Sneak Peek: SAT 8/28

Enjoy the weather, friends.

I didn't find much non-musical cheapness for Sunday -- besides St. Anthony's Feast (that's also Friday & Saturday) in the North End. [shrug]

If you're on the fence about attending, there should be some free wine...

Note: Saturday and Sunday's shows are at Chinatown Park on the Kennedy Greenway (on the other side of the Gate).

There are some folding chairs, but you're encouraged to bring your own seat if you really want it.

If you're hungry, there are plenty restaurants in the neighborhood to pick something up...
