Free Lovecraftian Radio Plays at Pandemonium Books and Games

[koshmom.livejournal.com]

I know that many people on davis square LJ are interested in seeing live radio shows, and since it's free and Ron said that Pandemonium is close enough to Davis Square to post here, I wanted to spread the word.

On Saturday, February 15 Pandemonium Books and Games will be hosting a Flat Earth Theatre performance of 4 HP Lovecraft radio plays.  The first play starts at 8 pm, and the entire performance of all 4 is expected to be approximately 80 minutes.  See our announcement for more details:

This event is free to the public.

King-size split box spring, free to good home

[ceo]

We have a king-size split box spring we bought along with our mattress a few years ago and turned out not to need. It's been in our reasonably dry basement for a few years, but is still in sealed factory packaging. If you want it, it's yours.

We're in Ball Square; I can probably be bribed into delivering the thing if you don't have a suitable vehicle.

Somerville Theatre 100th birthday celebration starts this Friday! Classic films, 35mm, big screen!

[ron_newman]

The Somerville Theatre turns 100 years old on Sunday, May 11.

For the 100 days leading up to that birthday, starting this Friday, the theatre will present a wide variety of classic films, film festivals, and live shows. The theatre's manager Ian Judge (svilletheatre) has kindly sent me a textual list of the movies, which I have included below. All movies will be shown in real 35mm film on the big screen in Theatre 1.

Admission to all movies is $10 -- single admission to all double and triple features.   A 'Centennial Pass' to all of the movies is $300, but you'd have to go to almost every film to make that worthwhile.   (This admission policy does not apply to the Sci-Fi Marathon, Banff Mountain Film Festival, Irish Film Festival, or Independent Film Festival.)

Fri JAN 31^st: “Queen of the Movies“ a selection of Mary Pickford films @8pm.
Sat FEB 1^st:.D.W. Griffith’s “WAY DOWN EAST” @8pm w/Jeff Rapsis providing live accompaniment.
Sun FEB 2^nd: Clara Bow in “WINGS” @ 1pm w/Jeff Rapsis providing live accompaniment.

( Most of the schedule is behind this cut )

Wed MAY 7^th: double feature:  Clint Eastwood’s “UNFORGIVEN” @7:30pm;  John Sayles’ “LONE STAR” @10pm.
Fri MAY 9^th: triple feature:  “GIMME SHELTER” @6pm;  “THE LAST WALTZ” @8pm;  “STOP MAKING SENSE” @10pm.

Shawarma in Davis Square?

It looks like the wings place next to the Dominos (at Elm & Russell St.) is being replaced with a new shawarma place. Doesn't look open quite yet - does anybody have any info about it?
