(1.28) You have to think that Saturday Night Live will be a little different this weekend. For one thing, the cast will probably be packing their overnight bags for a sleepover with Willem Dafoe and Katy Perry! Will Pete have a new girlfriend by Sunday? Will Colin and Scarlett’s love nest be wiped off the …
(2.7) A winter storm warning has been issued for the entire state. The Mayor’s Office has issued this parking ban notice: Due to expected severe winter storm conditions, a citywide parking ban will go into effect at 8:00 AM, tomorrow, Sunday, February 7, until further notice. Residents with overnight parking passes are advised that they …
We’re a little late to the party here. Moses Brown’s “School is Closed” video (feat. school head Matt Glendinning) has already been viewed over two million times since its posting on Monday. In case you missed it, watch here. The school’s director of communications, Adam Olenn, came up with the concept, wrote the lyrics, and …
You’re not going anywhere for a while, and official travel bans goes into effect at midnight. Hurricane force winds? Feets of snow? Yikes. Let the eating-drinking-smoking begin. (We’ll see if there’s a baby boom in nine months . . . kids named Juno.) Blogs can’t help you now . . . go watch TV. Or, …
Oh just park anywhere. (Actually, firemen are busy digging out the fire hydrants. Feel free to pitch in with that effort; the life you save may be your own.) Governor Chafee has declared a statewide travel ban for the day so just stay home and eat your food. Zappa plays Zappa at Lupo’s has been …
I think we can forget about the ‘Weekend in Music’ feature this week. Known cancellations: AS220 has cancelled all activities for Friday and Saturday; the Met has postponed the Friday Neighborhoods show to April 27; Firehouse 13 has postponed Friday’s Madball; Fête has postponed its Mardi Gras party. Does any of this really need to …
Boy, the Brown students sure picked the wrong week to go home for Christmas. First the Brown victory over PC and now this. Come back everybody, these snowballs* aren’t going to throw themselves. Fun fact: the first Brown University bear mascot — a live bear, in 1905 — was named Helen. *Primo stuff out there.
A parking ban for the City of Providence is now in effect through Monday 2pm. This looks like it’s going to be a pretty decent storm. Here’s a novel idea — let’s see some kids outside playing in the snow. For at least a couple of hours, push away from the goddam X-Box and frolic! …

I got your ‘whee’ right here. This snow is bad for snowballs and snowmen, but great for angels and sledding. The screams of terror/delight coming from the Moses Brown hill on Lloyd Avenue can be heard blocks away.
A couple weeks after Matthew’s post, snow is again predicted for the Providence area. A good 4-8 inches, according to Weather Underground (’bout time! It’s nearly January, and the light coat I brushed off my car this morning hardly qualifies). Except I haven’t heard anyone writing out their last will and testament yet or lining …
While some of the incomplete plowing on the South Side probably resulted from the hard pack that accumulates almost immediately in places where people are the workers and not the bosses, it was pretty lame compared to how many itsy bitsy East Side streets were already clear and dry tonight. The South Side probably sees …
Most Biggest Snowman: Kat and Katie provide scale, and cuteness. (Lincoln Field off Thayer, Brown.)
[youtube]sKoXJNm5M_I&NR=1[/youtube] So, tomorrow it’s going to snow. Global warming’s given us some pretty mild winters the last couple of years, and apparently that one storm last year still has everybody’s panties bunched. If you get the City’s weekly propaganda about how awesome David Cicilline is e-newsletter, you probably just saw this: Mayor Cicilline & Providence …
Last night the City Council did a few things. Reversing the order in which the Projo engages them: It passed a resolution decrying Providence College’s god-awful treatment of its janitors, whose contract is up. In other action last night, members unanimously approved a resolution expressing support for the janitorial employees of Hurley of America, which …
