open to churches, restaurants, halls, anything. Only catch is that we cannot pay much. We since popular music, choral music and will have some holiday tunes. Let me know if anyone has ideas. Thanks!
