Yeah, there are free cupcake samples on the last Monday of the month, and they're cocktail-inspired flavors.

Beware of the urge to leave with a bag of goodies.

MON 9/26

8pm
The Dangling Conversation: Improv Theatre
at The Lily Pad, 1353 Cambridge St, Cambridge (Inman Sq)
$7

The two-person improv group, The Dangling Conversation, describe themeslves:

Our improv explores the small scale mania and beauty behind everyday relationships. Our performances are loopy, developed, strangely true to life, and yet hopefully different from what you’ve seen before.

Should be interesting as 2 people who are improvising to be funny 100% of the time. This is a video sample.

MON 9/26

9:30pm
Viva Voce, The Parson Red Heads, Let's Whisper
at Great Scott, 1222 Comm Ave, Allston

Wow. Some trippy, catchy, folky indie-rock from Alabama, Oregon, and Vermont.
