Providence native and Moses Brown grad, Sam Daly, is slowly being introduced into The Office storyline as Matt the handsome warehouse worker and Oscar’s secret crush (that everybody knows about). He’s only appeared in four episodes so far — with about as many lines. He’s often seen entering the room or leaving the room, and […]
This will be a good time, though it violates (what surely oughtta be) our policy of not indulging events with question marks listed as their ending times: Enjoy Japanese/Mexican fused Love Dumplings by Ebisu and El Rancho Grande. Complimentary hors d’oeuvres by Hudson Street Deli. Three cash bars, featuring I HEART PROVIDENCE martinis, by the
Grab a date, a cute stuffed toy or a random stranger and mark your calendar. February 14 marks the return of the Valentines Day Portrait Studio at AS220. Always wanted a reason to drag your significant other out for a quality portrait, but dreaded the standard Sears backdrops and same-old-same-old mannequin poses? Of course you

Meet at White Electric around 3:30 where we will soon after depart. Bring suggestions for destinations you would like to stop and sing at,
David Brussat had a wonderful column in the ProJo yesterday about the sweet little Arnold Building on Washington Street (the shallowest building downtown) which suffered a fire last month. Apparently the damage wasn’t too terrible and there is hope that it can be saved, and not turned into another parking lot. His larger point is
Andrew WK, musical genius and host of ‘Destroy Build Destroy’, has been named the ‘Harvard Lampoon Entertainer of the Year’. He will be feted at a secret ceremony and banquet to be held at castle headquarters on Bow Street in Cambridge. Mr. WK will be going on tour shortly with the Calder String Quartet, with

We were warned a favorite holiday season event would be expanding into a year-round shopping, gallery, craft school and show venue, but the past couple months, Westminster Street has just been teased with papered-over windows and “opening soon” signs. But, ta-daah! Craftland is up and running today, and you’ll have to get up and running
I nearly drove into a tree when I saw that a pinata store had opened on Broadway. What kind of cockeyed optimist opens a pinata store, in this state, in this economy? I finally stopped in and her name is Sussy and she’s really swell. Sussy made a point of explaining that these are not
Congratulations to Dose editor, deejay, and maniacal bass player, Eric Smith, and all the other ‘mericans who were voted ‘Best Local Act’ in the 2009 Providence Phoenix Best Music Poll. When reached for comment, frontman Chris Daltry had this to say, “Gee gosh, t’wern’t nothin’.” He then lit a cigar with a hundred dollar bill,
[youtube]8TRkZpFgJcI[/youtube] Micachu and the Shapes are kids from East London. (For the love of God, will someone please send England some orthodontists?) Their new cd Jewellery might be turning into my new summer thing. The sound is kind of hard to nail down — the iTunes description goes with “primitive punk squonk” — okaaaay. Another
And in hopes of real summer weather. (Beth — you should feel free to ignore this one, and just check back in next week for my equally-relevant post, about the Stampeders.) Mungo Jerry thankfully kept the misogyny to a minimum in In The Summertime, maxing out around “If her daddy’s rich, take her out for

So I’m beginning to wonder if this isn’t actually
Norway. Black metal curdled into something a wee bit death-y over in Scandinavia. Practitioners seemed to have lost sight of the whole ‘fun’ thing, giving in to Nordic despair and good old-fashioned Viking mayhem. Learn more tonight at AS220 at a showing of Until The Light Takes Us, a chronicle of the evolution of the
Alright, slacktivists: Here’s an easy one for you. The state looks poised to eliminate what’s known as “General Revenue Sharing,” the biggest bucket of money the state gives to cities and towns to help out with general operations. In practice, this means that cities and towns will be compelled to raise regressive property taxes, in
