After the Mooninite Menace and Star Simpson's light-up sweatshirt, we were starting to think that the entire city of Boston was afraid of its own shadow. But Toronto just made us feel better by having its own experience of homeland security gone awry in the face of art. Torontoist has an interview up with a gentleman who just scared the holy shit out of the city. And this is Canada, people, aka America's Hat. They're...

The Red Sox have been linked time and time again to reality television this season. There was "Sox Appeal," of course, but there were also calls for the jigging Jonathan Papelbon to Riverdance his way onto "Dancing With the Stars" and the segue FOX used last week to link the Boston bullpen band (the Black Pearl) to what looks like a God-awful new series, "The Next Great American Band."

Saturday was the third anniversary of the war in Iraq and was marked, as you might expect, by marches and vigils in the more liberal corners of our liberal Commonwealth. Today, the Globe reports that "a small but crucial number" of Guantanamo detainees - many of whom have been there since before the Iraq war began, make up a "hard-core group of firebrands" who have "called down the wrath of God on U.S. officials." And on Friday, Bostonist heard a story on NPR about how the U.S. is being forced to defend its treatment of the Guantanamo detainees, including force-feeding them to keep them alive.

The Berwick is one of the city’s treasures. While achieving some notoriety for throwing some rock shows that quickly got shut down, the Berwick is a thriving institute that runs on a volunteer basis, commissioning ideas and art from around the area. According to Director of Administration, Mary Fuller, the Berwick is thriving, with interesting programs such as their Artist In Residency Series featuring Eugene Tan's performance garments that "wear the wearer" and the Satellite Projects, which will feature the debut of a buscycle. It's gratifying to see how the Berwick supports art. It’s never too early to make a donation (you want a tax deduction, right?) or to get on a mailing list, and poking around the Berwick site will get you in touch with some of the city’s most dazzling minds. Artists throw the best parties, after all, and they could use the support.
