A couple of weeks ago, I mentioned that local band Dropkick Murphys would be appearing on the January 11th episode of David Letterman’s CBS late-night talk show.
Well, that appearance has come and gone, but thanks to the kindness and video skills of some YouTube-using fans, people can still enjoy their performance.
Band members actually played two […]
Whew! That was a close one! Amtrak workers are not going on strike!
Just about everyone who commutes into, out of, and within Boston on weekdays had one thing on their mind recently—the rapidly increasing likelihood that Amtrak employees would go on a nationwide strike come 12:01am on January 30.

Or at least British author J.K. Rowling, the woman who created him and his wizardly world, is.
Cambridge-based Harvard University announced Thursday that the next individual to deliver its annual commencement address will be the renowned writer. She, of course, penned the seven-volume young-adult Harry Potter fantasy series that eventually evolved into a behemoth film […]

For the first time ever, the local team held a 5 For Fighting Hunger Can & Cash Drive aimed at helping the non-profit Greater Boston Food Bank […]
Unbelievable. Of all the members of the female gender in the world, Harvard University’s gleefully juvenile, occasionally humorous magazine the Harvard Lampoon has decided to bestow the title of Woman of the Year upon hotel heiress Paris Hilton.
Why? I suspect it’s because the boys who make up the majority of the publication’s staff […]
Just two weeks into the New Year, and already Boston has experienced a hallmark.

Madeleine Albright, the accomplished former U.S. Secretary of State under President Bill Clinton (1997–2001), is coming to Cambridge tomorrow.
Although registration is required for her 5:30pm EST joint appointment with Harvard Professor of International Relations Joseph Nye at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum and tickets are sold out for her 8pm appearance at […]
Have you heard? This Saturday, January 12, Boston will host its very first No Pants! Subway Ride. Officially called No Pants 2K8 this year, the depantsing event is an extension of an annual organized group experience started in New York in 2002.
Big Apple-based comedian Charlie Todd established Improv Everywhere in 2001 to spread […]
If you’ve ever been in Boston for a substantial amount of time or read about the city from afar, chances are you’ve noticed it referred to as “The Hub” more than once.
According to Dictionary.com (one of the best free resources online, incidentally), technically speaking, a hub is “the central part of a wheel … into […]
Did you know that January is officially National Soup Month in the United States? I didn’t think so, and neither did I.
Regardless of our collective ignorance, the world-famous, Boston-based restaurant chain Legal Sea Foods intends to make the most of the month next Tuesday when Boston will celebrate the “Legal” holiday called Chowda Day.
