The days are getting longer. The nights are getting shorter. Layers of clothing are slowly coming off and you're getting thirsty.

Cat Power will be at the Orpheum. Last time Bostonist saw her, she seemed a little plowed and, with her dark glasses, she resembled country singer Ronnie Milsap. Since then, she's been hanging out with Karl Lagerfeld. She's different every time, but the music is always memorable. 7:30 pm.

Blogtoberfest Tonight, Thursday, October 25, 2007, 6:00-8:00 pm The Pour House, 907 Boylston St., Boston Official site Jenny Frazier is holding a gathering of the Boston bloggers tonight, and it promises to be a blast, if last year's event was any indication. Well, there might be a few awkward silences as bloggers (Bostonist included) make the scary transition from online friendship to in-person friendship, but that's what beer is for! If you are a...

This week is officially Bike Week. Regular commuters, part time enthusiasts, friends, and allies of bikers will be donning their helmets (please put on your helmet) and taking to the streets to celebrate a great form of human powered transportation. While many events take place from Boston to NoHo we're focusing our attention on those happening close to home. Free biker appreciation breakfasts and group rides have been organized. Check out the full listing at...

No, it's not actually Mary Anne digging the new Apple Store in Back Bay. It's unlikely that there will be a steam shovel converted to a boiler heating the new Apple venue on Boylston St, but it would make a great tale. Tech Superpowers has a web cam set up backing up to the 815 Boylston property that will open as the new glass encased Apple Store this fall, from which you can watch...

The Boston Globe had a little sidebar note in the morning paper today that the revised, now three instead of the initial four floors, Apple Store plans for the 815 Boylston St. address had been approved by the Zoning Board of Appeals. Apple still has to go through the process of applying for the necessary demolition and building permits to turn the building into the three story glass façade building it is currently planning. This...

In just over a week, on May 7, the ICA will close its doors at the Boylston St. location in Back Bay and move into the New ICA building on the waterfront. (Hynes will be left by it's lonesome when both Virgin and ICA leave the nearby stop.) The New ICA will open on September 17, 2006 on the waterfront and at some point it will lose the “New” part of the name and become just plain Institute for Contemporary Arts. Eh, who are we kidding? It’ll be the ICA. This weekend, thousands of museum curators, administrators, students, and interested members of the public willing to shell out $250 per day will attend the American Association of Museums Annual Meeting, marking the 100th anniversary of the organization. Participants will surely be aware of the museum construction in Boston. The MFA’s director, Malcolm Rogers, will chair the meeting – and no doubt make mention of the MFA’s fundraising effort. The Children’s Museum, also undergoing an expansion, will host a party during the AAM’s meeting in Boston. Harvard’s Fogg is ramping up for a temporary stint in Allston as their current location undergoes serious renovation – plans which may change after Summers's imminent departure this summer.

Earlier this week, Bostonist was busy using up some Best Buy gift cards at the Cambridgeside Galleria. There was a noticeable lack of activity on a Tuesday evening, just after dinnertime. Wandering through the empty rows of stores we wondered what might be the fate of the large Filene’s that occupies the space – will Cambridgeside see the transition to Macy’s, Bloomies? We thought for a second on the question and then just went to...

resource when you're looking to go the miserly route. We were reminded of this last Friday when we had a chance to see one of Berklee's many great jazz ensembles for the lovely price of $0. That sparked our curiosity. so we wandered over to the Berklee site to see what else they have going on this week. Question: How many free live music events can one college offer in a day? Answer: Eleven. Bostonist was particularly interested in the "Music of Bob Marley" concert this afternoon. Dear Diary: Jackpot.
