We meet on Tuesdays at 7:45 pm. Unless otherwise decided, we will be meeting at 233 Broadway, Cambridge, MA. Let me know if you want to come.

Housing News

I’m back. The actual occupancy permit is just paperwork away, and I moved back to sleeping in Cambridge on Friday.

I’m still needing a lot of help moving things – Anne and I spent a lot of Friday evening moving boxes in my bedroom so I could go to bed. The TV set died after one day of showing the news, so I have ordered a new one, for which I will need help moving the living room around.

So it will be a while before the housewarming party, but at least it’s possible to make progress.

Communications to the group, not necessarily about the group

In general, I try to keep these emails to one a week, and mostly about what the group is doing. But it is a vibrant social institution, and people do want to use it for other things. So here are some of the recent attempted posts about such things.

Macbeth

Anne <alkalinelilac@gmail.com> writes:

Several of us have mentioned the Commonwealth Shakespeare Company free performances on the Boston Common (stage near corner of Tremont & Boylston) and wondered whether we might plan a group outing.

A few years ago some of us brought a picnic to share, attended Cymbeline, and brought some friends with us. Generally, if one gets there an hour ahead one can get a decent seat and enjoy a picnic before and during performances. There are some food trucks and ice cream (just a few) available also.

Macbeth preview sounded exciting. The performance schedule [for August] is as follows:

Tues-Fri, Sun, August 1-4, 6 at 8PM Sat, August 5, 6PM

So let Anne know if you’re interested, and which dates would work for you.

A request

Pam <pamhsiehcambridge@gmail.com> writes:

Do any of you happen to have any musical instruments that are of no use anymore, so bad you can’t play them anymore? If so, I’m looking for some to paint a still life series. Thank you, Pam
