No not to party- but to get your work out on! Oh yeahh people. With all of the newbe's in town (post September 1st move in rush) They have really hit it on the head with this one. They are offering a free guest pass to everyone tomorrow, and i'm sure are hoping to see an increase in membership- not that they need it considering they are pretty awesome. 

They have multiple locations so I don't want to hear any excuses! ...Especially from all of you super sexy guys out there. Yes you heard me right. I will be there pretending like i'm working out. Call me boy crazy but I don't care.

With Halloween right around the corner -or close enough people, quit giving me beef- it's time to re-embrace your Halloween spirit and make a night of spookiness!! 

"Travel back through history to witness the early days of Harvard Yard, learn about the city's ghastly tales of murder and uncover the truth behind some of Harvard Square's more infamous ghosts."

Who knew Harvard Square had ghosts? NOT ME! I may have to take a shot or two before this trip... or I might pass the stop on the train by accident. Yes, I am not one for ghosts but hey, I am definitely one for history so maybe I will see y'all on the tour. Or hiding under a blanket. I guess time will tell my friends, time will tell.

So if you are anything like me, when you hear music your shoulders just start shaking. Yes, I know, this sounds weird- BUT I'M BEING COMPLETELY HONEST! So basically what i'm getting at is that this is seriously my dream event in Boston. Run to the Beat presented by Zumix and Massport is Boston's most scenic 5K! And whatever you do, don't bring your IPOD because whether it's Jay-Z, ACDC, Britney, or the sound of everyone breathing way too hard, we all run to the beat. 

This is like unreal, wicked awesome too me. I'll never forget when the IPOD first came out and I didn't have one- I use to make my friend follow me in my car as I ran through my neighborhood, blaring my favorite songs. (I know, I was a crazy kid) Well everyone, it's my time to take a blast to the past, so you know I will be there! It's tomorrow so hurry and sign up- and don't forget your costume!! (Yes, they are being very Halloween festive in September but hey, who doesn't like costumes?)

Hello all you animal loving people, especially dog lovers! It's that time of year again for Dogfest! This year the festival will be held in a new location - Trum Field on Broadway in Somerville. This fundraiser is great because it helps raise money for many local animal-related charities. It's also great because 1. It's free (donations encouraged) and 2. There will be many exciting dog sports demonstrations and multiple "try it" rings so the attendees can try sports and games with their dogs.

"A major partner and key element in the success of this event is the City of Somerville's active participation and support of the event," said Dr. Adam Parker of Porter Square Veterinarian and president of the foundation.  "Our goal is to provide opportunities for families to enjoy healthy activities in the city with their dog and raise funds to support animals in need."

So grab the pups, dog, animal, man's best friend or whatever you call your favorite thing in the world and enjoy a day at Dogfest this Sunday!

On September 12, 2012 the Paul Revere Memorial Association have quite the presentation to show at Old South Meeting House in Downtown Crossing that touches some prime time moments in history. By the fall of 1814, the opposition of New England Federalists to the War of 1812 was so vehement that the Union appeared to be in danger. In October, Massachusetts invited the other New England states to send delegates to a meeting in Hartford, Connecticut, to draft constitutional amendments and take other measures to protect New England interests. Peter Drummey, Stephen T. Riley Librarian of the Massachusetts Historical Society, will discuss the Hartford Convention and the taint of secession and treason associated with it, and show how debate over the goals of the Convention has persisted for almost two centuries. AND IT'S FREE so you can't go wrong. Relive history class and make it a date!

If you want to know more feel free to call 617-523-2338.

Not many people expect to go to a hospital and encounter a 2,500-year-old mummy, but if you visit Massachusetts General Hospital, you will experience just that. Padihershef has been a resident of the Ether Dome since 1823 after he was given as a present by Dutch merchant Jacob Van Lennep.

"Between 1821 and 1868, more than 8,000 operations were performed in the Ether Dome. Today it is a teaching amphitheater and historical landmark. Visitors can explore the unique architecture and a small collection of artifacts, including an oil painting of the famous first surgery, an Egyptian mummy and early surgical tools."

So grab your peeps and head on over to this wicked crazy historical landmark. Make sure to wear your mummy gear! I'd hate for you to get mummified. BOO!!!!
