But I'll probably just end up going up there around the time you do Gabbneb, which has been an annual event for the past six years. You need to work your sources for Green Monster seats for me.

is this a boston franchise?!? 'cause i've seen them in NYC and philadelphia. and it seems like a down-market version of dunkin donuts (which i always thought was a boston franchise).

Some amazing Venezuelan food to be found in Boston.

So... are there exciting festivals etc in Boston in the summer (July-September)? So far I have discovered the jazz festival in late September, and the Tanglewood classical festival which appears to be really quite far from Boston. Surely there must be some pop/rock/electronic stuff?
― toby, Sunday, 20 April 2008 16:06 (sixteen years ago) link
you can take a bus to/from Tanglewood

But the answer's basically no, afaik. You want folk/roots music-type stuff, there's a decent amount of that nearby, but no Glasto-type events. Most of your big festivals exist in places where there are fewer big cities - everyone comes here anyway - and to the extent you find them on the East Coast, they're usually gonna be more central, i.e. between NY and DC.

if you're just looking for (semi-)outdoor concerts, and maybe this is obv, there's the Tweeter Center in Mansfield, plus the South Shore Music Circus and Cape Cod Melody Tent
― gabbneb, Sunday, 20 April 2008 16:31 (sixteen years ago) link
There's definitely a growing electronic scene if you are into house/techno/nu-rave stuff. I think there was a small indie-pop festival last year too.
― Michael F Gill, Sunday, 20 April 2008 16:56 (sixteen years ago) link
Thanks for the info - I didn't expect that there would be anything much, but then I hadn't known about Pitchfork/Lollapalooza before moving to Chicago, so you never know...
Electronic - I am definitely into my mnml etc. Are there particular places/websites/whatever to find out about stuff going on?
― toby, Sunday, 20 April 2008 21:33 (sixteen years ago) link
Not necessarily the type of festival you're talking about, but there's the Boston Early Music Festival:

There's also the Boston Folk Festival:

― HI DERE, Sunday, 20 April 2008 21:48 (sixteen years ago) link
T - I don't know about festivals (were actually contemplating going to Chicago for Lollapalooza but then realized how $ it would be) really but there are a lot of good shows coming up. We have tickets for six shows in may already.
Unfortunately I don't think there's a single Boston gig website. I usually just check the websites of realiable venues.
www.mideastclub.com www.thedise.com http://www.ttthebears.com/
I also use livenation.com pretty often.
Hope that helps some.

the little light bulbs in the shapes of "8"s from which you can make any number.
These are called 7-segment displays. Not as cool as Nixie tubes or Numitrons, but still cool.

although maybe it's just me having to listen to people who have NEVER so much as mentioned basketball in all the time i've known them act as if they have been diehard celtics fans since birth. maybe they were. but i doubt it!
living in philly for so many years, i have never lived through so much WE RULE! SIS BOOM BAH overload. obviously.

that's the overzealous nature of boston sport fans though. wallow uncontrollably and/or boast proudly.

I KNOW that is the thing about this story that is utterly ridiculous. how does it take 17 hours to catch a dog?

You have to remember that the Curt Schilling body shape is relatively prevalent here, only without the attendant Professional Athlete caveat.
