Victoria Welch reports on the scene outside the Somerville Theatre last night:

... The funniest part of the whole thing was that a busker decided to try to capitalize on this crowd by starting his performance the moment the doors closed. This might have been slightly more tolerable, except for the fact that the lovely dwellers of an second-floor apartment were trying to pipe in the sound of the concert radio broadcast to the people below. And we couldn’t hear what was said. Thanks to the busker. ...

Nancy Pearl Wannabe informs us that one is full of sketchy stores and an iParty where you too can buy a Passover Bag of Plagues, while the other is full of sketchy frat boys and plagued by U2. Also, she issues a warning to said frat boys and band members:

I will smash that Solo cup right out of your sloppy hands if you get too near my newly-washed car.

No website or contact info is listed on the flyer.

Carolyn Grantham alerts us to the existence of deep-fried cupcakes, at Kick Ass Cupcakes:

... We ate it walking down the street, our faces smeared with chocolate syrup and cream. It's not something one can consume delicately or with any pretense of sophistication. It's also something best shared; a whole one may just finish off a healthy person of average size. ...

Taco Town.

Here's a photo of the guy who's been scamming sympathetic Red Line riders by giving them a copy of the Metro or the Dig or God knows what instead of Spare Change News when they hand over a dollar (or more, since he begs for additional funds).

Sarah reports her boyfriend was a victim of a Spare Change duper at the Davis Square T stop yesterday: He gave the guy a dollar (and another dollar because, well, he was also panhandling) and, instead of Spare Change News, the guy gave him some other, free, paper.

Sassy Sundry gets on an 89 bus and is immediately transported to another dimension, where T bus drivers enjoy their jobs:

... As she jerked the bus to a halt at the next stop, she thanked every rider. "Thank you, folks, for riding the T! Doors are closing! Mmmmm doggies! We're riding now! Yahoo!" ...

If you look at it and think, "THIS IS NOT YOUR MAMA'S SNOW SHOVEL" then you're probably on the right track.

Belinda the Willow Tree is now Belinda the Pile of Sawdust and Woodchips despite protests from some modern-day Kilmers, who attempted to use the power of music to sooth the savage chainsaws, but to no avail.
