By now you're probably either planning your strategy for Saturday's WBOS EarthFest or figuring out how to avoid Storrow Drive like the plague over the course of the weekend. With predictions of weather in the low 80s and partly cloudy skies, it appears that the folks over at BOS have picked themselves a beaut of a day to devote to free music and environmental friendliness at the Hatch Shell.
We're thinking of format. No, not like the formatting changes that WERS just made to their programming. More like readability of the weekly picks.

So since there's no Providencist yet, Bostonist has to tell you about what's going on this Saturday in our fair neighboring city of fun and arts. Get yourself down to Providence because AS220, which is devoted to promoting and encouraging art from music to visuals, is taking over Empire Street and celebrating their 20th anniversary and recent renovations. It's all free, and there will be, in the words of their website:"food, games, music, dancing, art, spoken word, mind-reading, 7-foot blue bunnies, and things that come in 20's!" Reasons why you should go? Free sets from Ted Leo, Mary Timony, Lightning Bolt, and the ever-fantastic Alec K. Redfearn and The Eyesores. There's a Bizzare Bazaar, a Rock N' Roll Yard Sale and arty stuff from people like Scotty The Blue Bunny and The Dirt Palace. Hours are from 1PM to 1AM and the party's going to go strong. Heck yes to art spaces staying strong and thriving and if AS220 has to put a free Ted Leo set on to celebrate it, than who is Bostonist to argue? So many reasons to go down to Providence!
