Yes, Deb Grabien is in town and she is staying at Chez B & FAQ-Wife. We would be happy to host a post dinner get-together at our house this Saturday night, Dec. 10. I thought we could go out to dinner somewhere nearby -- Elephant Walk maybe? -- and then proceed to our house for dessert and other goodies.
In other news, I will be performing Christmas Carols, along with some punk and new wave hits, with my trusty theremin the following day, Sunday, Dec. 11, at the Cyclorama in the South End as part of the Bazaar Bizarre, the hipster crafts fair. I'll be doing three short sets, tentatively scheduled for 2pm, 4pm, and 6:20pm. [link]
In other other news, I'll be donning my Santa cap once again as a tour guide for the Somerville Illuminations Holiday Lights tour. I will be on trolley B for the 6:15pm and 8:45pm tours. Tickets go on sale today and it does sell out fairly quickly. If you'd like to go, but can't easily get to Davis Square to buy tickets, let me know and I'll get them for you (you can pay me back the night of the tour). [link]
I hope you can make one or more of these events! RSVP is requested but not mandatory. Questions, etc. should go to the F2F thread or email.
Since some of you are already 1947 fans, I'll post Kim's email request here:
***********
Gentle reader,
As you may know, I maintain, with my demented little buddy Nathan, an historical true crime blog called 1947project. Each day we feature a forgotten Los Angeles crime from 1947, and quite often we visit the scene and share how it looks today.
Thanks in large part to the kind readers who nominated us last week, we are officially in the running for a Gridskipper Urb award as one of the Best Los Angeles Blogs. Yea! Only we are up against our pal Rodger at 8763 Wonderland. Boo!
In any case, we'd really appreciate it if you could click over and, if you like what we're doing at 1947project, cast a vote before December 26.
Our catagory, Best Los Angeles Blog, is near the bottom of the page, under Best New York Blog, here:

thanking you in advance for your vote, I am, yr pal, Kim Editrix
Some of you already know about this but for those who don't:
My husband, Joe, took a coffee roaster and about 1000 lbs of green bean coffee with him to Iraq last year. In addition to his official job predicting the actions of insurgents, he also set-up and ran a coffee roaster and espresso bar which they called Blackjack Java. It was a big hit over in LSA Anaconda, where he was stationed.
He has spent literally (almost) every hour since he got back setting up the roaster here in North Carolina. Joe has spent many hours dreaming about making this work and it is wonderful for me to see him finally have the chance to actually do it.
With that lead in, I invite you all to go check out www.simcoffees.com The website still has a few bugs/typos, but we are finally ready to sell some fresh-roasted coffee (at least via paypal. We will be taking credit card payments sometime in the next few days.) If you like good coffee, this is really good coffee and the fresh-roasted part makes a difference. If you don't like coffee normally, this is still good coffee. (I'm a non-coffee drinker myself but I actually like this stuff. Joe says it's something about the combination of high quality beans and fresh roasting.)
also, IIRC it's okay for me to push something I'm doing here. If I'm wrong, however, I'll be happy to delete.
