June 2-3: FIGMENT Boston!
Can you believe only 10 days from now our second FIGMENT event of 2012 will transform Boston’s Rose Kennedy Greenway into a large-scale collaborative artwork? Official submissions are closed... but we still invite you to bring your projects to FIGMENT! Please note that any project that is not registered must be hand-carried, and will not be mapped, scheduled, or have access to power. But we invite everyone to bring their art projects, social experiments, games, toys, dancing feet, picnic lunches, friends, robots, creative energy, gnomes, unicorns, and anything else you might love and want to share with the world! So, what are you bringing? For more information on bringing your project to FIGMENT Boston, please see the Artist FAQ and What to Bring pages.

What: FIGMENT Boston 2012
When: Saturday, June 2, 11AM – 11PM / Sunday, June 3, 11AM – 6PM
Where: the Rose Kennedy Greenway in Boston
Tickets: FREE!

For those who don't know, FIGMENT is kind of like a more family friendly, less sex, drugs, and fire version of Burning Man. It's a lot of fun!

Unfortunately I can't be there, but you can go and enjoy it!

(Oh, and I should let you know that I can't reply in the comments, as LJ kind of broke their submission button for some of us in the recent changes to the site. So if I don't answer you, don't take it personally. :-)

Backsplash

Anyone know of someone that can install a tile backsplash in a kitchen?  And other misc home repair work - repairing ceiling and painting?   I'm not much of a do it yourself and looking for dependability and good craftsmanship. (or craftswomanship)

Place to park a car before receiving a parking sticker?

[yeah81.livejournal.com]

Greetings future neighbors!

I am moving into a place near Davis Square soon (either this weekend or the next) and have run into a bit of an issue. I have a car that I will need in the area (for my commute to work in the 'burbs) but haven't applied for a parking permit yet. I assume this will take a little while, and that I will probably be moved in and needing my car before the permit comes. Is there anywhere I can park without needing a permit (preferably somewhere I can keep the car overnight)? Any tips, tricks or suggestions?

Thanks in advance!
