Did you make it all the way through Obama's victory speech before releasing eight years of blue state rage in one jubilant outburst along with the four million other residents of greater Boston? Then look for a picture of yourself on That Hottness's illustrated map of Obama victory parties.

Here's a wrap-up from the local papers about the strangest and funniest episodes of the night: Boston Herald: "A Teletubby dressed in Red Sox gear and a man naked but for a giant red, plastic beer cup costume were part of a procession that included a large number of kids in BU and Northeastern gear." Harvard Crimson: Streakers galore on DeWolfe Street. Universal Hub Commenter Molly Clare: Speaking of Harvard, "'OH. MY. GAWD. The Red...

This is Massachusetts, right? But early this morning a 2.5 earthquake hit towns west of Boston, including Littleton and Ayer. Betsy Levinson at Wicked Local spoke with Littleton police dispatch Supervisor Tim Bemis, who described residents' response to the shaking: "It sounded like a plane crash on 495, or a truck had crashed into their home." WCVB reported that this is the second earthquake in the area this month and that a 1.8 quake affected...

A hot-pink color scheme. A dead ringer for Kate Bosworth on the cover. A first chapter that opens with lyrics from Loverboy's "Workin' for the Weekend." No kidding. Restless Virgins, a book on the Milton Academy sex scandal, just screams, "Bourgeois sex! Bourgeois sex! Yippee skippy!" The sex scandal in question didn't involve teachers (Exhibit A: Arlington's school system) but a 2005 incident in which one girl was - ahem - orally satisfying the sexual...

--Saturday night is supposed to be a time of fun and relaxation, but some people just don't get it. Last night, at a party on Bowdoin Street, someone fired a gun, and two people were injured. It could have been worse. One of the bullets entered another house, almost striking two boys inside.

Two teenagers were found shot outside. A party was going on at the time, which raises the question of what a 9-year-old was doing at the party and the even more important question of what guns were doing at the...

With the air outside dropping steadily this December, it’s hard to remember how cold it seemed last Wednesday. As the damp wind whipped through our city’s streets, Bostonist hustled down Landsdowne St. to get to the Avalon for a night with Iron and Wine and Calexico, and was greeted with a warm reception. At this point, midway through Calexico’s set, the temperature in the ballroom was considerably higher than outside, thanks in no small part...

Speaking of Anniversary Parties, Icarus in the South End is celebrating its 27th Anniversary this month. In honor of that, they are offering a fixed three course dinner for prix fixe of 27 dollars. Bostonist loves a bargain and $27 ain't cheap but it is an absolutely fabulous steal, most of thier entrees are regularly 30+ dollars. This deal ends with July, but there is still time to run over to 3 Appleton St. and take advantage of this deal, if you can get a seat.
