While most of the U.S. deals with poor weather, over in Egypt they’re dealing with poor living conditions. We talk to a couple of people with unique perspectives on the situation: Vijay Prashad gives us a political and historical view of these events, while Thea Price-Eckles gives us a personal view of the world outside her apartment in Cairo.
Bill and Jaz discuss the variousbenefitshappening this weekend (and point out which one might be of use to you in the upcoming zombie apocalypse, if that’s how you make your important financial decisions). Also, we wrap up the roundabout discussion, and Bill talks about zoning. But don’t worry: he swears, so it’s not boring.
Join Bill and Jaz at Look Park tomorrow for the 20th annual Transperformance. This year’s theme is “Body Parts.” See how we translate that into costume (don’t worry – there is no chance of us showing up as Slim Goodbody).
We run into some friends at Tuesday Market, including Bud Stockwell of Cornucopia Foods and Heavenly Chocolates (which just got a lovely write-up in The Boston Globe). Northampton Parking Czar Bill Letendre proves why he is not your typical government official. We talk to Ben James of Town Farm about his mission to make nutritious, locally grown food available to everyone. We also run into Haley Morgan from Commonwealth Center for Change, who has plans to unleash monsters on the the city…after she makes some earrings.
Winterpills guitarist Dennis Crommett has a new CD out. He’ll be celebrating its release with the usual cadre of of talented local musicians Friday night at The Iron Horse.
