First there was MUM, then SUM, now YUM. This is the last outdoor festival in Union Square this year, and it should be a good one. There will be plenty of free tastings of the local/international flavors as well as a cornucopia of food info. Highlights include: 'mix your own masala', 'Dish! A giant interactive culinary map', 'healing powers of foods', pumpkin carving contest, and Balla Kouyate will rock the Malian balafon music at 4:30pm.

There's also an 'Iron Chef'-style between the chefs of Gargoyles, Evoo, & The Independent beginning at 3pm. They'll be given local produce, $75 to spend in local markets, and one hour to see whose cuisine reigns supreme. Somerville Mayor Joe Curtatone, a writer from Edible Boston magazine, and an audience member will judge.

As usual, the Saturday Farmers Market will precede the fun from 9am to 1pm.

Image of the mural "The Potluck" used with permission, courtesy of the Central Square Business Association.

6pm to 9pm (SAT: Noon to 6pm)
ArtsCentral 2007
in Central Square businesses & along its streets, Cambridge
Buttons: $10 for 14+ / $5 for 10 to 13 / FREE under 10

The ArtsCentral theme says, "See Art in Everything," and they're not far off. Central Square will be bursting with even more art than usual. The creative juices will be flowing with a wide array of art exhibits/installations, performances, arts & crafts vendors, and participatory fun. It's well distributed over more than 40 spots -- most are close to Mass Ave between the YMCA and MIT Museum.

There's a lot of free outdoor performances & store exhibits, but you could support the arts and buy a button. You get into the 'special' events with it, and the button can be used to redeem various food & retail discounts in the area.

The Friday festivities consist of 6 events including a 'barbecue & avante garde poetry reading' at Out of the Blue Art Gallery, a vintage kids movie at Carberry's, and an opera singer at La Groceria (am not sure how they're going to keep out regular diners, but a button is 15% off the food).

At the Temple St Stage, I'd probably try to catch The Chicken Slacks Soul Revue (Noon) or Mamadou's take on West African music (1pm) but there's a variety of music, dance, and more here and at the Main St Stage on the other end. Inside the Cort Putnam furniture store, it will be mainly jazz and a spoken word performance. If you're a jazz guitar fan, you might find Brian O'Connell (Noon) interesting; he'll play a 'touch guitar' where both of hands will be on a double-wide neck to play melody and accompaniment at the same time.

A couple other notables are ImprovBoston comedy performances at The Field every couple hours and a rededication of the mural behind Harvest Co-Op (beginning at 4pm) with the artist David Fichter as well as a "short play by Cambridge youths".

See the website for full schedule & map (PDF), and see below for the list of discounts.

Purchase buttons at Cambridge Savings Bank (Central Sq) , Economy Hardware, Leader Bank, University Florist, and the Central Square Business Assoc. office (130 Bishop Allen Dr).

Some Early Weekend Cheapness -- FRI 9/28 & SAT 9/29

FRI 9/28

7:30pm to 11pm
Tango by Moonlight
Over the Charles River on the Weeks pedestrian bridge, Memorial Drive side, near Dewolf St, Cambridge
FREE

It's the last dance, the last dance this year... But there will be no disco ball in sight tonight. When the weather is warm and the moon is full, tango is the game (but if you keep to the side, you could pretty much do anything like a dance like in junior high. There's a brief dance lesson session, and then you do your best on the basic tango step while you bump into the the real dancers -- or maybe that's just me.

It's a good time anyway. It's free, and the view is beautiful. Take your loved one and look like a romantic hero(ine) -- or show up and dance with a stranger. There are usually enough people without partners. Stay as long as you want.

Rain date: 9/29


SAT 9/29

Midnight
J. Cannibal's Feast Of Flesh V: Music, Burlesque, Horror Film, etc
Feat: Bad Ash, Black Cat Burlesque, "Evil Dead"
at Coolidge Corner Theatre, 290 Harvard St, Brookline
$10

This guy does not wait until Halloween to freak you out. I say J. Cannibal is creepy, because he's an undertaker -- and he looks & acts really creepy. One of his other vocations is organizing the Feasts of Flesh where zombies & freaks (and zombie/freak lovers) get together for music, film, burlesque, and all-around wickedness and weirdness.

I admit it's been a long time since I've seen 'Evil Dead', but it's still one of the best horror movies I've seen. Remember that it was done on a low, low budget (even for 1981: $50k); but it was still friggin' scary and gory -- cheesy special effects and all. It's not just me, because it's considered one of the all-time horror cult classics. Director Sam Raimi has since helmed the Spiderman movies and others.

Tonight's band could not be a better fit; Bad Ash (named after Bruce Campbell's character in the 'Evil Dead' movies) slams the night into gear with an opening set. Their horror-influenced punk with a humorous bent gets a little metal at points, and there's even a little bit of ska horns. For those who enjoy hot 'ghoul on ghoul' action should dig the spine-chilling lovelies of Black Cat Burlesque who have been "raising pulses, the dead and a whole lot of hell since 2003."

Free 'gory' goodie bags for all, there will be some cool prizes for best zombie costumes -- and there are some serious contestants. SEIBEI, a t-shirt company, has "Intramural Zombie Hunting League" t-shirts to sell and will give some customized ones away.

Cheap Thrills SAT 9/22 to FRI 9/29

Okay, okay. I was going to post my archives before starting my regular posts, but it looks like it's on a Big Dig timeline. Come back and check on days besides Fridays (hopefully Thursdays soon), because I might post other things as I find out about them...

My plan is to usually post the basic info here. You have to subscribe to the weekly email to get my witty commentary... (or go to going.com or my BostonNOW blog, but I'll probably add those here too.)
