Not sure if the poster a few down found her tickets yet but I'm also looking for 2 tickets to the Illuminations tour on Saturday. Can meet anywhere, any time in Somerville. Thanks!

Tomorrow night: See Somerville's Holiday Lights by Bike

[ron_newman]

Last year's Illuminations Bicycle Tour was a great success, attracting over 50 riders. So we're going to do it again tomorrow night. We meet at 6 pm in front of Somerville High School, leaving promptly at 6:20. Our tour will visit most of the same houses as the trolley tour, but will use quieter, more bicycle-friendly roads to reach them.

Dress warmly -- temperatures will be in the low 30s. Your bike should have a working headlight and tail-light, but the more lights, the better, both for safety and in keeping with the theme.

Please bring a $5 donation to support the Somerville Arts Council. This event is jointly sponsored by the Arts Council and the Somerville Bicycle Committee.

Here's a map of tomorrow's bike tour. Edit (since the map was changed after I posted this): The red line shows the bike tour route. The blue pushpins are notably-lit houses that the tour passes by.

Electrical supply (light fixtures)?

Can anyone recommend any local businesses that could sell us ceiling light fixtures? We're looking for a better selection that we might find at TAGS, somewhat reasonable prices, and a better shopping experience than at Home Depot/Lowe's.
