| BCA & Boston theater |
[Jul. 18th, 2009|07:34 pm] |
Hey everyone, I was just wondering if anyone frequents the BCA (Boston center of the arts) and has a membership there? I went there for the first time earlier this summer (jerry springer, haha) and am thinking of going again for a few of their shows this August... I saw they have memberships starting at 50 bucks and I was wondering if that ends up being a good deal? It's 10 percent off "regular" tickets and I was wondering if that included student discount tickets (I assume not, unfortunately).
Also, any recommendations for Boston area theaters at a college-friendly price range besides the BCA? thank you! |

Has anyone heard anything about Shakespeare in the Park this summer? It's usually around the end of July, but I can't find anything online about it. I know last year it almost didn't happen because of lack of funds, so is that what happened this year? |

| Getting to Foxboro/Gillete Stadium |
[Jul. 17th, 2009|05:56 pm] |
I'm sorry if this has been asked before, I didn't see it in the memories and nothing seemed relevant when I did a LJSeek.
Is the commuter rail stop at Foxboro only open for Patriot's games, or for any event happening there (specifically, the Elton John/Billy Joel concert tomorrow). MBTA only shows me it's for special events and I can't find a list of them.
Any other ideas on how to get to Foxboro?
Did someone mention some sort of bus that goes to concerts? Because now I can't find it under any of the memories/tags/searches.
Thanks |

| Is there a procedure to follow if you're harassed on the T? |
[Jul. 17th, 2009|03:36 pm] |
|
This afternoon I was riding the T and a creepster put his arm around me, squeezed my shoulder, and then followed me into the next car when I moved away from him. (After treating him to a look of repulsion and a disgusted "Excuse me.") I got off the T in a hurry and he tried to follow me, but the door shut in his face. ( I wonder if the T driver saw what was happening and did this on purpose). Does anyone know if there's some sort of procedure for reporting this to transit police. Should I have approached the driver? My plan was to go into a nearby store and have them call the police if he had been able to follow me off the train, but now I feel badly that this idiot is still wandering around the public transit system creepily touching/stalking people. |

| A shopping quest |
[Jul. 17th, 2009|12:52 pm] |
I have been (fruitlessly) trying to find two things in the Boston area:
1. Pliny the Elder beer, from the Russian River brewery. About 1/3 of the last issue of Zymurgy Magazine was about how great this beer is and how it won their annual Best Beer award. I'd like to try it, but so far, I haven't found it in any of the liquor stores I go to. Anyone know of a store or restaurant carrying it?
2. A potted Kumquat tree. Kumquats themselves can be found at some Whole Foods, and I could try growing a tree from seed, but I'd prefer to buy a small one already alive and kicking. Anyone know of any local places that sell them? |

Anyone know of a good hair salon that opens earlier than 9 (preferably somewhere on the B line before Harvard or in Coolidge Corner)? I know, it probably doesn't exist, but I'd like to get my hair styled/dealt with before my flight for a business trip...
Thanks |

Is there anywhere in the metro area to sell pretty good quality art reproductions (some Monet, Degas, and others)? We wanted to try other places before putting them on Craigslist. Thanks! |

Does anyone know of any clothing swaps being organized for the near future? Or even where I would look to find this information? Everything on yelp and meetup.com was old.
Thanks! |

| Students - health care plans? (universityhealth) |
[Jul. 16th, 2009|06:40 pm] |
Hey everyone, I have a question regarding health care plans which is geared mostly towards current or past students at MA public schools (including the UMASS and state colleges).
I'm starting my sophomore year at an MA state college and because my school doesn't except my mother's insurance plan, I need to find a new one. After doing some research it looks like that the University Health plan (available to students at all umass/state colleges) is the best deal expense and coverage wise. I'm looking at the enrollment right now and it lists the available doctors, dentists, etc in my area (I live in the south shore of Boston when I'm not at school).
My questions...
1. Has anyone ever enrolled in this plan before? Or known anyone who has? Any input on that is particularly appreciated.
2. If anyone has had any experiences with services at the following places I'd really appreciate it because I've never been to any of them before (my previous doctors/etc don't accept this health plan and I can't afford to go to them out of pocket)

So I am visiting a friend that goes to UMB and we want to grab a drink after his class.
Are there any good bars, near or around that area?

Okay, so I am planning a Bachelorette for my best friend and wanted to take the group to Jacques Cabaret. Apparently, even with calling a month in advance there are no tables available to reserve.
A few questions:
- Anyone have any pull at Jacques? I'd be forever at your mercy...
- Anyone know what the odds of getting 15-20 of us in on a Saturday night in August without a reserved table?
I've never been there so I don't know how much space or how many people they let in above the maximum.
Anyone else have any cleaver ideas for a Bachelorette party in Boston, in addition to the typical get drunk and go to bars?
You see, this best friend took me pole dancing at Gypsy Rose so I wanted to "get back" at her with something as naughty.
The date is Saturday, August 15th and it can't really change...
HALP b0st0n ! |

| Two (2) Vans Warped Tour Tickets for Sale |
[Jul. 16th, 2009|12:01 pm] |
So... I have Vans Warped Tour tickets that I can't use.
Two general admission tickets for next Tuesday, July 21st, at 1PM at the Comcast Center in Mansfield, MA. I'm asking slightly less than face value, so $50 for the pair (LiveNation's selling them for $26.25 each) plus however much shipping is if I have to mail them to get them to you in time.
Price negotiable. Make an offer.
