If you haven’t waded into the waters of the Independent Film Festival this week, Friday is your last shot.
For $20, you’ll catch 13 short films from New England filmmakers. And starting at 8pm, there’s an
after-party at Firebrand Saints in Cambridge. Tux optional.
A really long time ago, Fluff was invented. In Somerville. And on Saturday, there’s a massive celebration
of the stuff all afternoon. Think: two stages, fluff jousting, marshmallow tosses, live local bands and even
a fluff lick-off. Let’s hope you don’t get paired with an ex for that one.
We’re entering peak leaf-changing season. So if you’re getting a jump on things this weekend with a
basket filled with snacks and a lengthy drive through New Hampshire, you can hit the lumberjack competition
in Berlin on Sunday for BBQ, competitive logrolling, chainsawing and even women’s axe-throwing. Hot.
Tuesday
MOLLUSK-Y
Oysters and Beer, Together Again
Legal Sea Foods is celebrating Hemingway’s favorite shellfish by way of a five-course
mollusk-and-craft-beer dinner on Tuesday. The goods: bacon-fried oyster gumbo paired with Saison Dupont
Farmhouse Ale, and Kumo oysters with vanilla cream foam teamed with Left Hand Milk Stout. Drool. Chin. Wipe.
