Princeton Station in Chelmsford has some now and again. In fact, they are having Steve Sweeney (now there's some old-school Bahstan comedy) in January. The new Nashua Center for the Arts opens in April and I'm hopeful we'll start getting something there. Finally, if you want to drive a bit, the Chevalier Theater in Medford square gets some acts and its much easier than going to downtown Boston. You can park for free and walk to a few places for dinner beforehand.

Lobstah, but you might want to overnight it. Your choice.

Not exactly close, but if you end up in Merrimack, NH at the outlet stores, check out Sweetz & More https://www.premiumoutlets.com/outlet/merrimack/stores/sweets-more . Looks like there is one in Tilton, NH too, but the overall web presence itsn't great.

If you find yourself going up route 3 to NH, Maximilians Billiard (bar , pizza, etc) in Tyngsboro converted a front area to a pinball room a while ago. Maybe 10 nice machines.

MA is finally (mostly? all?) done and there was much complaining.

I haven't seen those guys since college when they were driving around Boston in a white van. Glad to see they still have that entrepreneurial spirit.

timing? its not even the last day of the month yet!

you should not do anything involving the tension in those springs. too much force to mess with.

Sorry I don't have work, but I have to ask - old school thumb out on the side of the road hitchhiker? I can't say I've seen anyone do that in years. Because serial killers and general safety and all.

Any tales to tell?
