Get on the radio as part of this Sunday's audience participation event for "Radio With A View" at Jimmy Tingle's Off-Broadway Theater in Davis Square, Somerville. The event begins at 4:00 pm.

The Boston Globe just launched another blog...it's called
Flipside and it's supposed to chronicle Boston's nightlife, and fun events happening around town.

I'm one of four Globe writers who'll be posting to Flipside regularly, so feel free to send me stuff that you think is blog-worthy: event listings...party photos....nightclub gossip....story ideas....you can suggest people we should interview...places we should write about...video clips...and anything else you can think of.

My e-mail address is -- drop me a line anytime. There's also a place on the Flipside blog where you can submit feedback, and you can find individual e-mail addresses for my fellow Flipside bloggers there, too.

Boingboing.net's co-editor Cory Doctorow is scheduled to speak next week at MIT Monday and Harvard Wednesday.

Looks like there should be some interesting content regarding Hollywood DRM schemes that will soon effect anyone who consumes entertainment. The talk at Harvard is titled "Set Top Cop: Hollywood's Secret War on Your Living Room".

I'll be out of town but sure hope someone goes and posts the scoop.

Afternoon 96.9 drivetime political shock jock, Jay Severin, went mysteriously missing from the airwaves last fall. He resurfaced this morning on Imus with a quippy explaination for his absence. Before going off on an analysis of the whole Abramoff deal, he said that, like farmers on farm subsidies, he was paid to NOT do his job once his national syndication deal came through. Apparently, 96.9 wasn't sure that they would be Jay's local affiliate, and wanted to stop promoting him.

Well, according to Jay on Imus, he'll soon be back on 96.9 with his nationally syndicated show. Go figure.
