| Winter Restaurant Week, March 5-10 is basically a marketing gimmick, but may be a way to experience a pricey restaurant for less. |  |
| Comedian Jerry Senfield visits the Wang Center on March 4th. |
 |
| The largest festival for live roleplaying in the area is coming up. Intercon, March 3-5 in Chemlsford. Live roleplaying is sort of like improv comedy, but sometimes it’s drama or sci-fi or horror genres instead. See website and sign up in advance for the games. |
 |
| Also, check out Spring Public Night at Wellesley College’s Whitin Observatory, March 3rd. In Wellesley. 7-9pm. Someone important will be giving a talk on the Cassini mission to Saturn. No RSVP needed; just show up. Note, their website is screwed up and does not show the date, but I’m on their mailing list, so it’s definitely happening. Call ’em. |
 |
| Comedian Wanda Sykes, March 3rd at the Orpheum Theatre. |
 |
| MIT’s favorite a capella group is putting on the MIT Chorallaries Bad Taste Concert, March 4th in Cambridge. MIT room 10-250. Arrive early for seating. 11pm. An interactive annual concert with jokes in poor taste and where the audience gets to throw toilet paper and act crazy. |
 |
| The Bank of America Celebrity Series hosts The Chieftains, March 11th. That’s really next week but since I know about it now and you need some time to buy tickets, why announce it late? I’ll try to do better about that. |
 |
| Also it’s the annual AAA Travel Show, March 3-5 in Foxboro. Admittedly it’s more of a marketing event than a festival. But aren’t you curious how must it costs to visit Grenada, Tivolo, and Botswana? Check out the various AAA discounts at http://www.aaa.com/aaa/240/sne/membersh |

Also, as I mentioned earlier, SPAMALOT is playing March 7 – April 15. See www.wangcenter.org.
This week’s bonus event, how about coming to my house and doing some Spring Cleaning? 🙂
