| Edgar Allan Poe and Margaret Fuller: A Conversation | Thu 10/14 | Boston Metro |
 |
|
| You have to see this! I caught the show a couple of weeks ago. Edgar Allen Poe had a female nemesis, a playful adversary in the literary world, and two re-enactors do a performance which is a battle of wills, and then take questions. It’s not only amazing, this is probably your ONLY chance to see this ever again. And it’s free. And Metro. Seriously, what’s your excuse for not going? 7-9pm. Somerville Public Library, Somerville, MA. see details on the complete Events Insider |

| A Conversation with Sam Harris on Science and Morality | Fri 10/15 | Boston Metro |
 |
|
| Even awesomer, come to Harvard and see one of the world’s most outspoken atheists say “We are people too.” The problem with non-believers is that, we’ve got shit to do. So we don’t organize. Maybe this once, get out of your routine and go have some pride. 8-10pm. The event is free and there are no tickets, first come first seated, so get there early to make sure you get in. The Memorial Church, One Harvard Yard, Cambridge, MA. see details on the complete Events Insider |

| Harry Potter Day at Escobar’s Corn Maze | Sat 10/16 | Rhode Island |
 |
|
| Also literary (sort of), what’s better than a corn maze? Harry Potter day! Come dressed as a geek with a wand. Actually, wait, you’re fine as you are. 251 Middle Road, Portsmouth, RI.401-683-1444. see details on the complete Events Insider |
||||
| Fitchburg Forge-In and Blacksmith Festival | Sat 10/16 | Worcester |
