Too much to choose....
Apr. 30th, 2003 08:34 pmAs Cthulhia has already noted, this weekend includes both Somerville Open Studios (SOS schedule here), and Vernon Street Open Studios (Vernon Street info), not to mention Writers With Drinks Friday night, hosted by the still-local Charliegirl (WWD schedule).
That should be enough for one weekend, really. But meandering through the Square this evening, I found out that there's a bit more going on locally. There's Arts First, a Harvard University celebration of the arts, May 1-4, though I think things are concentrated on the weekend (Arts First info here). And Sunday is also Mayfair, in Harvard Square, vendors, live performance, and a booth where you can "Dare to Be Bare" (no, not that bare; heads only!), getting at least 10 inches of hair cut off for Locks for Love (Mayfair details)
Of course, Sunday is also the Walk for Hunger (their site), so many people will be passing not so far from Harvard Square along the Charles (and Mem Drive closed to traffic, too; I'm definitely not planning to drive around there this weekend :-).
Oh, and the Longy School of Music has some free concerts this weekend, including some early opera (Friday and Saturday at 7 pm; Longy info), and Sunday afternoon the Dante Alighieri center is honoring Dante's birthday with a talk by the author of The Dante Club (Dante Alighieri Center's site).
And for anyone who has an account with Fleet Bank, during the month of May you can use your bank card to get free admission at a bunch of museums in CT, ME, MA, NJ, NY, RI, PA, and NH (Fleet's list of museums).
