So, the symphony performance may have been cancelled, but that didn't stop a few ticket holders from snagging some free grub. Several people took advantage of the light crowd and roughed it without the AC.

I once heard that the average age of symphony-goer's is 80. Last night's Happy Hour at the Symphony proved that statistic was outdated! Perhaps it was the free food, desserts, coffee and other beverages that wheeled everyone in - young and old alike!

Hundreds flocked to the Circle Friday with loads of Christmas cheer and starbucks coffee. Many oohed and aahed as the annual tree lighting ceremony kicked off one of the jolliest seasons of the year! This photographer was there to capture the holiday spirit!

Those who came (no pun) on wednesday night at the Old Centrum were offered an interesting evening, to say the very least. Ron Jeremy, porn king and star of 1800 pornographic films, butted heads with Craig Gross, porn pastor and master-debator.
Sparks flew and a few children cried (not really), but everyone made it out okay in the end.

They're funky, they're fresh and they're theoretically dead men walking (performing). Here Come the Mummies know how to liven any evening up and that's just what they did Friday July 27th at Broadripples raddest music venue, The VOGUE.
