For tickets to Judy! A Legendary Film Career http://www.eventbrite.com/e/judy-a-legendary-film-career-tickets-13209944299
About The Shows:
Friday, November 14th: A Garland for Judy! A Cabaret Celebration of the Judy Garland Songbook brings together four preeminent Boston vocalists -- Lynda D'Amour, Pamela Enders, Jinny Sagorin, and Randy Zinkus -- in company with musical director Tom LaMark in musical highlights from Judy's film, television, recording, radio, and concert careers. The show will be hosted by special guest performer John Fricke, the world's preeminent Garland and Wizard of Oz author/documentarian.
The evening's repertoire includes selections from such cherished films as Meet Me in St. Louis, Easter Parade, A Star is Born, Summer Stock, and Strike Up the Band; the duets Judy performed with everyone from Barbra Streisand to Mickey Rooney; and the one-woman concerts that thrilled audiences from Carnegie Hall to the Hollywood Bowl, from the Palace to the Palladium -- and the Boston Common and Boston Garden!
The songs will be interspersed with Fricke's behind-the-scenes anecdotes about Judy's life and professional careers. It's a must-see event for anyone who loves the ClassicAmerican Popular Songbook, the joyous pop culture of the 20th Century, and the magic of the woman who was unhesitatingly billed, reviewed, and endorsed as "the world's greatest entertainer."
Sunday, November 16th: Judy! A Legendary Film Career presents Emmy Award-winning producer/writer John Fricke in a review of highlights from Garland's historic motion picture work, tracing her on-screen performance arc from age seven as one of The Gumm Sisters in 1929 (The Big Revue) to 1963 and the London Palladium (I Could Go On Singing).
Audiences will enjoy the singing and dancing Judy, the comedic Judy, and the dramatic Judy in both familiar and unfamiliar sequences with such costars as Mickey Rooney, Fanny Brice (the original "Funny Girl"!), Gene Kelly, Spencer Tracy, and many others.
Emcee Fricke will share stories and quotes from many of those with whom she worked, gathered while researching his recent book, Judy/A Legendary Film Career, and while preparing for his appearances as a guest presenter at the Turner Classic Movies Festival in Los Angeles earlier this year and on the TCM cable network. It's a guided tour "from the inside" -- all in honor of the incomparably talented artist recently defined by TCM host Robert Osborne as "the all-around, most-talented person that's ever been in films to date."
A Special Reminder: Buy tickets to both the Friday and Sunday shows and receive the special discount price; details above!

PANOPTICON GALLERY PRIVATE PHOTOGRAPHY SALE - October 4, 2014
Panopticon Gallery
THE BOB ROGERS COLLECTION | A PRIVATE SALE
Saturday, October 4th from 2:00-5:00pm
Panopticon Gallery will be hosting a private photography sale on Saturday, October 4th for the late Bob Rogers.
Robert Rogers (September 5, 1944 – November 6, 2013), was one of New Hampshire’s preeminent photography collectors. He started collecting photographs when photography was not considered a serious art form back in the late 60’s. In 1967, Bob visited the home of renowned photographer Edward Steichen who helped him to appreciate photography as a great artist medium. Bob also came to know and befriend the prominent Boston photographer John Brooks who had a studio on Newbury Street.
Two years ago, the New Hampshire Institute of Art exhibited work from Bob’s collection, and soon thereafter, he donated some photographs to the Institute by noted photographers Dorothea Lange, Lotte Jacobi and Hope Zanes.
Proceeds from the event at Panopticon Gallery will benefit the Bob Rogers Estate, with some funds allocated to purchasing prints for the New Hampshire Institute of Art photography collection. To see a list of all of the images in the sale, Click Here.
To inquire about these photographs or attend this one day event, please R.S.V.P. by contacting the gallery at: jason@panopticongallery.com, or 781-718-5777.

FREE FALL HARVEST FESTIVAL CELEBRATION - October 5, 2014

Are there any musicians out there who would be interested in playing during this event? This tends to be a busy kid-friendly event- definitely not a quite "listening room". Unfortunately, we can't offer payment, just gratitude and a chance to hang-out and entertain your neighbors in a beautiful space. Let me know if you're interested. Contact Kim:

Creative Communities Exchange
See the 2013 CCX in action!
The CCX is a peer-to-peer exchange of the strategies used in successful creative economy initiatives around New England. This professional development event is for New England leaders who are engaged in creative economy and creative placemaking projects that leverage their local creative sector for the revitalization and growth of their broader community.

cultural nonprofits,
creative businesses,
economic development,
city planning,
philanthropy,
research,
government & more
CCX workshops have a specific 20:20:20 format to facilitate energetic exchange: 20 minutes of how-to presentation, 20 minutes of Q&A discussion, and 20 minutes of networking time.
The workshop leader application will open next month, so start spreading the word to your local creative economy initiative partners!
Arts Alive http://monadnockartsalive.org/ The hallmark of a strong creative economy is the collaboration between the arts sector and non-arts partners. CCX 2015 http://www.nefa.org/events/creative_communities_exchange_0 will take place in Keene, New Hampshire, a community that demonstrates strong cross-sector partnerships between the arts and local business, local government, the local colleges, the Monadnock region, and Arts Alive, this year's local host.

GLOBAL GRAINS COOKING CLASS - October 1, 2014
SAC presents a Nibble Cooking Class
Wednesday, Oct. 1, 6:30-9pm, Kitchen Inc, 201 Somerville Ave
Tix: $40 (includes lesson, full dinner and you'll go home with chickpea cookies!)
Global Grains
The interest in grains other than wheat is on the rise in the United States, but in other countries, people have celebrated what we call “alternative” grains for centuries. In this hands-on cooking class, our resident “Spice Girl” Roise Gill will demonstrate traditional and new ways to use two of these (gluten-free) global gastronomic delights: amaranth and gram, or chickpea, flour. Both are readily available in Union Square markets and used in many international Somerville homes to make porridge, soups, breads, sweets, and more. In class we will start by snacking on amaranth chikki (brittle); then we’ll use amaranth leaves in a aromatic vegetable curry; while the curry simmers, we’ll mix and roll out chilla, Indian chickpea flatbreads, to eat with dinner. We will also make amaranth honey cookies. Students will go home with Persian chickpea cookies (made pre-class by Rosie) called nan-e-nokhodchi.

HONK! FESTIVAL - October 10-12, 2014
FESTIVAL OF ACTIVIST STREET BANDS
NINTH ANNUAL
ROSTER OF BANDS
FROM ALL OVER
NOW SET
October 10 through 12, 2014
a wide variety of events scheduled
in Somerville, Cambridge, & Boston
ALL FREE AND OPEN TO ALL
There'll be dancing ... dancing in the streets ... a guaranteed ingredient at HONK!, this year to include a total of 27 bands (www.honkfest.org/2014-festival/bands-2014), all with social and/or political activism as part of their charters, as well as individual local players who are inevitably inspired to run home, grab their respective unplugged sound makers, and dive right under the HONK! community umbrella.
The "official" participants for this year's HONK! will be travelling from as far as Moscow, Paris, New Orleans, and Los Alamos, to as near as Somerville and Boston. The Second Line Social Aid and Pleasure Society Brass Band (www.secondlinebrassband.org), the band who got this world-wide phenomenon rolling in the first place, will once again serve as the hometown HONK! host band.
The overall HONK! schedule is available for perusal at www.honkfest.org/2014-festival/schedule-2014, with many familiar aspects, including the whimsical Lantern Parades and the spectacular "Reclaim the Streets for Horns, Bikes, and Feet" Parade, by now well loved by the many true-blue HONK! fans!
But there is also a new development this year that is important to note. HONK! 2014 will be hosting a "Day of Action" to be held specifically on Friday October 10th. The goal is to set the stage for a targeted weekend long partnership between HONK! bands and local community organizations. More info. on this new HONK! initiative can be www.honkfest.org/2014-festival/friday-day-of-action-2014/, with updates available as HONK! gets closer to the day.
Specific HONK! Festival performance schedules will be made available after October 3, 2014. For more background information on HONK!'s origins and purpose, visit www.honkfest.org/about/. HONK! is a rousing spectacle featuring social activist street bands from all over who come together to share their different approaches to merry making while also instigating positive change in their communities. Born in Somerville in 2006, similar HONK!s have since spread to Austin, Seattle, Detroit, Providence, and New York City, with the first ever HONK! OZ (www.honkfest.org.au) to take place in Australia in January 2015.
For almost a decade now, the original Somerville/Cambridge HONK! just keeps on rolling and expanding! If you’d like to jump on the bandwagon, here’s a link as to how: www.honkfest.org/help. To get psyched, the HONK! Kickstarter Campaign video, with an overview of this year's HONK!, can be found at www.honkfest.org/kickstarter. HONK! ON!

metaphorical process of creating unison and harmony while joining
your voice with others is a powerful way to release stress, uplift
the soul, transcend the challenges we face in our daily lives, and
energize our beings. Past Art of Group Singing classes have
been fun, depthful, and joyous experiences for those of us singing
in the circle together, full of beautiful music, expansive spirit,
communal sensitivity, and openhearted expression.
In our music-making together, we will create mesmerizing harmonies
through the singing of rounds, chants, and part music, as well as learn
songs sung by women in different parts of the world. We'll bring
increased awareness to relaxed, grounded breathing, easeful vocal
production and active listening. I invite you to come experience the
artful creation of group sound and spirit, and I look forward to singing
with many of you this fall!

Her paper discusses the history of artist housing laws, the prevalent use of artists to promote gentrification, and the future of artist live/work spaces. Her paper focuses largely upon artists who reside in New York City and discussed notable cases and artist incentive programs throughout the country. Specifically her paper examines the history of rent control and its impact on the artist community,) New York City’s artist zoned housing, and New York City’s “Loft Laws.” Her paper also describes the effect artists have on gentrification, communities where artists have contributed to gentrification, and current initiatives aimed at increasing artist populations.

SOMERVILLE SHERMAN CAFE CLOSING - September 14, 2014
So there I was having a scone at Sherman's...like I have done on and off for a decade, when I hear someone say" Hey, I hear you are closing." I asked the counterman, and he said today--Sunday Sept 14, was the last day of the Sherman Cafe. I guess it wasn't making money--and the owner decided to close it. They are going to morph into a some kind of ice cream shop--that will probably fit the high end image the hip and new square will affect in the coming months and years. It was a great cafe-- I have interviewed many Somerville and national writers and artists there like Hugh Fox, Ethan Gilsdorf, Afaa Michael Weaver, too many to name. I also reveled in their oatmeal/cherry scone...it made rare appearances as of late. I also composed many a poem there. This morning I was having breakfast with my old friend Jennifer Matthews--who is relocating to another part of the state, and who I just finished a music,poetry collaboration with. So parting is such sweet/sorrow.. Here is a poem I wrote at the said cafe some years ago--hope you enjoy;

SOMERVILLE TV LIVE POETRY READING - September 16, 2014
SEE IT LIVE at http://www.scatvsomerville.org
Poet Krikor Der Hohannesian Sept 16, 2014 5PM ( Click on for site)
Krikor Der Hohannesian lives in Medford, MA. His poems have appeared in many literary journals including The South Carolina Review, Atlanta Review, Comstock Review, Peregrine and Connecticut Review. His first chapbook, “Ghosts and Whispers”, was published by Finishing Line Press (2010) and was nominated for the Pen New England and Mass Book Awards. A second chapbook, “Refuge in the Shadows”, has just been released (Cervena Barva Press). He can be contacted at krikorndh@verizon.net for anyone wishing to order copies ($10 including shipping and postage).
"In Krikor Der Hohannesian's poetry, we hear things we might not be able to hear otherwise. "A man is down" signals the wind and rain coming in from the east, and the poet listens. In another poem a wife is keening, a child is crying, and the poet listens, listens with all his imagination and his heart. We hear colonial whispers emanating from the Granary Burial Ground. We hear the particular beauty of the names of the winds in many languages, and in another poem we hear the equally specific sadness of parents grieving a lost child. We hear final words, and words that should have been said, and we hear in several of these poems the long, agonized memory traces of the Armenian genocide. In all there is a deeply empathic imagination at work, and these poems give the poet and the reader alike a place of refuge, a place in the shadows in which to hold onto what is so profoundly dear and filled with meaning." -Fred Marchant, Author of The Looking House

SOMERVILLE STAGED PLAY READING - October 2, 2014
Theatre@First presents a staged reading double feature! Two exciting plays by women, about women.
Vivat Regina
written and directed by Phoebe Roberts
In this sequel to Victorian mystery caper, Mrs. Hawking, Mary Stone is doing her best learn the trade of her mistress's work as a covert agent for women victimized by Victorian society. Mrs. Hawking's nephew Nathaniel, too, struggles to find what contribution he can make to his aunt's work, and neither one seems to be serving to their mentor's satisfaction. But when a mysterious lady under a false name comes to them with a next-to-impossible mission, Mrs. Hawking and her assistants must bring together all their varied strengths and capabilities in order to see that justice is done. Vivat Regina is the second in the Mrs. Hawking series, but does not require knowledge of the previous installment to be followed or enjoyed.
Overtones
written by Alice Gerstenberg
directed by Mary Parker
Overtones tells the story of two women having tea. On the surface, their conversation is pleasant but loaded, with each woman hoping to take something precious from the other. Not content to settle for subtext, playwright Alice Gerstenberg employs two extra actresses to portray each woman's hidden desires. This 1915 play is not only one of the earliest examples of split protagonists, but one of the earliest popular experimental plays by an American woman.
Performance
ONE NIGHT ONLY! Thursday, October 2, 2014 at 8pm
Bare Bones 15: Vivat Regina with Overtones will be presented at Unity Somerville, 6 William Street, Somerville, MA 02144
Suggested Donation $5 - General Admission - No reservations required

This year will feature a new entry, East Somerville's recently opened La Brasa and their wood-fired eats.

SOMERVILLE YOUTH ART PROGRAM - September 23, 2014
Arts at the Armory is launching a free arts education project Youth Arts Arise, which offers multi-disciplinary artistic workshops after school and during the summer for youth ages 11-14.
Our fall 2014 semester will run October 7th- December 16th. Local artist instructors will lead workshops in a wide range of disciplines, including both visual and performing arts. Workshops are currently scheduled for every Tuesday, 3:30-5:30 pm, and we hope to add Monday workshops soon.
Workshop themes will encourage self-exploration through investigation of the participants' individual and cultural identity as well as exploring other cultures, traditions, and diversity.
Do you know a student who would like to participate? The program is free, but advance registration is required. Registration forms are available on our website (direct link: http://www.artsatthearmory.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Youth-Arts-Arise-Registration.docx), or in our office at 191 Highland Ave. Registrations are due by September 23rd, but please contact the office if the deadline has passed; we may still have spaces available.
Are you an artist who'd like to teach in the program? We're looking for expressions of interest, and will be scheduling workshops over the next couple of months for the fall, winter and spring semesters. (Stipends are available.)
Questions?
Contact Bridget Galway by email at education@artsatthearmory.org.

SOMERVILLE ARTIST OF THE MONTH - September 2014
The Somerville Arts Council is pleased to announce James Weinberg as the September Artist of the Month
Whether it is a mural under a bridge, or a book jacket, a band poster, an invitation, it is easy to recognize James Weinberg's distinct character. A designer, illustrator and artist, Weinberg unites the tenacious and bold with whimsy, pulling an audience towards the work and then enchanting that audience to stay with it.
Can you give a brief overview of what you do?
I work in silkscreen printing on paper and have a studio at Miller Street in Somerville. My work tends to be graphic and illustrative and use a lot of typography and textures.
Are there some past projects you’d like to mention in more detail?
I designed a mural commissioned for Assembly Row that is 300 feet wide below the Lombardi Bridge. Working at that scale was new for me and I like the idea of having art be part of the Somerville landscape.

BRICKBOTTOM GALLERY EXHIBITION - September 7 - October 18, 2014
ANXIETY and RELIEF in the 21st CENTURY, curated by Joanne Desmond and Pauline Lim
Artists: Joanne Desmond, David E. Fallon, Joerg Fraske, Kathryn Geismar, Amy Hitchcock, Asia Kepka, Louise Kohrman, Gaye Korbet, Pauline Lim, Jackie Reeves, Anne Strout, Vicky Tomayko, Paul Weiner.
September 7 - October 18, Opening Reception, Sunday, September 7, 4-6pm
There is no denying that the pace of life is getting faster, the focus of truth is scattered wider and wider, news sources are no longer reliable, and debunking once-sacred beliefs has become the recreational activity of anyone with an internet connection. Yesterday's "super-food" is today's toxin. Even the planet is protesting as we spiral toward the inevitable. It's no wonder that anxiety levels are skyrocketing. How do we cope? Artists, as society's canaries in the coalmine, digest and reflect what is happening in the world around them. Do they create in reaction to anxiety? Are they inspired by anxiety? Does the act of creation bring relief? Art making can be a therapeutic avenue by which we artist are able, if we choose, to transform the anxiety into a form of relief. The word "art" itself provides us a very useful acronym: Acess, Release, Transform. How do you transform anxiety into relief???

Aggie needs a new forever home
Aggie has found a new Forever Home!
Click the image to enlarge
From: "Reed C"
Friends,
I write with hopes that you can help me find a new home for Aggie, the 3 year-old beagle/ (coonhound?) mix that I have been fostering now for eight months. Pictures attached!
As most of you know, I adopted Aggie for my father while home in Mississippi. When my dad rejected her, I tried to return her to the shelter only to find that they had an 80% kill rate. So I brought her to Boston, where the drama began.
Aggie has had a hard time since arriving here. It turns out she had heart worms, which required 16 weeks of treatment while confined to a kennel. She then went into heat (what an adventure- so hot to trot!). She also had some behavioral problems and has undergone a lot of training in order to address them.
She's ready! Can you help me get her straight from my home to a new home? I am determined that she should never feel abandoned again, so I would hate to have to relinquish her to a shelter. Challenges:
* Aggie would be happiest in the country or in a house with a yard. While her training has taken her a long way, city streets make her anxious and she will unpredictably lunge at passersby.
* She likes to be part of a pack. Other dogs in the home would be a plus. I am not sure how she feels about cats.
* Aggie gets along well with people young and old under most circumstances. However, she still has a reactive streak. In new situations (after a car ride, for example, to an unfamiliar place), she should be kept on a short leash and minded carefully.
Aggie is spayed, house trained and kennel trained. She is playful and affectionate. She does't bark that much- only if she sees something marvelous (a rabbit!). If left home alone, she will bark for five minutes in protest.
Please spread the word far and wide, in search of an experienced dog owner with a soft spot for beagles/ hounds! Potential owners should fee free to contact me- Reed Cochran- at this email address: or by phone (617) .

JIMMY TINGLE EVENTS And ENDORSEMENTS - September 2014
Friends,
A few of my friends and political colleagues are on the Ballot this Tuesday, September 9th, and I wanted to give you my "Two Cents." In Massachusetts we are blessed with many great and accomplished men and women running for public office, and we're extremely lucky to live in a state with such a wealth of talent. Not to diminish any other candidates, but here are some of my choices for the September 9th Primary. Please vote your conscience, but this is my take.
Leland Cheung for LT Governor: I had a lot of fun making this video for Leland Cheung, who I first met while attending the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard.
I was really impressed with him right from the beginning. Leland was getting a Masters in Public Administration from The Harvard Kennedy School and a Masters in Business Administration from MIT and running for Cambridge City Council all at the same time.
I thought I was a workaholic!!!
Not only did he graduate from both programs with flying colors, but he also won election to the Cambridge City Council, where he has served with distinction and is now in his third term. Leland was the No. 1 vote-getter in the 2013 election, and on September 4th, he was endorsed by The Boston Globe for Lieutenant Governor.
Steve Grossman for Governor: I first met Steve in the first few weeks of a life-changing entrepreneurial adventure called Jimmy Tingle's OFF BROADWAY Theater in Davis Square, Somerville.
Steve was running his family business, Mass Envelope, in Somerville and was kind enough to create and execute a mass mailing FREE OF CHARGE to help jump start our theater.
He and his wife, Barbara, are great people and huge supporters of the arts, and Steve brings a unique combination of business, government and political experience to the table.
When I was performing "Jimmy Tingle for President-The Funniest Campaign in History," Steve and Barbara not only attended the show, but he even made a video endorsing me to "lead the nation" on the "Humor for Humanity" ticket.
One good endorsement deserves another, and so it with great pleasure and admiration that I endorse Steve Grossman for Governor! This Week The Boston Globe Agreed!!!
I just hope if Steve's elected he puts Don Berwick in charge of Massachusetts Healthcare.
Warren Tolman for Attorney General: Warren and I go way back to the Clean Elections battles of the late 1990's and early 2000's. He's been a great champion of fairness, justice, progressive values and equality.
Shortly after 9/11 we led a march from the Lexington Green to the Boston Common to advocate for funding for the Clean Elections ballot initiative, which passed with 66% of the vote but was being stymied by House Leadership. He was endorsed this week by Governor Deval Patrick.
MIchael Sullivan for Middlesex County DA: Mike has been a very effective public servant, Cambridge City Councilor and Mayor and has been a family friend going back three generations. He and his family have been involved in local and state politics going back to the 1940's, and I have the confidence in him to continue serving in the fine tradition of his relatives, including his late father, Cambridge Mayor and City Councilor Walter Sullivan, who passed away this August.
Re-Elect State Representative Marjorie Decker of the 25th Middlesex District (Cambridge).
I know Marjorie from the neighborhood going back 30 years, and she has been a tireless worker for the public good as a Cambridge City Councilor and State Rep. She also encouraged me to check out the Kennedy School, where she is also a graduate.
Marjorie is endorsed by NOW, Planned Parenthood, Sierra Club, Clean Water Action, AFL-CIO, Mass Nurses Association and Mass Equality, to name a few.
I am having a lot of Fun & Satisfaction Raising Spirits, Funds and Awareness for Non-Profits and Good Causes, so let us know if you would like to create a great win/win/win event together. Visit our Bookings Page here.
See you soon I hope and please follow me on twitter @jimmytingle
If the Pope can follow me so can you!
I'll follow you back and we'll take over the World!
Jimmy

He and his family have been involved in local and state politics going back to the 1940's, and I have the confidence in him to continue serving in the fine tradition of his relatives, including his late father, Cambridge Mayor and City Councilor Walter Sullivan, who passed away this August.
Re-Elect State Representative Marjorie Decker of the 25th Middlesex District (Cambridge).
I know Marjorie from the neighborhood going back 30 years, and she has been a tireless worker for the public good as a Cambridge City Councilor and State Rep. She also encouraged me to check out the Kennedy School, where she is also a graduate.
Marjorie is endorsed by NOW, Planned Parenthood, Sierra Club, Clean Water Action, AFL-CIO, Mass Nurses Association and Mass Equality, to name a few.
I am having a lot of Fun & Satisfaction Raising Spirits, Funds and Awareness for Non-Profits and Good Causes, so let us know if you would like to create a great win/win/win event together. Visit our Bookings Page here.
See you soon I hope and please follow me on twitter @jimmytingle
If the Pope can follow me so can you!
I'll follow you back and we'll take over the World!
