PSA: Concerts galore on the Common

[liveintheville]

This sounds amazing! Thanks for sharing!

Awesome! I wish I lived closer so I could take advantage of this.

Was there a good crowd? I hope so! The weather probably isnt helping... While I know a ton of money has been invested I feel like it hasnt been well advertised outside of Boston. I live in Cambridge so just a few miles from downtown and feel like it hasnt gotten that much news coverage either....

Anyway I'm glad you enjoyed yourself, we are hoping to get down there tomorrow night.

I had no idea and H and I were in Boston today! I'm so bummed. Maybe we'll try to go on Sat, although, I bet it will be mobbed.   Thanks for the PSA!

I've been reading a lot about it, but it's been so darn hot!

That is so awesome, I'm sad I missed Augustana

We have sox/yanks tickets on Saturday afternoon, but I am hoping to make it to at least some of the Bosstones show. I love the Bosstones. Sadly, I've gone to every hometown throwdown show since they got back together.

I've been to more Hometown Throwdowns than I can count! One year my ex-bf's band opened for them and I got to hang backstage. It was pretty much the highlight of my year.

What is your exBF's band? (if you don't mind my asking, of course). Chances are I was there, and saw the opening band. We'd get there early so we could be on the rail. Yes, I am that person

As a side note, if you've ever seen the guy who dresses in all black in a ska suit with patches and the scally cap, he's the guy I usually go with. He's a pretty noticeable dude.

Big D and the Kids Table

Ha, seriously? I've seen them a few times.

Well, if you're on the common on Saturday night for the bosstones, I will likely be hanging out in the back, because I will probably have a sleeping baby attached to me. Say hi If the game gets out early enough, I plan on stopping by.

Geez I was right there today and had no clue (though did hear live music but just enjoyed it for just that).

That is a pretty great list. I might have to check out Buffalo Tom and the Mighty Mighty Bosstones on Saturday to relive some old teenage obsessions.

I was just telling H I want to go to this (and the Lemonheads, too), and he claims there's going to be thunderstorms all night.   We have dinner reservations at 6 in the South End, though, so I guess we'll go see what we can catch before & after if it's not miserable out.
