FRI 5/23
7pm
"Winedown" w/ Dance Lessons
at Harvard Book Store, 1256 Mass Ave, Cambridge (Harvard Sq)
FREE
Not a bad way to start the weekend. The Sox are in Oakland, so you're not going to miss any of the 10pm game if passing through Harvard Sq for a glass of wine or two. Dance instructors from Cambridge Center for Adult Education will somehow demonstrate all sorts of styles (Latin, Swing, Disco, Greek, Bollywood). I don't know where they'll do this, but you might end up dancing if you get too close.
FRI 5/23
7pm
Liam Finn: Performance & Signing
at Newbury Comics, 36 JFK St, Cambridge (Harvard Sq)
FREE
Check Neil Finn's (Crowded House) son out for free, and you might want to pay $12 as he opens (along with local chanteuse Sarah Blacker) for the wonderful Laura Veirs at the Middle East - Downstairs.
FRI 5/23
9:30pm
Laura Veirs, Liam Finn, Sarah Blacker
at Middle East - Downstairs, 472 Mass Ave, Cambridge (Central Sq)
$12 / 18+
Worth a couple extra bucks. If you love songwork and don't like this show, contact me and we'll figure out a $2 refund...
FRI 5/23
10pm
Rock Bottom, Downbeat 5
at Johnny D's, 17 Holland St, Somerville (Davis Sq)
$10
The Downbeat 5 are the perfect blend of 60's soul and old-school punk into great Boston garage-rock. Rock Bottom consist of guys from great Boston punk bands who do 70's rock classics. Great fun!
FRI 5/23
6pm to 10pm
Climate Confluence Benefit Show
w/ HUMANWINE, The Paperdolls, Amatul & Natebox, Evan Greer, Bambuu Waza, Adelaide
at Acorn Housing, 1486 Dorchester Ave, Dorchester (near Fields Corner T)
$7 to $15 -- sliding scale / pay what you can
Where does the young revolutionary find entertainment on a Friday night? Fields Corner. I did a Google Street View, and it looks sketchy -- but that's half the fun, right? Proceeds benefit the Northeast Climate Confluence and "a bail fund for activists who will be protesting the Republican National Convention in Minneapolis/St. Paul."
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
SAT 5/24
Noon
EarthFest
at Hatch Shell, Charles River Esplanade, Storrow Dr, Boston
FREE
The big ones are Cake (4:45pm), Cracker (3:15pm), The English Beat (2pm), The BoDeans (12:45pm).
Cake AND Cracker! Why not get 70's soft-rockers Bread while they're at it... If I don't stop at a bar or abandoned condo for cocktails, I expect to have a good time even though the crowd will be massive.
There is a secondary "Boston Music" stage with guys like Adam Ezra (12:15pm) and Tim Blane (1:30pm), and a "Kids Stage".
SAT 5/24
7:30pm to 11pm
Tango by Moonlight
over the Charles River on the Weeks pedestrian bridge, Memorial Drive side, near Dewolf St, Cambridge
FREE
It's the first night of "dance on a bridge" season that lasts for the next 5 full moons or so. As usual, they'll start with brief period of tango instruction, then you can try for as long as you like until you feel like dancing any way you like. It's a fun time with and without a partner, since you can usually find a partner or two. It'll be too nice to be inside, so you might enjoy the atmosphere. Perhaps the spirit will move you.
Raindate: SUN 5/25
(Regardless of clear or cloudy skies, raindates are used only if it is actually raining at 8 pm on the primary date.)
SAT 5/24
2pm
Boston Zombie March IV
at South Station to Newbury St to Boston Common
FREE
I've only observed zombie marches, but I think this is a hilariously good time. There should be a lot of zombies who really get into their zombie-ness with very cool outfits and makeup. The plan is to finish at Boston Common, and play games -- as zombies. Bring frisbees, wiffle ball, hacky sacks, etc; then play in your lumbering undead way.
In case you don't Facebook, here are some guidelines:
* No running in the STREET
* No touching outsiders unless they wish to be transformed
* If a kid starts to cry, walk away!
* Do not chase/run after people, especially children. This means you can walk after people (in zombie fashion) but do not make them run for their life!
* No breaking and entering.
* No vandalism.
* If you go into a building, leave it as it was.
The people-watching on Newbury will be WAY better than usual...
SAT 5/24
1pm to 5pm
Sailing Open House
at Boston Sailing Center, Lewis Wharf, Boston (North End)
FREE
Enjoy a free sail in the harbor. If you want to sign you up for lessons, you can -- or you could just check it out and enjoy the ride and free refreshments. Again, this on Lewis Wharf by the Marriot; look for the riverboat. As they say, "No sailing experience necessary. All ages welcome. Free refreshments, too."
SAT 5/24
9:30pm
Elemental Zazen, Elephant House, ViceVersah, Dysfunctional Genepool, Left Over Wine
at Middle East - Downstairs, 480 Mass Ave, Cambridge (Central Sq)
$10 advance / $13 day of show / 18+
There still might be a chance to get an advance ticket when you read this, because most of the performers on this hip-hop show are really good. Elemental Zazen deftly and sincerely raps about his life story as well as peace and justice. Elephant House is something I haven't seen before: jazzy funk/rock with a monster bassist who's also the MC. Dysfunctional Genepool and Left Over Wine both have a cool, indie/underground style.
There was a good Elemental Zazen profile in The Phoenix this week .
SAT 5/24 & SUN 5/25
10pm
A.K.A.C.O.D.
Saturday:
at Atwoods Tavern, 877 Cambridge St, Cambridge (near Inman & Kendall Sq)
FREE
Sunday:
at Alchemist Lounge, 435 S Huntington Ave, Jamaica Plain
FREE
Two chances (both around 10pm) to see one of my fave bands around. AKACOD features saxophonist Dana Colley (Morphine/Twinemen), vocalist/bassist Monique Ortiz (ex-Bourbon Princess), and drummer Larry Dersch of Binary System. Picking up where Mark Sandman and Morphine left off, the instrumentation (including the slide-style bass parts) still churns a jazzy/noir "low rock".
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
SUN 5/25
2pm
Al Maze's Annual Memorial Day Walking Tour
at Forest Hills Cemetery, 95 Forest Hills Ave, Jamaica Plain
$9
It's not as strange as it sounds: I love walking through Forest Hills Cemetery anytime with or without a guide. (It's free to walk around independently.)
Celebrate Al Maze's Heroes on his Annual Memorial Day Walking Tour
One of his most popular tours: a walk exploring the stories of soldiers and survivors of the Civil War and other battles.
Al will read excerpts from letters, diaries and newspaper accounts that illuminate the experiences and emotions of the men and women who have served during wartime.
Meet at Main Gate. Wear comfortable shoes and bring water; this is a 2-mile walk (with frequent stops) over varied terrain.
SUN 5/25
The Bellrays (11:30pm), The Architects (10:30pm), Balls (9:30pm)
at TT the Bear's Place, 10 Brookline St, Cambridge (Central Sq)
$10
The Bellrays rock so hard, your head might explode. Frontwoman Lisa Kekaula has a massive, soulful sledgehammer of a voice and a tremendous stage presence. It really does make you think of The Stooges being fronted by Aretha Franklin or Tina Turner. "Balls" includes 2 SnowLeopards and a Bang Camaro (for a little metal?). Heidi Saperstein of SnowLeopards is a powerful singer, and she'll hold her own. Likely to be a draining show, but you hopefully have Monday off.
SUN 5/25
9:30pm
Sad Marvin, Everyday Disaster, Never Whispered
at Middle East - Upstairs, 472 Mass Ave, Cambridge (Central Sq)
$8 / 18+
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
MON 5/26
10am to 4:45pm
Memorial Day -- Open House
at Museum of Fine Arts, 465 Huntington Ave, Boston (The Fens)
FREE
One of the MFA's open house days that includes guided tours, family activites, and special events with a Spanish flavor like: Aztec & Mayan multi-media culture performance (11am), Basque short films (12:30pm), traditional flamenco (3:15pm).
The regularly $23 "El Greco to Velazquez: Art during the Reign of Philip III" exhibit is also free (first-come, first-served). If you really want to enjoy it without a big crowd, I'd get there before 10am... And "Rhythms of Modern Life: British Prints 1914-1939" is ending next week.
MON 5/26
2pm
A Memorial Day For Peace
at Christopher Columbus Park, Boston (North End/Waterfront)
FREE
Various veterans groups for peace will have representatives to speak at a ceremony to remember and mourn those who died for our country, and convey that we should protect our soldiers from dying in "endeavors not for the common good." (If you know what I mean...)
MON 5/26
7pm
Boston Skeptics in the Pub w/ Patty Pieniadz
at Tommy Doyle's, 96 Winthrop St, Cambridge (Harvard Sq)
FREE
This guest speaker Patty Pieniadz is an ex-Scientologist big-wig. I think it would be funny if Scientologists put on Tom Cruise masks and protested outside of this -- like the "V for Vendetta" anonymous protestors...
MON 5/26
10pm, 11pm, Midnight
Extreme Bingo (Final Send Off)
at Milky Way Lounge, 403 Centre St, Jamaica Plain
FREE / 21+
Yes, it really looks like the last Extreme Bingo as the hostesses are moving away. Three games of bingo with cool prizes. It looks like free pool starts at 6pm, and free bowling at 9pm. This will be a party, and I'm going to try to be there.

TUES 5/27
9pm
Paul Ahlstrand Quartet
at Sally O’Brien’s, 335 Somerville Ave, Somerville (Union Sq)
FREE
If you've heard saxophone on a Boston band's recording, it was probably Paul. His quartet is classic straight-ahead jazz. It's top-notch stuff; I'm surprised we can hear them for free, you'll probably feel the same way. (You can always buy a CD.)
TUES 5/27 and WED 5/28
Tuesday:

Ted Sorensen, "Counselor: A Life at the Edge of History": Reading
at Brattle Theatre, 40 Brattle St, Cambridge (Harvard Sq)
$5 (tix available at Harvard Book Store, 1256 Mass Ave -- or by phone: 617-661-1515)
Wednesday:
5:30pm to 7pm
"An Evening with Ted Sorensen": Panel Discussion
at JFK Presidential Library, Columbia Point, Boston (UMass Boston campus)
FREE w/ RSVP
When I saw this guy was a close advisor, I thought, "Whoa, he's still alive?!" (No offense to anyone in that age group!) Sorenson began working with "Senator" Kennedy in '53 and continued through the beginning of the Johnson administration. Decades after ghost-writing "Profiles in Courage", he's finally written his memoirs.
There's a reading on Tuesday. The Wednesday discussion should be especially interesting with scheduled participants from the Kennedy administration: Robert McNamara, Carl Kaysen, Lee C. White, and others. Register for the JFK Library event here.

6:30pm to 8pm
"Banned in Boston: The Silent Speech of Margaret Sanger": Discussion
at Old South Meeting House, 310 Washington St, Boston (Downtown Crossing)
FREE
About 80 years ago, pioneering birth-control advocate famously did NOT give a speech in Boston, but her remarks were read by someone else (at a Ford Hall Forum) while she sat with a gag over her mouth. This was the "Banned in Boston" era, and she was told she could not deliver her remarks. Cecile Richards of Planned Parenthood and Susan Shaer of Women's Action for New Directions will be two of the speakers that will discuss Sanger's speech, her message, censorship, and so on.
"Equal time will be provided for the speakers' remarks and questions from the audience."
THUR 5/29

Russell Banks, Mike Gravel,Howard Zinn: "A Conversation about American Identity"
at Brattle Theatre, 40 Brattle St, Cambridge (Harvard Sq)
$5 (tix available at Harvard Book Store, 1256 Mass Ave -- or by phone: 617-661-1515)
With wacky former presidential candidate Mike Gravel involved, this should be a wild discussion. All three have recently published books. Gravel has released an autobiography. Novelist Russell Banks (The Sweet Hereafter, Affliction, etc) has written a nonfiction examination of the arcs of the American story from colonial days on. Howard Zinn has an updated & illustrated version of his classic that's been re-titled "A People's History of American Empire".
EVENT UPDATE: Please note that due to personal matters, Professor Zinn will not be attending tonight's event with Russell Banks and Mike Gravel.
THUR 5/29
8pm
"(In)Famous: 20 Years of CCTV’s Most Talked About Programming"
at Brattle Theatre, 40 Brattle St, Cambridge (Harvard Sq)
$2
For an extra two bucks, stay and watch some of the classic and infamous clips of the last 20 years Cambridge Community Television. Besides the typically proud moments of local TV, see footage of "gratuitous frontal nudity, the violation of an uncooked chicken, and a bunch of other shows that prompted residents to file complaints with the FCC."
If you want a commemorative t-shirt as well, you can get the advance shirt/ticket package for $20 here. But I assume they'll sell t-shirts that night as well...
