2nd Post this Week: Quidditch, Brides Dancing Thriller, Chainsaw Carves Sculptures, Live Owls

09/22/10 by Johnny Monsarrat

Two posts this week! See the last post too which is also this week. But I couldn’t resist an extra post because of Bride Thriller and Quidditch craziness. Enjoy!

And check out Next Bus, which works on the Web or on your handheld to tell you where the MBTA’s buses actually are, using GPS, and if you didn’t see it in 2008, Auto-tune the news, which is impossible to describe, but good.

Bride Thriller		Sun 9/26	Boston Metro

Massachusetts Independent Comics Expo		Sat 9/25	Boston Metro

Chainsaw Carving		Sat 9/25 – Sun 9/26	North Shore

Farm Day 2010		Sat 9/25	South Shore

Toasting Scouting’s 100th		Sat 9/25 – Sun 9/26	Southeast Mass

Spirit of Shrewsbury Fall Festival		Fri 9/24 – Sun 9/26	Worcester

Nor’Easter Festival		Fri 9/24	New Hampshire
It’s not a great idea to have a festival during a Nor’easter, but these guys don’t know that with their 3 day outdoor music festival atop once of the most picturesque places in New Hampshire. Loon Mountain, Lincoln, NH. more
Black Mountain Foliage Arts & Music Festival		Sat 9/25	New Hampshire
