| Boston-Area Educators for Social Justice Conference |
[15 May 2011|11:25pm] |
Saturday, May 21, 2011, 10:00 AM-5:00 PM
The Curley School, 493 Centre Street, Jamaica Plain, MA
The conference, which is free, will convene teachers, K-12 students, graduate students, educators and education activists to discuss issues facing our schools and communities, and to share techniques & curriculum that address social justice issues in and beyond our classrooms. At a time when education policy and debate is moving fast, and as curriculum becomes more narrow in focus, proponents of social justice education need to cultivate a strong voice.

[10 Apr 2010|11:17pm] |
So here's the deal: I just moved into an awesome 3-bedroom apartment, subletting from April 1-Aug 31. My roommates are fantastic, but already have plans to move out in Sept. I want to renew the lease from Sept 2010-Sept 2011, but I need two people to share it with! And I need to find these two fine folks ASAP, because they've already started showing the place.
About the apartment:
*Bedroom #1 ($650) is big enough for a queen bed and plenty of furniture, with a roomy closet.
*Bedroom #2 ($550) is small but also has a big closet. It's big enough for a twin bed (my roommate has hers lofted to fit more furniture) and desk.

mood |

With the weather what it is, one is inclined to stay inside with a cup of tea and a book. I have read most of my current collection and am looking to trade some of it for new. Anyone have any good recommendations for a decent used book store in the area? Mostly paperbacks and regular reading type books. No texts or valuable antiques.
Thanks and hopefully the next post won't be able getting everyone together to build an ark!

| Halloween Matinee! (Featuring The Murder as White Zombie) |
[26 Oct 2009|03:40pm] |
Hey all,
Glad to see a few faces trying to breathe some new life into this community! I'm your friendly next door neighbor in good old mission_hill.
Anyway, if you're looking for something to do on Halloween look no further! The days are getting shorter, the nights are getting longer, the leaves are falling, and there is a slight chill in the air. What does it all mean? That Halloween is right around the corner, and with that bring a slew of shows featuring your favorite bands covering your favorite bands!
( Flyer Behind the Cut )
This year will be no exception, and I can say in all honesty that this may just be the most highly anticipated event of the year.
On the afternoon of All Hallows Eve, The Murder will perform as White Zombie at The Midway Cafe, 3496 Washington St, Jamaica Plain! This won't be just another cover set, but a full on production, complete with lights, sound, special effects and more!
Providing support will be Fulton Reed (AKA The Old Edison), performing as Slapshot and other Boston bands (In their own unique acoustic style), The Designer Drugs as Bikini Kill and local legend Squallie Greenthumb as Jack White, of The White Stripes and The Raconteurs.
The show is a matinee, with doors opening at 3:00pm, so there'll be plenty of time to Trick or Treat and party afterwards. Bring your little ghoul or goblin along too, as it is all ages!
The cover is $8, but wear a costume and only pay $5! (Sorry kids, being a "punk rocker" doesn't count as a costume)
Last but not least, there will be Free Candy and other treats for you to enjoy. This will be one of the defining moments of the year, and you don't want to be left out when everyone is talking about it after the fact!
If you're on Facebook, why not check out the event page and RSVP!
See you there, and have a Happy Halloween!

Is this thing on?!
Greetings? I just moved to JP this summer and am trying to get more connected to the community, events, cool stores and restaurants, etc. I read both b0st0n and davis_square and was happy to find this comm, but it doesn't seem to be as active so I thought I'd make a post to shake out the spider webs and see if anyone knows of anything fun going on next week for Halloween. Have a good one!

appearing at The Amazon Slam in Cambridge, but now is a regular at
Gender Crash and Got Poetry Live in Providence, RI. Mel's poetry has
been published four times and some is available at
www.myspace.com/bluecitypoet. You can also find Mel's column "News
Muse" and other articles monthly in Rhode Island's Options Magazine or

haiku, to simple word sketches, to detail laden confessional style
pieces. Mel is known for drawing raw, honest, intricate portraits of
life, both from personal and outside experiences. Familiar topics of
inspiration are love, sex, gender, addiction, loss, mortality, nature
and Paris. Mel's first chapbook is in the works and will have a
limited edition printing including Mel's photography. In addition to
being a photographer and poet, Mel is an attorney in Massachusetts
specializing in low-come and underrepresented groups. Mel is currently
developing a practice that focuses on serving the low and middle
income queer, trans, and elder communities. Mel strives to infuse all
artistic endeavors with a potpourri of life experiences, as well as a
unique and eclectic perspective. Ultimately, Mel hopes the work
reflects the paradoxically inherent variety, simplicity, complexity
and beauty of daily existence.

Howdy, jamaicaplain. Possible future resident here.
I'm checking out a one-bedroom on Washington Street near Egleston Square, and if I take it I'll be paying gas and electric. Is there anyone in that part of town who might be able to help me out with an estimate on the total bill, or knows what company(s) services the area? The NSTAR website says they only provide electric, although I have a pretty good idea as to how much I spend on that living in a similar situation in Roxbury.
Thanks!

| Looking for a roommate. |
[23 Apr 2008|01:15pm] |
I am a 37 year old professional female who is looking for a clean, open-minded, non-smoking roommate to share an apartment in Jamaica Plain - it's a 3 bedroom, 1 bath, with the smallest bedroom being used as a store room for your extra stuff. Of course, if you're a collector of stuff, there is a storage facility not far away.
Your bedroom has plenty of windows - making it bright and sunny. If you are not a clothes horse, the 2 closets will hold what you have. And to make sure it all stays clean, there is a laundromat right around the corner. We will share a large eat-in kitchen with a small pantry and a back porch usable for relaxing, some planter/pot gardening, and light entertaining. I work during the day and more likely than not, am home at night. Although, I do sometimes participate in local community theatre, I'm not a party animal, but do enjoy visiting with my friends.
No pets please. My kitty considers herself the queen of this particular castle and doesn't get along with other animals.
Parking is available, but the 39 bus line is right around the corner and it's only a ten minute walk to Forest Hills train station.
Rent is $550 per month plus half of the gas, electric, and high-speed Internet. I am offering the first six months of high-speed Internet for free. The landlord - a good one - requires first, last, and security deposit.
If you're looking for a quiet place, and don't mind a finicky cat, contact me for a showing. My e-mail is AndreaStabler@yahoo.com.

[04 Mar 2008|07:01pm] |
Hey all--
I have a slightly used link pass for the month of March. I'm willing to part with it for $45 OBO.
Anyone interested?
I'll even throw in the CharlieCard for free. :D
|
|
| Room available immediately. |
[28 Feb 2008|05:10pm] |
I'm looking for someone to share an apartment in JP. The building is just around the corner from the 39 bus line and a 10 minute walk from the Forest Hills station.
The room is a large room right off the kitchen. There are several windows, making it bright and sunny, as well as two closets. The kitchen is a large eat-in kitchen with a small pantry. There is a large back porch that I do use during warm weather. I do quite a bit of planter and pot gardening out there during the spring and the summer as well as using it for a place to sit and relax. There is a laundromat right around the corner.
There is also a small store room and the building is not far from a storage facility on Washington Ave.
Parking is available.
I am a 36 year old professional female who is looking for a clean, open-minded, non-smoking roommate.., preferably female. I'm not one who throws parties and while I do attend them, they are few and far beween. I work during the day and more likely than not, am home at night. Although, I do sometimes participate in local community theatre.
No pets, please. I have one cat and having another animal around would be a bad idea as mine doesn't really like other animals.
Rent is $550 per month, plus half of the utilities. (Gas, electric, high-speed internet.) First, last, and security will be required.
Please contact me if you have any questions or would like to set up a time to look at the room. E-mail address is: room4rent1703@yahoo.com
