Uncertain
= The status of the Vagina Monologues and Somerville Theatre generally is uncertain as of 11:15 am (when I'm making this edit). The T@F webmaster says: "With the T closed and the driving ban in effect, we are exploring options for re-scheduling the show. In the meantime, we may be performing a version of the show today for those within easy walking distance. Please stay tuned for further updates." (I suggest rechecking these two links periodically, as I may not be able to update this post in a timely manner.)

Please post comments with any other open/closed/on/off information that you have.

The Vagina Monologues - an update

Hi, T@F Webmaster here with a note from the Director:

EDIT, 1:30pm
"MATINEE CANCELLED. EVENING SHOW IS STILL ON. Please observe the driving and parking bans - stay safe!"

The Vagina Monologues - MATINEE CANCELLED

[lillibet.livejournal.com]

We had hopes, but the matinee performance is cancelled. We are planning to perform with a reduced cast this evening at 8pm at the Somerville Theatre. Tickets from the matinee will be honored at the evening performance. We also hope to find a date on which to perform with the full cast in the future.

Stay safe, but if you're local and want to come over this evening, we hope to be there, talking about vaginas.

Restaurants?

What restaurants have people observed/know to be open today/tonight around Davis? I've got some out of town friends I'd like to take out despite the snow.

Urgent Off-Street Parking Need -- We Will Pay You

[plumtreeblossom.livejournal.com]

Hi neighbors. Is there anyone living within walking distance of 7 Bay State who could share/rent us off-street parking in their driveway until late Sunday or early morning Monday at the latest?

Long story short-- we were stranded in Quincy last night with no power or heat. Made it back to the S'ville house this afternoon with cat in tow but now can't park anywhere. Jay will have to take the car back to Quincy and stay in the no-heat if we can't find something. One compact car, Davis/Ball/Powderhouse, even Teale if it comes to that. Name your price. We are lowly university grunts, but we'll be grateful for a reasonable offer!

EDIT: We got a spot! Thank you everybody! We're safe. Whuff....who needs a drink? (*raises hand*)

Pandemonium Books and Games will be open Sunday Feb 10

(Sending this to Davis Square to spread the word)

My husband owns Pandemonium Books and Games in Central Square.  His nutty employees are willing to come in and work the store's normal business hours (noon - 11 pm) on Sunday, Feb 10, even if the T is not running.  We have no idea what the parking situation will be, but we'll find out tomorrow when we go there early to help dig out the store. Heck, we haven't even dug out our own home's driveway yet!

We're unsure if the scheduled events will be happening, it depends on if the people running them are willing to brave the snow.  Check the web site for updated event info if you're interested.  There's likely to be low attendance, which means some tables may be free for open gaming in the afternoon, and Sunday evening is Board Game Night.  The web site is www.pandemoniumbooks.com.
