Today is No Pants Day on the T. I'm renting a Zipcar and going food shopping. #nopantsboston

It's pouring rain out today and it's No Pants Day on the T. I plan on renting a Zipcar and doing a big food shopping trip. I will be wearing pants. Try to stay dry if you do participate. Maybe bring a towel to sit on and dry off with.

Here's a video by James Cobalt of last years ride in Boston.


The ride starts at 2 pm and the pants free after party is at McGreevy's at 3:30. You can find out more info on the event Facebook page.

Gown ups only night at the Children's Museum

Things I did at the Children's Museum last night

+ Blew bubbles in the bubble room.

+ Learned about what to expect in kindergarten

+ Got a bunch of people to sit on tiny chairs that looked like they did something. They did nothing so let's just sit on tiny chairs with strangers and drink beer.

+ Got my face painted.

+ Played "dodge ball" on the light up floor.

+ Attempted to climb a mini rock wall (it's a lot harder than it looks!)

+ Learned about "riding the bus" to school. Fiona's driving was out of control! She's not even looking at the pretend road.

+ Toured an authentic Japanese house.

We had so much fun. I think the dodge ball game on the light up floor was my favorite part followed closely by the Japanese house.

Free showing of The Great Gatsby

If you happen to be in the Back Bay area on Thursday night you might want to stop by the Prudential Center and catch a free showing of The Great Gatsby.

Leonardo DiCaprio, in the South Garden, at sundown. Sounds good to me.

The free viewing is part of Back Bay Night Out where local businesses will be offering special deals and entertainment to lure shoppers and diners to the Back Bay.
