New here? I curate a thread of events in and around #NewEngland every week as a personal project to help make this space feel more like a community of neighbors. I've met a bunch of locals as a result and broadened my horizons a bit.
Times are trying - tell your pals IRL or by boosting if this sort of project resonates, if a handful of folks find events/friendship as a result of my efforts, I feel a sense of giving back, and I'm grateful to know when that has happened (it keeps the project a-going).
Onward! #BostonWeekend 2/x
Fri/Sat/Sunday
it looks like #SLUTCRACKER is sold out, though you can still get non-resale tickets for the shows after Wednesday, last show Jan 5.

We will leave from Cambridge, have a stop at Revival in Lexington for some hot cocoa, and finish in Davis Square. 20 mile road ride, chill party pace. Registration will open Monday 12/15 at 10am. As always, all queers welcome. ( song cred @naomiwestwater )".

Friday - Don't know the band but they're called Johnnie and the Foodmasters, its got to be something, sextet playing 50s-60s covers in a weird/noisy style - at Lillypad with a couple other bands, idk. $10 or so.
RIP grocery stores with carpet, it smelled weird the few times I ventured in. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnnie's_Foodmaster
Saturday - The Del Fuegos (iconic Boston band formed in the 80s) are back with 2 holiday shows, matinee has tickets still available starting at $50
