Michael Mercogliano, owner of Mike's Pastry, has died.This probably means nothing to most of you, but Mike's Pastry is one of my favorite places in Boston. I mean, it's a landmark institution; it's just not a trip to Boston if you don't stop at Mike's for cannoli ( Read more... )

UPDATE TIME!

> Spent the past couple days with my Niki, which was fab as always. <3 <3 We should move to Boston and starve together, y/y? GET ON THAT, NIKI BEAR.

And so.

• I made fudge! It's currently cooling on the counter. I'm looking forward to it.

I will be in Boston March 20 - March 23. Will anyone else be in the area? Right now the only solid plans we've got are for the concert Saturday night (SHAAAAANE); we're looking at other stuff to do, and planning to do some tourist-y things, but I wouldn't mind meeting up with someone.

If I can, I'll transfer her ticket to my dad's name. No go - tickets are non-transferable and non-refundable. Blah. Going to try to get my ( Read more... )
