  • Grecian Yearning, RIP

I briefly flashed indignation at not knowing about the top secret allston blog cabal until I got to their Deep Ellum drink selection.

There were quite a few drinks enjoyed, and the Cranberry Lime Rickey seemed to be the favorite at the table. I enjoyed a mint julep (which they even served in a silver cup) and a Black Water (rye and Moxie).

Them’s some questionable beer bar decisions there. It makes me question your whole frame of reference, the entirety of your existence.

UPDATE: Dogfish. I may have spoken rashly.

A precious young one invades Herrell’s.

Nobody wanted to make funny faces at Baby, or tickle Baby’s tummy; they wanted to hold Baby. To try Baby on. Indeed, at least three of them picked Baby up without asking. It was a frenzy. It was madness! They grabbed for Baby, the sword in the goddamn stone; and every one of them fancied him or herself the King of Cool. “How funny,” they were all saying by the crack and curl in the corner of their lips as they held it, “is this baby in my freakishly tattooed arms?”

Wednesday, July 2nd, 2pm-7pm, Jackson Mann Community Center For more information, depress mouse while cursor is here.

This being Allston, of course, it’s best to clarify that anyone with non-sterile piercings isn’t able to give. Or if you’ve recently traveled somewhere malarial. Or if you’re a man who has had sex with other men. Or if you weigh less than a buck ten. Or if you’ve got the flu or low iron. Or if you’re interested in getting an HIV test. The rest of ya’lls, go get bled.

Whenever it stops storming and decides to act like summer again, Gareth says the Deep Ellum patio is finally open.

This Saturday in Ringer Park. For more information… And yes, the typo in our city name below is pretty amusing but JUDGE NOT because that’ll come around to bite you some day.

A great set from the Super 88, patterns, colors and repetition. From rpkrajweski.

ameadowlark turns one of the most critical fashion failures of our time and place into a hipster GPS.

From Sarah Gatzke, a brief documentary on Finale Dessert Company’s’s new pastry kitchen in Allston. Be forewarned: do NOT watch while hungry. Unfortunately, you still have to get thyself to Coolidge Corner or Harvard Square to actually buy something.

They don’t call it your moneymaker for nothing. Massive score at the Pill.

So I was shaking my booty on Friday hoping to avoid those flailing dancefloor boneheads who think The Pill is Thunderdome Jr, when I spied a small piece of green and white paper on the floor. Eureka! The Shoegazer’s dry streak is over, and just in time - The Shoegazer found himself freed of the shackles of full-time employment this very week.

Archival shot from Ringer Park in 1973. The urge to defile rock outcroppings with spray paint has been around for at least 35 years. Ok fine, somewhat longer than that.
