We meant it as a joke when we said that former Romney aide Jay Garrity was the only one on the team having a good week. But it might be true. WBZ is reporting that Romney is "suspending" his campaign.
Thanks to the Freedom Of Information laws and the PATRIOT Act, we were able to petition the federal government to listen in on last night's weekly Manning Family phone call. Here's a sample:
Junot Díaz will read at the Brattle Theatre on Wednesday, September 12, at 6:00 pm. Tickets are $5 and are available through Harvard Book Store. Some books are interesting. Some books are memorable. Some books may eventually win prizes. And then there are the books that, one day, will be taught in classrooms as an example of how writing is really done. The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, by author and MIT prof Junot...
Tedy Bruschi will be signing books at Brookline Booksmith on Saturday, September 1, at 2:00 pm.
What's the perfect way to celebrate the first day of spring? How 'bout some nice hamburgers cooked on your very own new-to-you grill. The first place to look for a mammoth $4,000 grill is of course in Manny's garage – and you'll find it on Ebay. We can't find a model number for this monstrosity, but it's likely to kick something in the range of 40,000+ btu's. The full description given on Ebay:
Hi, I'm Manny Ramirez. I bought this AMAZING grill for about $4,000 and I used it once... But I never have the time to use it because I am always on the road. I would love to sell it and you will get an autographed ball signed by me =] Enjoy it, Manny Ramirez.The Sox are getting web savvy these days. Schilling is banging out his own blog, now Manny's up on Ebay. It certainly was hard to believe at first that Manny would be selling his grill on Ebay – but then we saw the pictures (one pulled and posted here.) Sure looks to be Manny being Manny, and selling a grill. Opening bid was $3,000 and it's now up around $4,300. Must be the free signed baseball.
It can't be the first documented case of "Manny being Manny" this year – but it's close. The Herald's 'Track Ladies were all over the Red Sox slugger this morning for what they're filing as a hair don't. Last year Manny strutted out for training with dreads that had obviously grown since the fall, dreads which he'd gotten the ends of colored during the off season. He got flack then, though little did we know he'd out do himself with the do this year. It's not so much the long dreads that are out of control they took issue with it's whatever type of garment he's using to keep it in control. The Herald got George Amaral's, of Salon Mario Russo, take on Manny's look at spring training this year "Amaral said he does give No. 24 thumbs up for 'actually wearing a Red Sock' on his head. 'But I like Manny with short hair,' he said. 'Short dreds with a little color actually look best on him.'” The hair won't likely change the way that Manny addresses the ball – but if he keeps it as is there will likely be more pictures like the one shown here where his batting helmet is hanging on for dear life to the mass of dreads in a red sock.
Remember how Bostonist wondered what the Schilling family was up to when Shonda made an appearance as a concerned citizen during one of the gubernatorial debates?
Bounding out of Sundance with critical acclaim Miranda July’s "Me and You and Everyone we Know" opens in Boston, well Cambridge, this weekend. On a journey across the states, the film opened in New York and LA two weeks ago and adds Kendall Square Cinema to the list this week, with more to follow in the future. Today being July 1, Bostonist thought it a great opportunity to catch up with Miranda July. She answers some questions about how to make it as an artist, outreach, and casting. Read the Interview and watch for a Bostonist Contest running Monday through Wednesday next week. We're giving away an IFC movie pack, tote bags (everyone loves a tote!), and tickets to catch the flick on the big screen.
Mitt's aspirations to be President of the United States seem to keep surfacing in the local news. Today he has finally confirmed that he is in fact testing the waters, but we'll have to wait until the fall for a firm bid. This mcuh-quoted utterance - "If someone said, well, you know, the governor's testing the national waters, that's a fair characterization," Romney said. "But I'm planning on running for governor. Time will tell, I'll...
Admittedly, Bostonist should tell you about tonight's Kathleen Edwards show at the Paradise. She's a Canadian variation of the venerable Lucinda Williams and she has a knack for writing hard-luck songs--Bostonist's personal favorite, "Westby", is a scathing Lolita track with a snotty chorus: "If you weren't so old I'd probably keep you/ If you weren't so old I'd tell my friends/ But I don't think your wife would like my friends." Catty! She's country,...
Bostonist's big brother, Gothamist, scored an interview with movie maker, Todd Solondz, who's newest film, Palindromes, opens in Boston on Friday, April 29th. So of course we did what all younger siblings do: idolize them by posting the interview below.
Nothing like a little bad boy publicity to get the book some press, huh? Johnny starts his book promoting next week, kicking off April 4th in NYC. He's making an appearance at Borders in Braintree on April 12th.
