Whether it's taking a "Sliding Doors" style look at the different timelines when the wrong person gets her hands on different types of alcohol, or shining a lens on the one-night stand, "Bye, Bye, Liver" is part comedy, part drinking game and all fun. Showing every Friday at 8pm through September!<br /><br /><div><div><i><i>Bye Bye Liver</i>&nbsp;is a fun, fast-paced comedic romp that takes a&nbsp;satirical look at the pratfalls and pitfalls of the drinking culture. Whether it's the girl we all&nbsp;know that should never, ever drink liquor or a terrifying (yet enlightening) look into the Ladies Room at the club, every drinking danger is captured in hilarious detail.&nbsp;And it's all interspersed with interactive social games with the audience, such as Never Have I Ever and Would You Rather!</i></div><div><i>You'll not find a better time with your clothes on.

With an awesome throwback lineup featuring Twin Berlin, Eve 6, Switchfoot, Spin Doctors, and Third Eye Blind, the packed crowd was singing along to their greatest hits. One particularly touching moment was when Switchfoot played "Sabotage" in honor of MCA. And all along the Esplanade, there were tons of tents handing out free swag; personal highlights were Whole Foods and Chipotle. As with every other year I've gone, this year's Earthfest was a great time and a huge success, definitely worth checking out next year! </i><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-r_693czrK9k/T7mYTLrOIHI/AAAAAAAAFhY/bgAhM1esan0/s1600/2012-05-19+13.45.51.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-r_693czrK9k/T7mYTLrOIHI/AAAAAAAAFhY/bgAhM1esan0/s400/2012-05-19+13.45.51.jpg" width="400" /></a><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Ihkdc_7v5Ic/T7mYZ9EThgI/AAAAAAAAFhw/gZds6fVMrUI/s1600/2012-05-19+16.07.23.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Ihkdc_7v5Ic/T7mYZ9EThgI/AAAAAAAAFhw/gZds6fVMrUI/s400/2012-05-19+16.07.23.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-KrV5NVW6mx8/T7mYUY_ueMI/AAAAAAAAFho/mmKhq4j9k98/s1600/2012-05-19+14.04.00-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-KrV5NVW6mx8/T7mYUY_ueMI/AAAAAAAAFho/mmKhq4j9k98/s400/2012-05-19+14.04.00-1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Know of Any Interesting Boston News or Events That You'd Like to Share?

Our need for support is greater now than ever before. Over the past few years, with the down economy, we have seen a dramatic increase in the number of individuals and families in need of food assistance. The financial support we receive from the Brookline Food Festival helps us ensure that Brookline residents have food in their homes and don’t go hungry.”&nbsp; In 2011, the event successfully raised $6,800 for the Brookline Food Pantry. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';

I drink a lot at hotel bars, but never really stayed in them.&nbsp; That changed last week.&nbsp; I stayed at my very first Boston hotel (for a work thing) and it happened to be the Taj and thought it was quite nice.<br /><br />I'm not going to review it, that's what tripadvisor and hotels.com are for, but here are a few thoughts and a few pics of my room.&nbsp; Oh and I spoke to the concierge to get some of his suggestions for various scenarios, I think he did a good job. &nbsp; &nbsp; <br /><br /><b>Pros:</b><br /><br />Great location on the edge of Newbury &amp; the Public Garden<br />Classically old-school in a nice way<br />Walking distance to some of my favorite spots (Parish Cafe for beer, Charlie's Sandwich Shop for turkey hash, Legal's for some chowder)<br />Staff was very nice and accommodating<br />Quiet bar downstairs for a scotch and a chat.<br />Molton Browne stuff in the bathroom&nbsp; <br /><br /><b>Cons:</b><br /><br />My "Newbury Facing" room was a little noisy due to the construction outside.<br />$10 for internet access?!?&nbsp; <br />At 7am the next morning, the guy in the room next door got a phone call.&nbsp; I was able to hear the conversation in it's entirety.<br /><br /><b>Concierge Suggestions:</b><br /><br />Business Dinner w/ Clients:&nbsp; Mistral<br />Solo Dinner Where I Could Sit at the Bar, Eat, and Not Look Like a Loser:&nbsp; Davio's<br />Place to Take Clients for a Drink:&nbsp; Top of the Hub<br />Best Sushi in the City:&nbsp; Oishii Boston<br /><br />Overall, I enjoyed my stay at the Taj, I would stay there again given the chance.&nbsp; I don't have any frame of reference in terms of other Boston hotels, but in comparing it to other hotels I've stayed at for work (in other cities), it's up there among the better ones.&nbsp; I tend to sleep late and wake up early, so the noise issues didn't actually affect me, but I could see how it could bother others. <br /><br />On to the pics:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
