Oh hi - if you're new here, welcome! I'm Knizer, I dig through event listings every week and put together a thread of reachable-from-boston-and-cool things going on. I do this to meet people and to help get our neighbors onboard the fediverse. If this resonates, share this with your not-yet-on-mastodon friends, or just boost things you think are good. If you've got an event you want to highlight in a thread, tag me and/or use the #BostonWeekend tag.
I also just (this week) created a Boston Area Starter Pack to help groups, bands, and other organizations who are in #Boston or nearby - I need your help to grow the list! https://fedidevs.com/s/Mzgz/

Monday - Bill Gates will be in #boston talking about his new biography about his early life. but its 70 bucks, including the book, for access to the show.
Aside: I truly would like to know why Bill Gates, noted billionaire with a net worth well over 100 billion dollars, needs to charge seventy bucks a head.
Still, if you want the opp to speak some truth to power, thats the price of admission, keeping the riffraff out, idk anymore. Through Harvard Bookstore.

Sunday 2pm, Somerville Theatre - The Flying Ace (1926). What was known as a "race" film, made to be shown at segregated theaters, and has an all-African-American cast.
It's considered one of the best examples of the genre. There will be live musical accompaniment.

With Live Music by JEFF RAPSIS The Flying Ace is a 1926 black-and-white silent drama film directed by Richard E. Norman with an all-African-American cast. This film was inspired by Bessie Colman and six-reel film, made by Norman Studios in Jacksonville, Florida, utilized a mix of professionals such as leads Laurence Criner and Kathryn Boyd, and non-professional actors.[1][N 1] Films such as The Flying Ace, that used an all-African-American cast and were shown specifically to African-American audiences, were known as "race films". Norman Studios produced feature length and numerous short race films during the 1920s. The untapped black filmgoing market and the plethora of talented performers unable to get work in mainstream films led to the production of race films by Norman Studios.
Well shucks, another weekend over - Monday is back again. Hope you had a great one.
Please pass along our Brand New #Boston Mastodon #StarterPack, mostly of groups and orgs local to Eastern Massachusetts.
See you again Friday! 🤘
