And here's a little blurb about it all:

Located in the historic Back Bay, at 100 Huntington Ave, Boston MA 02116,  Copley Place is Boston's most distinctive shopping destination with 75 fabulous stores including Neiman Marcus, Barneys New York, Tiffany & Co., Jimmy Choo, Intimacy, Tourneau, Salvatore Ferragamo, Porsche Design, David Yurman, A|X Armani Exchange, Louis Vuitton, Emporio Armani, Christian Dior, Burberry, and BCBGMAXAZRIA.  A dazzling mixed-use complex, Copley Place is a concept unlike any other in the Boston area. Located on a 9.5-acre site, the upscale center includes two levels of shopping, restaurants, four office buildings, 1,400 parking spaces and two hotels, The Westin Hotel and The Boston Marriott Copley Place.

If you haven't been made aware, than I am here to do it. If you're hankering for some culture for a night, and don't have the budget to hit up the BSO (although they have a great deal right now for tickets. If you're under the age of 40 you can get $20 ticekts!! Amazing!!)

Check out the New England Conservatory for their usually free student concerts. Everyone plays exceptionally amazing!! And it's a good night out. Hit that up, and than head to Symphony 8 for some food and drink.

For their concert list check out their site at: http://necmusic.edu/calendar_event/2010-9-28

There are a couple of concerts tomorrow evening, as well as throughout the week. Check it out when you have the time.

Got a thing for Thriller? Want to see a bunch of women dressed up in Bridal dresses dancing it? What else do you have to do today? :)

Head to Boston's Public Garden.

Do the Thriller dance for charity... Bring a boxed or canned food item for the Greater Boston Food Bank.
  
The event invites all women (mothers, daughters, sisters and best friends) to come together and dance for a good cause. Put on a wedding dress or wear any dress! And don't forget to bring your zombie make-up!
  
You do not have to wear a wedding dress or put makeup on... but if you do, you just might make the news... or see yourself on YouTube!

This is for Tuesday evening. I wanted to give you a little warning so you can purchase tickets...

Now vs. Now, comprised of an awe inspiring collection of young, multicultural musicians (including the highly acclaimed pianist, Jason Lindner, Mark Guiliana and Panayotis Andereou) will perform at The Beehive for the venue's first ever concert-seating event! Now vs. Now (Now Versus Now) is an exploratory new electro-groove trio raising eyebrows and garnering critical acclaim worldwide. It touches a nerve that excites youth, and beckons acute listeners through its visceral use of lush melodies, layered rhythms and evolving forms. Due to the overwhelming response to the group's popular performance at The Beehive last April 2010, The Beehive will pre-sell tickets to their first-ever concert-seating show. Regular guests for dinner at The Beehive will be seated throughout the venue while guests with pre-purchased tickets to the show will have a stage-side view in the performance area or the upper-level mezzanine for $12.00. To purchase your ticket please visit http://nowvsnow.eventbrite.com/

The trio will play songs from Lindner's new album "Now vs. Now," conveying a global message of peace through non-violence. Based out of New York City, the band is arguably the hippest and most exciting assembly in the New York City music scene.

Don't miss this exciting performance for one night only at The Beehive! For more information please call 617.423.0069 or visit www.beehiveboston.com.
