eatBoston is VERY excited to announce that Saturday, April 24th will be the first annual BOSTON BACON AND BEER FESTIVAL in the SoWa area of the South End! This event will be chock-full of local restaurants dishing out delicious bacon-themed dishes and local breweries serving up samples of their finest beer all in the name of a good cause. After expenses, all proceeds will benefit Community Servings, Share our Strength, South End Youth Baseball and, The Juniper Fund.There will also be artists tables, live local music, pig butchery demonstrations, and more! This is going to be big. For the love of all that is excellent, SAVE THE DATE, and tell your friends why you’re saving it, too. Tickets for the event will be available very shortly. I’m putting this together with SoWa Sundays, and they’re great!BACON AND BEER! Huzzah!

Tupac Shakur and the End of the World

Something to read tonight: Tupac Shakur and the End of the World

Seems like we’re all a little culturally obsessed with impending apocalypse at the moment; a minor flurry of end-of-the-world tales a few years back has grown into an everyman’s meme, with the cinemas full of zombie hordes, desolate wastelands and rugged survivors. That ubiquity has been a bit off-putting, to be honest… I love me a good post-apocalyptic story, but I’ve become a bit bored of them, and didn’t think we’d be publishing one here at Futurismic any time soon.

But Sandra McDonald has managed to prove me wrong, by subverting the cliches and turning the end of the world on its head with some darkly post-modern humour; “Tupac Shakur and the End of the World” is a post-apocalypse yarn for people who are bored of post-apocalypse yarns. Enjoy!
