Naked Celebrities!
In order to make my blog more attractive to web surfers I have decided to begin referencing the very subject these folks are searching for: celebrities. It is a lazy marketing strategy.
Today, I woke, and ate a delicious breakfast of bagels that Jerry Seinfeld would approve of. I then I traveled to my bathroom, a den of sloth that would turn Martha Stewart directly to the sponge and ajax. Here, I...
That Tickin' Ain't A Bomb
It’s the gears at work… The tourism industry of Boston is very strange for me to understand. I am sure this unique in no way to Boston, but she is our subject at hand.
At times it appears that people get off of busses and proceed in a conveyor belt fashion towards certain objects, many of which aren’t historical or in any way interesting.
I grew up outside the city, but I have never...

Everything Smells Like Pastrys
I spent today out pedicabbing in the beautiful tourist plucking grounds of the North End. The sun couldn’t decide if it wanted to stay out or not, and I couldn’t decide if I wanted to work very hard or not. I ended up doing a lot of sitting around on Hanover street until a coworker, Brett, decided to take a nap in that great new park over the big dig near the union oyster house. He was...

How I Saved A Life
Tonight was the kickoff to the Phish reunion tour at Fenway Park. You get an interesting crowd when you sell 15,000 tickets to see a jam band for a hundred dollars a pop. Hippies. Massholes on hallucinagens. Dave Mathews fans who decided to stick around for another night. Diehard Red Sox fans in withdrawal.
The temperature dipped after the show started and the streets around Fenway were a...

Tonight's Highlights
I picked up two women from the Dave Matthews @ Fenway show. Being from Swampscot, they wanted to go to “the bahs.” We made our way down boylston towards one of the most hallowed of all Boston late-night breeding grounds: The Alley. While her friend talked to a manfriend on her cellphone, the more portly of the two grunted out “yah, work it baby” with all the tact of a...
