Tomorrow is PrideFest from noon to 8pm, and South Water Street will be closed to traffic all day. There is always good food and music, and booths where you sign up for things. According to the weatherman, it is supposed to be a super summery day — hot and sunny — so I’m sure everyone […]

My favorite new segment on Saturday Night Live is ‘What Up With That?’ a faux BET show hosted by D’Andre Cole (Kenan Thompson) who never seems to get around to interviewing his guest panel, which always includes a sullen Lindsay Buckingham for some reason. But the best part is watching Jason Sudeikis (in the red
Head over to ‘the 201’ tomorrow for some party night mayhem. This invitation comes from the lovely and pneumatic Shara who was terrorizing the Jersey Shore when Snooki was still in catechism class (and classing up the joint I might add). Join Kimmy “The Situation” Sunshine, and Shara “Shay-woww” the Jersey Girl for 4 decades
Micah Jackson will be playing for the first time ever at the newish Faggatron party hosted bi-weekly at The Dark Lady (124 Snow St. for those who somehow haven’t made it down yet). I’m going to force Jackson to let me play a hype Lady Gaga minimix including every single number one single she released in
Tony Lepore, Providence’s famous dancing cop, was featured recently in a segment with Mo Rocca on Sunday Morning on CBS. Lepore can usually be found waving, spinning and bouncing around on Dorrance Street at Westminster (or maybe Weybosset, I’m not sure). He is retired from the Providence Police Department but is sworn in for special
On this jam-packed Wednesday night, don’t forget about Goosebumps at Lot 401. (After the Blogosphere spectacular, after Drinking Liberally, after the Geeks, after the fundraiser for Open Doors…) 44 Hospital Street, until close. [But mostly only come to our thing which is once a year and always much better anyway — free Hanukkah gelt. BC]
HealthAccessRI (which David Segal wrote about here) is the nation’s first primary care subscription program, homegrown right here in Rhode Island. Essentially, it’s a network of primary care doctors offering affordable primary care to patients who lack health insurance or have high-deductible insurance. And HealthAccessRI is launching a campaign to grow to a total of
If you answered, “Must Be Santa” give yourself a star (we also would have accepted Hunter Thompson as a correct answer). And then be sure to check out this new straight-up weird Bob Dylan music video for his Christmas song of the same name. It’s quite hard to say at first what to make of
Strange shenanigans are afoot at the 201 Friday night with the “return” of superdeejay Larry (no last name given, or apparently required) and his solid gold (possibly literally) dancers and world-class superdeejay crew. From the “official” FB page: Before Local 121, AS220, The Firehouse, AfroSonic, LoveLife, Paint-it-Pink, IndieDance-Party, and the ‘Filthy Rich’ in Olneyville making

To (almost) quote Emma Goldman, “If I can’t dance, I don’t want to be a part of your [health care reform].” Dance you will this Friday at The 201. Providence’s dearly departed DJ duo Certified Bananas (Sammy Bananas now resides in Brooklyn, Certified Max in Boston – catch them while you can) will be on
The Grant, Machines With Magnets, Kafe Lila and the Pawtucket Arts Festival are mounting the First Annual Rocktucket Block Party. Pawtucket native, Chachi, emcees for the day, with a DJ dance party till the end (bands listed above). Scheduled under Arts & Activities are: ‘POP: Art inspired by music’ in the Grant Building; ‘Schwalterego’ at
We’ve been talking up SoundSession for a few days now, but the Saturday night scene deserves a special mention. Westminster Street turns into one helluva dance party. Live music, beers, dancing, spontaneous conga lines — everybody is happy and it’s a crazy fun time. Don’t worry if you are one of those booty-challenged types who
And glorious: [youtube]hWABJzHrGww[/youtube] Session’s out for somewhere between 2 and 28 weeks, so they say…
[youtube]29bEflxToas[/youtube] While block parties at the Dark Lady are generally the bane of my gay summer existence, this year the DL is kicking off their outdoor festivities with an all-day all-night bang that might actually be more entertaining than the typical bunch of drunk forty-year olds dressed in head-to-toe Hollister.* On the musical front: LANDED,
