This is the weekend of "The Game," which guarantees that the bars of Cambridge will be clogged with "Teh Douche." Bostonist is researching the thematically-correct home-drinking alternatives:

Berklee and Essence have teamed up again this year to bring the best young talent out to compete in the Hip Hop Songwriting Contest. If you are, or know, an eligible teen (unsigned and between 15 and 18) the time is nigh. Deadline for submission is March 9. It's all for a good cause, helping to balance the message in hip hop music and giving young songwriters a stage and training, not to mention...
Choreography, audience participation, and live musical performances abound: Saturday 11/18 Buffy the Vampire Slayer Sing-A-Long Based on the musical television episode "Once More, With Feeling" and now a hallowed national tradition, the Buffy Sing-A-Long was born in Brookline, and its doula was former Coolidge Corner Theatre program director Clinton McClung, who's back to host this event at his old haunt.

This evening, Bostonist will gather around the family television set with the Mrs. and the Toddler, hot tea by our sides and our trusty Bible close at hand, to listen to the warm words of wisdom bestowed upon us by our dear, gentle leader. And then we'll hit the sauce. Yes, tonight President Bush does his annual star turn, delivering the State of the Union address to Congress. Events like this can be sobering, especially for lefties like Bostonist in corners of the country forgotten by the party in power. So we turn to drink.
You may or may not already notice, but within the next 24 hours there will be a great outpouring of buses and cars from Harvard Square and surrounding areas. This weekend marks the big ivy league match-up in football between Harvard and Yale which dates back to 1875, and this year Yale is hosting.
Bostonist knows that elsewhere in the country, IKEA is just another store where you can buy home furnishings in a really big warehouse. Yet when the state of Massachusetts doesn’t even have one of these mammoth retailers, it is big news that one is slated to open this fall in Stoughton. The Swedish corporation recently opened a store in New Haven, CT, and has finally broken into the Massachusetts market with a 346,000 square-foot store to open on Route 24. (Work has also begun on a Somerville store in Assembly Square Mall after years of negotiations.) Some may remember the broken promises of opening stores in years past, when all plans were ultimately abandoned for one reason or another. IKEA is looking to hire 500 employees for its new store and is holding interviews on August 13 in Braintree. Bostonist doesn’t assume you have to know much about Swedish retail, but it might help if you can work a screwdriver. (If you have ever purchased any of the IKEA furniture, you, along with Bostonist, know that the low price=assembly required.)
