Tribbles like you’ve never seen them before! Captain Kirk with cleavage!
Um, what?
My friend, Karen, is performing in this.
Karen’s pretty cool even when she’s not dressed up as Captain Kirk but this – this is really cool. Also, FREE. Come one, come all. Details are here. If you missed this at Arisia 14, this is your last chance.

I received this today from the folks at Mercury Orchestra. Channing Yu is their Music Director and Conductor and he’s fantastic. Check out the announcement if you’re looking for some musical activities this summer.
Singing Stones Jewelry will be a featured vendor this weekend at The Art of Craft at the Fayerweather School in Cambridge. This is a fundraising fair for the arts programs at the school. There will be live music, food, and lots of handmade pieces by craftspeople from all over the region.
Please come and bring the whole family. Admission is $5 per person with a maximum cost of $20 per family. Parking is FREE and the school is located just off of Route 2 and also off of the Rt 78 and 74 bus lines.

This Sunday Cantilena will perform their second concert of the season at 4:00pm in Arlington, MA. Josh Lawton, organist and choirmaster of St. Peter’s Episcopal Church in Central Sq, Cambridge will accompany the group.
Cantilena performs a variety of songs for women’s voices about forces of nature, human endurance, and triumph over personal challenges. Compositions range from Romantic to Modern, featuring works by Franz Schubert, Emma Lou Diemer, and Ron Jeffers. Experience Jonathan Pieslak’s energetic “Solar Flares” set to Romanian poetry, Susan Borwick’s bluesy setting of a famous speech by Sojourner Truth, Carol Barnett’s raucous and lusty interpretation of Dorothy Parker’s sarcastic “Song of Perfect Propriety,” and music sung by women imprisoned during WWII in Sumatra as memorably depicted in the film “Paradise Road.”
For more information on the concert click here. Ticket information is here. The concert will be held at:
First Parish Unitarian Universalist
630 Massachusetts Ave., Arlington, MA
First Parish is accessible by the 77 bus.

Today is a beautiful day. In fact, today is supposed to be the best day this weekend. Do all of us who are stuck inside working a favor:
Take your dog for a walk. Find a bench and read Game of Thrones in the sunshine. Go to your local park with some friends and practice your light saber dueling. I know we’re in the grip of Marathon frenzy right now so maybe don’t take a backpack anywhere, but go out and do something. Get some of that Vitamin D that we New Englanders lack.
And for the love of all that is good and holy, don’t hole yourself up in a library, museum, mall, or other indoor windowless place. Those of us who are stuck working inside one of these places thank you in advance.
~Kelly
So there was the Game of Thrones season 4 premiere.
Then this happened.
And then, the fan art.
My day? Made.

ETA: Fan art, the gift that keeps on giving. Now with MORE CHICKEN.
ETA the Second:
While twitter brought us the above image, it didn’t bring an attribution… immediately. Thanks to the link to this post getting around the original artist got in touch with me and I can credit the original image to ROCOM. You can find ROCOM at that link, which goes to tumblr, or on twitter @rocom
This is what the original image looks like.
If I hear from the creator of the image at the top I’ll be glad to ETA again.
I’ll let the graphic speak for itself.

Cambridge Open Studios is back, and this year it is all of Cambridge in only one weekend. Just like last year there will be a shuttle bus that will take you, for free, all over town. And, lucky for us all, the primary departure point will be at Cambridge College, 1000 Mass Ave, every hour on the hour. That also happens to be where I’ll be showing my work this year. I love it when a plan comes together.

I have concert listings. Lots of concert listings. These are upcoming concerts that I’m not performing in but will try to attend. You should try to go as well. Music is good for the soul. Also, Bach rocks. And, there may be cake.
