To-do list of sorts...

I've got some free time, now that I'm temping here at MIT. Today, I was on boston.com looking at their summer suggestions for under $25. That for me is perfect. I was thinking of a few things i wanted to do, and thought i would share them with you. This is also an open invitation to do these with me. We can set up a time and go forth!!

1. Made by Me Pottery in Harvard Square. Rumor has it you choose the piece you want to work on ($3.00 - $40.00) and than paint ($4.00 per half hour). They with throw it and when it's done it is dishwasher and microwave safe!

2. Boston Nature Conservatory. I've heard good things about this place, escpecially for picture taking. A $2.00 donation is asked.

3. South Street Diner. I've been before with Marian and John, but would like to go back. You know, for an actual midnight meal. It could be fun, especially since they have carafes of sangria.

4. Kayaking on the Charles. Seems quite exciting. They also have canoeing. A single kayak for one hour is $14, and for the whole day is $56. I think next year a season pass might be worth the $265.

5. Coolidge Theatre. I love this theatre. I feel as though i should invest more in local business. No more AMC, but more Coolidge and Somerville Theatres.

6. Shopping in the South End. Perhaps i don't need to shop, but I would like to spend more time in the South End. It's such a pretty area, and i hear there are good markets.

7. Boston Harbor Islands. Let's go camping! Or for a picnic, frisbee, hiking, etc... The boat ride (round trip) is only $10.

8. B-side lounge. They have fondue. Let's go. Now.

9. ICA has free Thursday night entry. Who says i can't skip bible study for a little culture right?

10. Free Friday Night Flicks at the Hatch Shell. Here's what is playing:

June 22 : Night at the Museum
July 6: Shrek (2) i believe.
July 13 : Over the Hedge (one of my personal favorite movies thanks to Patterson)
July 20: Harry Potter - no clue which one. Hopefully NOT the one with the spiders
July 27: Ice Age 2 (another one of Patterson & my favorites!)
August 3 : Back to the Future!
August 10: “The King of Rock and Roll” falls in love in the entertainment
capitol of the world (no clue what movie that is)

August 17: The Wizard of Oz
August 24: Happy Feet (REALLY want to see this!)
August 31: Charlotte's Web

11. Movies by Moonlight at the Boston Harbor Hotel. Here's what's playing:
June 22:Roman Holiday
June 29: Goodbye Mr. Chips
July 6:Vertigo
July 13: To Kill A Mockingbird
July20: The Philadelphia Story
July 27: Inherit The Wind
August 3rd: A Man For All Seasons
August 10: Invasion Of The Body Snatchers
August 17: The Best Years Of Our Lives
August 24: Citizen Kane
August 31:The Thin Man

12. Free Concert's in Copley Square. Really, i'm interested in just one. Matt Nathanson, whom i love is coming on August 16th. The only issue is that it's a Thursday. Boo!

13. Sam Adams Tour. Tours and tastings occur on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from noon to 3 p.m., Fridays from noon to 5:30 p.m., and Saturdays between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m., starting every half hour. Similarly, Harpoon Brewery hosts tastings Tuesday through Thursday at 4 p.m., Friday from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., and on Saturdays at noon, 2 p.m., and 4 p.m.
