News and Notes

• Whew! In case no one noticed, took a few days off from blogging. My vacation mainly consisted of catching up with friends, going to see Jay Brannan in concert and watching (a lot of) cheesy Smallville episodes -- what a guilty pleasure! Hope everyone's having a nice summer, especially now that it actually feels like summer.
• I'll be going to this tomorrow:
  

  Just wanted to remind everyone that the Blogger Lunch event is tomorrow at 1:00pm at 185 Devonshire St., Suite 200.
  
  Several parking garages are located around the building, Zero Post Office Square and also at 60 State Street. The closest T stop is Downtown Crossing off the Orange line.
  All the Best,
  
  Michael Flaherty

• Also, don't forget to tune into LeftAhead tomorrow at 2:30 (or any day thereafter in mp3 format at Leftahead.com or itunes), as we have a special guest Ben Forman from MassINC, who specializes in research on Gateway Cities in Massachsuetts. You can catch some of his insightful posts (as well as others) at CW Unbound.
