This weekend’s moderator will be the weekend.
Your Perks: 1) Two pairs of perfectly fitting jeans for $153. Keep what fits, return the rest for free. 2) A hoverboard-like device so you can live out all your Back to the Future Part II–related fantasies. Well, almost all. 3) A box full of sexy things. It’s okay to admit you want.

Unidentified Voice: Shhhh.
This is new. There’s an actual “Pity Party” being thrown by the Somerville Arts Council with sad live music, depressing comedians, melancholy poetry, Drabby the Sad Clown and ice cream from Gracie’s. Regular ice cream, not sad ice cream.
Rosebud just turned one. And to celebrate, they’re inviting you to a laser tag birthday party. Kidding. It’ll be a luau-themed patio party with live surf rock, scorpion bowls and a pig roast with sticky spare ribs and pork pot stickers. It’s an intense first-birthday party.

This Saturday, the city of Everett is closing down the streets between Night Shift Brewing and Short Path Distillery for a little Village Fest. There will be 11 food trucks. There will be live reggae music from the Wailers. There will be beer and gin. The city of Everett cares.
