The Few tonight @ Precinct Bar, Union Square, Somerville + -
We're playing down at Precinct, a new bar in Union Square in Somerville that's already being recognized as one of the best small venues in Boston! We're psyched for this one - both because of the VENUE and because there's gonna be a few record label reps in the house! We're gonna be playing one hell of a show, and we need your help to show these guys what The Few is all about - YOU!
So come on down and check out this bar, the set, and some of the other bands we're sharing the bill with - give 'em a listen, this is gonna be one hell of a show! Here's the info, hope to see you there!

I would have written this as:
"Due to illness, Lisa Lawrence is unable to perform, her gig will be rescheduled to a later date. In her place, Perks is very fortunate to have found, on very short notice....."

Halloween Cheaply... + -
###
Admission: I've never gotten very excited about Halloween. I usually enjoy myself when I do something on 10/31, but I like to dress up in costumes and cause mayhem every other day of the year...
Have a good time! Here are some things to do in case I don't get out the weekly list tonight... (Wish me luck.) I tried to group for "ease of use". Pardon any missing links.
(Thanks to Sensei Jason Gould for passing on these links to suck the fun out of Hallo-- err, I mean -- to safely enjoy Halloween: Halloween Safety Guide & Red Cross tips.)

Annual Halloween Bike Ride
meet outside Green Street T Stop, about 150 Green St, Jamaica Plain
FREE / All Ages
Imagine the type of fun-loving, free-spirit types that would ride all around town in costume. It sounds like they get into a bunch of shenanigans along the way, and I think it would be great to join them. You don't have to wear a costume or decorate your bike, but you should. The ride starts around 8:30 and goes about 14 miles at an easy pace. The route is a secret until you get there, but you'll through parts of Boston, Brookline, and Cambridge before returning to JP by 11:45pm for a group visit to JP Lick's.
"Costumes, helmets and lights are encouraged."

Boo-rrito Day
