Happy almost HALLOWEENIE Red Sox fans!
This town is OUT OF CONTROL and it's amazing. Really. But when you are not vying for tickets to games or glued to the TV (or your IPhone/Blackberry?computer- yes one of my friends watched the game on HIS COMPUTER the other night- you know who you are!) here are some things to do this weekend (and a lil bit beyond.)
AND today is the GRAND opening of the MOTLEY SHOE SHOP. 76 Dartmouth Street 617 351 6969. It's pretty slick if I do say so! Doug is a genius and his taste is divine! NEW SHOES FOR ME!!!! It's mostly sneakers and "casual foot ware" yes yes it is.
Things for the weekend... ok let's see... I am slacking a bit with the info so I added websites...
TODAY is Thursday and that's the weekend in my book so: you could...
Go see Thom from the Bon Savants at GS with Pending Disappointment (whom I adore but I think their bassist, who's amazing, is laid up.. dunno fo sure) anyway see them with Thom he's lovely he's a rocker and a scientist!
