The Pipers Are Coming to Rockport!

By rockportlegionband - 8/17/10 - 6:54 pm

On Sunday, August 22, the Rockport Legion Band welcomes Creagan More Pipes and Drums for a joint concert on the bandstand at Rockport's Back Beach. The 7:00 P.M. program is free to the public and will be the second year that the two groups have joined forces. Last year's performance received rave reviews, and we expect that this performance will equal the last. If you like the pipes, you should not miss this show.

We suggest that listeners arrive a bit early, since this was a very well-attended event last year. There is free parking along Beach Street after 6:00. Please remember to bring your own chairs or ground covers.

The complete program is available on the band's web page at: The Rockport Legion Band

Rainy Day Board Games

By sooz - 5/15/06 - 10:49 am

The next installment of the board game night I help run in Allston at the Common Ground is happening (tomorrow) Tuesday, May 16th. We have about 35 board and card games to play. It's 21+ to get in and free admission (with food and/or beverage purchase). The Common Ground is at 85 Harvard Avenue in Allston. The nearest subway stop is the corner of Harvard/Comm Ave on the Green Line's "B" Train. The 66 and 57 buses also stop near by. They have surprisingly good food so come for dinner and then stay for the games.

There's , too.

Boston WiFi

By dykstraNet - 2/8/06 - 1:53 pm

The Globe is reporting today that Boston is setting up free WiFi throughout the city at a cost that could be as high as $20 Million. Is this a good use of public funds? Do you want the city being your ISP? Are they going to pull some folks off the parking ticket desk at city hall to field tech support calls?

More Cool Community Journalism Tools

I just sign-up this Free service.  Some of their multimedia features caught my interest are:

- an online video blogging feature: simply drag & drop videos and publish instantly,

- an online recording for podcast: you can even record Skype conversation and use it for your own podcasting, 

- another interesting feature is the "Audio slideshow" - you just need to upload your digital photos and record some narration online, you then got a
"Talkingslideshow; It's great for Show' N Tell your stories.

Give it try ! - hope you will enjoy it as well as I do.
