EVENTS: FRIDAY & MONDAY

FRIDAY
Two-person show opening at the Boston Sculptor's Guild! There is stage magic and delight in both the works of Eric Sealine and in an installation by Kim Bernard.

Yup - you're right! This is not the official SOWA First Friday, but the BSG had the good sense to let the holiday simmer down before hosting an event. Good planning.


MONDAY
The Cambridge Green Streets Initiative is celebrating its 2009 achievements at the City Hall this coming Monday at 4:00 PM. The invitation tag-line? "Participated in 9 in '09?! Live, work, or study in Cambridge? Please come join us to celebrate!!!"

Bike Friday.

June 19th is another Bike Friday event; the town & other vendors collect at Government Center to provide a breakfast bonanza for the bike-commuter convoys arriving from all over the city. I am looking forward to a second morning of gracious enjoyment. My first experience with Bike Friday was during the combined Bay State/ Cambridge Bike Week. The Harvard Square breakfast hosted by Harvard's Commuter Choice Program pepped up my midweek by awarding me night lights simply for showing up (thank you!). Similar "rewards" were offered at Friday's breakfast to the epic music of Led Zeppelin eerily vibrating between the cloudy concrete walls of our City Hall. While I think the freebies are both unnecessary and surprising considering the economy ... the food is an excellent way of luring folks in. Well done, and once again, thanks.

Convoys leave at 6:45AM from various locations in and around Boston including Newton, Brookline, Belmont, Cambridge, Lexington, Arlington, Somerville, Dorchester, Jamaica Plain, West Roxbury, Roslindale, Allston, Brighton and many more. You arrive, non-stop, at City Hall Plaza by 8:15.
