Bostonist Pick: Ballermore Has Arrived .::. Shake 'Em Down @ Milky Way (Thurs) Bostonist has some good news for you: this is going to be an easy weekend on the liver. The bad news is that your two days of drinking, dancing and staying up into the wee New England-established hours begins tonight.

You know those TGIFriday's commercials, where they portray the hard workers of today sitting at a round table and laughing, drinking, and eating inexpensive but tasty comfort foods to celebrate the end of another work week?

This Friday Flashback is a music video flashback to Pete Needs a Friend off Universal, one of Bim Skala Bim's later released videos. Watch real close. At the 45 second mark the Bim Skala Bim guys dodge a truck as they're running down Lansdowne. It could very well be the Equipment Truck.

Given Bostonist's recent interest in graffiti and street art, as well as a few connections we have to a certain street art site, there was no way to avoid letting our readers know about SPOTHUNTERS, the newest installation to open at the New Art Center in Newton.
