— Nantucket Comedy Festival, Jul 28-Aug 2, Nantucket Island, MA. 508-228-1515. http://nantucketcomedyfestival.org/events.html The August Moon Festival in Chinatown, Boston is slippery. While promoted for August 3rd, I have reason to believe it is actually August 17. http://www.chinatownmainstreet.org Tip of the week. Here’s how to see bats. Near any pond at night, throw some pebbles or grit way into the air. You may trick some bats into appearing, who mistake the pebbles for flying insects. Tip 2: Always bring a blanket or chairs for outdoor theatre, movies, or concerts. That ought to keep you for a week.-Johnny p.s. Please tell your friends about this blog.
