wsac.livejournal.comboston-review.livejournal.comWe (Boston Review) are a local magazine (what, you never heard of us?), and we're cleaning out our lit mag library in a major way. We've got everything from AGNI to VQR in here, and it'll all go to the recycler unless someone wants it-- four big boxes. First Things, Parabola, Ploughshares, NYRB and more. Tons of stuff.
It's going out on the curb Monday night at 292 Highland, but if you want to get to it before then, email me at will at bostonreview dot net
Thanks,

Our storied past
Apr. 15th, 2009 08:51 amenochs-fable.livejournal.comSo I'm finishing up Legends of Winter Hill by Jay Atkinson, a flawed but entertaining slice of true life crime and cops in Somerville from the 1950's on. It's a funny reminder of how much Somerville has changed - you've got all sorts of shenanigans going on amidst familiar landmarks like RedBones, the Doherty Funeral Home, Union Square, and of course, the once infamous Winter Hill.
What other good books (of any genre) about Somerville are out there that are worth reading?

artsarmory.livejournal.comGreetings All...
Thanks to everyone who attended last night's entertainment license hearing about the Arts at the Armory. We appreciated everyone's support of our efforts.
We recognize that lingering and understandable concerns remain about parking and noise. We are in the process of setting up our Neighborhood Advisory Committee to help us troubleshoot and resolve any outstanding issues. We plan to reveal the names of the entire committee and how folks can get in touch with us once all the preliminary interviews of folks who were nominated occur. We are committed to being a good neighbor.
The Armory has a big footprint in a residential area but we are excited about what we can do there. With your ongoing support, ideas and help, it will be a great place to celebrate arts and culture in Somerville.
For more information about us - check out our website at: http://www.artsatthearmory.org

Cheers!

local music groups?
Jul. 6th, 2008 03:40 pmjovianconsensus.livejournal.comI'm getting that itch again, the itch to pick up my clarinet. But I suspect it won't amount to much unless I'm practicing with a group, large or small. Does any such creature exist that would be at my level? I was pretty good many years ago, but it's been hard to keep up so I expect I'm a little rusty.
I should look into the MIT groups but I want to know what else is out there.

How to Win Friends and Influence People
May. 19th, 2008 12:29 ammermaidcafe.livejournal.com...or at least win friends.
I moved to this area a few months ago from far, far, away and don't really have friends here yet. I'm finally realizing that my job/lifestyle aren't conducive to making friends here, so I wanted to both get some suggestions on awesome social functions and "introduce" myself in case anybody is in a similar situation. My work schedule is demanding enough that I can't commit to regular volunteer gigs, which has always helped me meet people in the past. How do smart, artsy (but not hipster), progressive, twenty-something women make friends around here?
I'll also add that I'm applying to be an adjunct English instructor and I'm a writer, so I'd love to meet people involved in academia and/or writing. I'm happily coupled and not looking for a date; I'd just like to try to form a social life here. If you have any suggestions or want to say hi, let me know of any awesome activities or send me a message.
Thanks! :)

It's an interactive sound installation using the noises of the city to make music.

MOBA to exhibit in Somerville Theatre!
May. 5th, 2008 12:56 pmhammercock.livejournal.comMuseum of Bad Art will open second branch at the Somerville Theatre:
As a fan of MOBA, this makes me absurdly happy. :)
Somerville - The folks who run the infamous Museum of Bad Art (MOBA) simply couldn't leave well enough alone. Not content to have curious people from around the world visit their basement space just outside the men's room at the Dedham Community Theatre, they're opening a second spot — MOBA 2 — in the Somerville Theatre, again in the basement, but now nearby both male and female bathrooms.
For those not aware of this wonderful institution, it's a collection of artworks that likely didn't turn out exactly as planned. MOBA's Permanent Acting Interim Executive Director Louise Sacco says that, for a piece to hang there, "It has to really be art. It has to be original, sincere, it has communicate something to people, and it has to be interesting."
As a fan of MOBA, this makes me absurdly happy. :)

cemeterygates.livejournal.comRas na hEireann is an Irish 5k race and celebration of traditions dating back centuries - and simply a celebration of spring in Somerville. Everyone (not just those of Irish decent!) is invited, all runners and walkers, to celebrate life, the coming of spring, and to enjoy a memorable race and St. Patrick’s Day celebration on March 16th at 11am in Davis Square!
I'm not affiliated with the event (I'm not even Irish!), but I am running and helping spread the word because I think it will be a good time.
The official website with extensive information and registration (limited to 2500 runners and filling fast!) is here.
A FaceBook community that I put up to coordinate with other racers is here.

The annotated budget I've been sending to people seems to be enough for some of them.
