Captain Beefheart Symposium

Legendary Captain Beefheart guitarist GARY LUCAS conducts a BEEFHEART SYMPOSIUM at The Magic Room on Friday Sept. 10th

Gary Lucas, who has been called "a modern guitar miracle" (Rolling Stone), "The Thinking Man's Guitar Hero" (The New Yorker) and "One of the 100 Greatest Living Guitarists" will give a lecture and musical demonstration devoted to his mentor and childhood hero Don Van Vliet aka Captain Beefheart.

Gary considers Beefheart to be one of the seminal forces in contemporary music. Under his tutelage, Gary first emerged as a major guitar force to be reckoned with, as featured soloist in Beefheart's Magic Band on the last two Beefheart albums "Doc at the Radar Station" and "Ice Cream for Crow."

Gary will show rare video footage of the man and the band, delve into his complex artistic oeuvre as both a composer -- by performing some of his fiendishly difficult solo guitar compositions live -- and as a painter by showing slides of his formidable paintings and drawings. Help celebrate this legendary, larger-than-life, maverick / outsider / genius who, as the guiding force behind the #1 avant-garde rock group, rightfully deserves a place of honor in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame.

NOTE: No one under 18 years old will be admitted.

JTIMA Welcome Back Potluck and Informational Meeting - for EVERYONE!

Join the Impact Massachusetts (JTIMA) is inviting all new and returning college students - as well as their post-baccalaureate friends and allies - to attend a special Welcome Back Potluck Dinner. Whether you've organized with JTIMA in the past, or you're brand new to Boston and/or the whole organizing thing, here's an opportunity to hang out with friends, both new and old, and learn more about what JTIMA does in the Boston area... all year long (we had a very busy and FUN summer, by the way) while eating some of your favorite foods. Are you interested? Well, there's one little catch: you need to BRING something. That's the "price of admission" for this little event. Whether it's deviled eggs (not from Iowa, please) or your grandmother's baked manicotti recipe or your own special double death-by-chocolate marshmallow-frosted cupcakes, please bring something to share with everyone else and plan on having a damn good time. A couple of things: (1) we need an accurate RSVP list as soon as possible so we know the size of the room to reserve at the college, and (2) we need to know what you want to bring, so we don't have an entire room full of Caesar salads or chocolate chip cookies. Please email David at [masked] so he can coordinate all the tasty side dishes, main courses, and baked goodies for that evening. And if you think you know folks who would be interested in attending this first JTIMA meeting of the 2010-11 academic year, then feel free to share this with them. The more, the merrier! (p/s - we'll send a final and definite location a few days before the event, so be sure to watch your Facebook messages for more information. Thanks!)

Community Brainstorm for LGBT Homeless Youth

We've secured a room at the Democracy Center in Harvard Square and we are looking for as many people and/or organizations to come and help us brainstorm an action (rally, speak out, etc.) to raise awareness for LGBT homeless youth. "It�s no secret that our nation has an endemic homelessness problem, and many are aware that youth make up a large percentage of homeless Americans. But the fact that a disproportionately large portion of homeless youth comes from the gay* and transgender community is not widely known." - excerpt from http://www.americanprogress.org/issues/2010/08/homelessness_brief.html We want to hear from all the voices in the community on how we approach this and we'll share how we think we should face the daunting task of not only raising awareness, but working towards stopping it.

Rev. Dr. Paul Hasselbeck presents �Trouble In The Hood: Victim Hood, That Is�

As a road map to realizing our Christ potential, it is useful to look at four levels of consciousness: victim consciousness, victor consciousness, vessel consciousness and Verity Consciousness. Learn how to move from Victim Consciousness To Verity by claiming and affirming Truth. Charles Fillmore said this, �Christian metaphysicians have discovered that can greatly accelerate the growth of the Christ Mind by using affirmations that identify with the Christ. These affirmations often are so far beyond the present attainment of the novice as to seem ridiculous, but when it is understood that the statements are grouped about an ideal to be attained, they seem fair and reasonable.� Join the growing family of Unity In The City as Rev. Paul helps us celebrate the Oneness we all share. Guided meditation begins at 10:30 AM, as does the Sunday School for the young. Worship begins at 11 and is followed by fellowship afterwards. Rev. Paul will then offer a workshop. See details in the calendar. Unity is a new thought ministry founded on belief in the power of prayer to heal and create our lives. The Unity In The City congregation recognizes the many paths to God, welcoming any and all faiths to join with us in meditation, prayer and song. Our new home on the 3rd floor of 320 Washington Street in the center of Brighton is fully accessible, and well served by public transportation with 8 bus lines and the Washington St. stop on the Green line B service 5 blocks away. The is plenty of parking alongside and below the building. Feel free to bring food or beverages to share.

Sunday at the MFA

There's a photography exhibit at the MFA that opened in the end of July featuring the work of photographer Nicholas Nixon that looks interesting. These photographs, taken over time, explore the nature of long-committed relationships. The exhibition features the entire sequence of the celebrated portraits of the artist�s wife, Bebe, and her three sisters. Taken annually for 30 years, the Brown Sisters pictures reveal gradual changes in their physiques and shifts in their relationships. The exhibition also includes photographs of the artist�s daily life with his wife and their children, which enable viewers to share in the daily interactions and joys of parenthood. Nicholas Nixon, who teaches at Massachusetts College of Art, is one of the most celebrated American photographers of our generation. After we peruse this exhibit, we can wander around the museum's permanent collection for a bit and then get a cup of coffee or a bite to eat.
