Boston ain't that bad

still sick, but at work, but about to bounce....

the irony of life is that no matter what city you go to, people will complain about it, especially those who are not natives.

with that said, although I'm sick, I'd like to get into something this weekend and my options are diverse

Tonight, there's a fundraiser for the Urban Scholars program at UMass-Boston at the Emerald Isle. I think me and the li'l shorty will play the background for tonight though.

However, on Saturday morning, Laurent de Brunhoff, author of the popular book and series, Babar, will be at the French Library for a talk and host of children's activities. This is a very kiddie-friendly-event since I'll probably have the midget with me (if we don't oversleep).

Saturday afternoon, the BeanTownJazz Fest hits Columbus Ave with its annual dispay of music and food and people. I always enjoy myself chilling at this event. Very laidback and chill-like. And lalah hathaway is performing at Berklee tonight if you want to drop some extra duckets for a good show. And yes, Boston does have a jazz festival.

On Sunday, HubOnWheels, which is essentially the Boston Bike Festival, takes place. We almost got the chance to do the web site for the event, but they stuck with who they had already. Oh well.

Then, there's aways Big Funny Sundays at the Emerald Isle and the Poetry Jam at the Lizard Lounge.
