The Rocky Horror Picture Show

Posted on October 14, 2023 | Leave a comment

The Central Square Theater Company will present a local production of The Rocky Horror Picture Show later this month. Tickets to the production range from $24-98 including fees.

For those who (somehow) are not familiar with this cult classic, here is a synopsis: On a dark and stormy night, sweethearts Brad and Janet suffer a blowout. Dammit (Janet). Without a spare they enter (at their own risk) the eerie mansion of the dangerously charming Dr. Frank-N-Furter who seduces them with his B-movie horror film wonderland complete with a motley crew. Do the time warp (again). Be hypnotized by this hedonistic rock-n-roll promenade through gender, sexuality, and identity, and learn what it means to be from the planet Transsexual.

This definitely makes for a great date night or night out with friends. After the show, consider heading over to the very gay-friendly, ManRay for some dancing, cocktailing, and more fun.

Vote NO for Jim Jordan as Speaker

Posted on October 14, 2023 | 1 comment

I don’t often write about politics because there is already a lot of political conversation on both sides but every once in a while I can’t help myself and this happens to be one of those times. I should be clear, I NEVER liked McCarthy as Speaker of the House, and I felt the same when Representative Steve Scalise was first mentioned as the next Republican Party nominee for Speaker.

However, with Jim Jordan now emerging as the frontrunner to be nominated by House Republicans I wanted to express why I hope the 15 or so Republicans representing districts won by Joe Biden will come together to vote NO and block his nomination.

Jim Jordan has been very vocal, promoting conspiracies about the 2020 election and one should assume in the upcoming Presidential election (if Speaker) he will continue to fan those flames of half-truths and not certify election results he opposes.

Politics aside, the idea that someone in a position of power would / could reject or refuse to certify election results — something I believe Jim Jordan has said multiple times that he wished had happened in the 2020 elections — I find upsetting to contemplate.

I don’t want to see the US House of Representatives without a Speaker, but I would prefer that to have Jim Jordan as Speaker. I would like to see the Democratic Party run advertisements in districts currently represented by Republicans but won by Joe Biden in 2020, encouraging their voters to contact their representative to ask him/her to vote NO for Jim Jordan as the next Speaker of the House.

riddle, exercise for your brain

Each Friday morning I post a riddle to get you to think outside the box and exercise your brain. If you are stumped, share it with a friend or colleague and see if you can figure out the answer together. Leave your guess in the comment section.

This week’s riddle: A zombie, a mummy, and a ghost bought a house. It has all the usual rooms except one. What room won’t you find?

I’ll approve responses later in the day to allow people to respond without seeing any spoilers.

Boston Book Festival returns Oct 14

Posted on October 7, 2023 | Leave a comment

Next Saturday, is the city’s Annual Boston Book Festival. The one-day event will takes place in and around the city with most events taking place in and around Copley Square and the Boston Public Library.

The festival’s timing comes after the Boston Public Library announced late last month that it will be the third public library in the United States to join the “books unbanned” initiative, which allows anyone between the ages of 13 and 26 who lives in the United States to obtain a Boston Public Library e-card and check out e-books and digital audiobooks.

The free festival, sponsored by WGBH (open to the public) will bring together poetry, fiction, nonfiction, young adult and kid authors who will participate in readings and discussions, book signings, workshops, and other lively literary events.

This year’s full schedule can be viewed here: BBF Schedule.
