Thanksgiving Eve at Florian Hall…

Thanksgiving Eve at Florian Hall…

This is by far one of the biggest parties in Dot every year. Thomas Park will be playing and it’s a great opportunity to catch up with old friends. Go here to get your tickets now.

You can also buy them at the door but they will probably be a few bucks more.

I so want to throw a keg party on the 3rd floor of a triple decker right now….bring on Turkey Day!!

Windshield wiper advice…

Would you swim in the Charles for 10 bucks?

Would you swim in the Charles for 10 bucks?

How about in 1988?

This show ran on channel 23 which was Cablevision (pre Comcast) in Boston….I actually remember watching this with my pops. I think it’s still a challenge to get people to swim in the Charles because of the stigma attached to it…..although I think the Neponset river is more of a challenge.

This was a funny show and I’m pretty sure Mike McDonald is still doing stand up around Boston to this day.
