ron_newmanI got e-mail overnight from Elliot's mother, saying that he "is back home and safe as of 11PM tonight".

Dilboy VFW Closed
Nov. 17th, 2011 01:56 pmbombardiette.livejournal.comBe aware that right now, the Dilboy VFW in Davis Square is closed indefinitely. This weekend's function was cancelled (we helped them find a new venue). We are currently working with city and state inspectors and architects however, without the new post we'd hoped to have done, things are unsure at this time.
I don't know yet what this means for any events scheduled down the road, but you cannot book our hall at this point in time until further notice.

ron_newmanThe increasing frequency of these attacks is very unsettling. From today's robo-call and e-mail:

This is Deputy Chief Paul Upton of the Somerville Police with an important public safety message for residents in your area.
At about 1:30 a.m. on Thursday, November 17th, a 22 year old woman was assaulted on Highland Avenue near Cherry Street as she walked from Porter Square.
The victim reported that she was grabbed from behind: she screamed and resisted, apparently scaring off the suspect, who then fled on foot along Highland Avenue toward Davis Square.
This incident is similar to others that have occurred in this area. Police have increased patrols of both marked and unmarked cars in this area and have mounted an interagency effort to identify and apprehend this suspect.
The suspect, who was wearing a knit ski mask, is believed to be a male, possibly with a muscular build, about 5’ 5” to 5’ 8” inches tall, wearing all dark clothing. Anyone who has information about this incident is urged to contact Somerville Police at 617-625-1212, or text SPD617 to Tip411.
( Usual boilerplate behind cut )

Call For Artists & Vendors Of Geeky Stuff
Nov. 17th, 2011 05:10 pmsmoagendash.livejournal.comPandemonium is going to do a Holiday GeekFaire again this year on Saturday, Dec. 17th, 2011. I am putting out a call to all local and semi-local artists and sellers of cool, geeky merchandise to see whether you would be interested in renting a table to sell your goods in my store.
For more details, go here.
(While Pandemonium is in Central Sq., I know a lot of artists live near Davis. This is for them.)
It's The Love Tote
Nov. 17th, 2011 08:32 pmnotnatalie.livejournal.comDid you know that the Resistat has a blog, and it's got character? Me neither. Just found it as I chanced upon this Love Tote contest.

“We’ve had an overwhelmingly positive response to the new toters, so much so that residents are taking the time to blog, Tweet, and post their approval to social media outlets across the spectrum,” Mayor Curtatone said. “Since we live in the kind of city where residents actually post photos of their new Zero-Sort recycling toters online—without prompting—we’ve decided it would be fun to kick it up a notch.”
