Celebrate the origins of the Native American genocide by going to see some European art! Bostonist couldn't miss that irony. But the truth is, if you've got this rainy Columbus Day off anyway, you could do worse than to check out the Fenway Cultural District's "Opening Our Doors." All the museums in the area are free today, from the MFA to the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. (The reaction of one Bostonian: "The Gardner's free?! That... more ›

Sherman Alexie will read Thursday, June 7, at 6:00 PM at the Brattle Theatre. Tickets are $2 and available at Porter Square Books. Now - this event is sold out - but do what you gotta do. Novelist, poet, blogger, and serious NBA fan Sherman Alexie's latest book went straight to paperback. That's not a big deal, but it became a big deal to Alexie when Jenny Shank, a reviewer, wondered if the book went... more ›

The event is cheap at 2 bucks, and you can stay for a discounted screening of For Your Consideration.

His multiple achievements include his work voicing Ned Flanders,... more ›

Hot on the heels of his feature film debut in Jesus Camp (Bostonist's most enthusiastic movie pick in October), megapreacher Ted Haggard faces allegations of methamphetamine use and indiscretions with a male prostitute. Haggard was (until last night) president of the National Association of Evangelicals and senior pastor of New Life Church in Colorado Springs, where you can rent a "prayer closet" for $25 per night and apparently give new meaning to the phrase for... more ›

Fall seems to have set in, at least for now. the temperatures are dropping and people all over the metro have been forced to put their flip-flops away for some more sensible footwear. At least until it gets warm again in another week. Or so we hope. Music abounds again this week and we're listening. Tuesday, 9/12 Branford Marsalis Quartet Braggtown CD Release Concert Berklee alum Branford Marsalis created Cambridge-based (and Rounder distributed) Marsalis... more ›

We know we’ve ragged on Alex Beam before, but it’s good fun every now and again to take issue with columnists – it’s their purpose in print. If everyone agreed with them every time and they weren’t at all controversial they wouldn’t be adding the color we expect from their presence in the papers. But after McGrory searched for some kids to beat at their own game, and today when Beam derides school children for pushing for Basketball to be made the state sport (and everything else they’ve been a part of making the state this-or-that in past years), we feel it’s about time for the Globe columnists to start picking on someone their own size and leave those kids alone. more ›

Gambling is illegal in Massachusetts, but that's why God invented Connecticut. Jutting up out of the wilderness, in the middle of our dear neighbor to the south, are New England's twin bastions of fiscal irresponsibility: Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods. Both are stupendously flashy, alarmingly huge, and filled to bursting with restaurants, shops, and, yes, gambling. If you play your cards right, both can also provide you with a marvelous day trip for the cost of a movie and popcorn. If you really play your cards right, Bostonist would appreciate a kickback. more ›
