Inhale. Exhale.
Rightside Shirts is a Boston-based nonprofit that prints t-shirts designed by elementary and middle school students, with 100% of profits donated to the designers’ school to fund youth art education.
I think this is so important, and literally one of the greatest ideas I’ve ever heard. If you agree, you should share/reblog and BUY A TSHIRT.
Supporting youth art education is fashionable.
This is me sleeping walking through Faneuil Hall.

It feels like spring and smells like mud.
It’s Monday, January 14 and it is 60 degrees in Boston. It’s sunny and breezy and all the snow is melted and the ground is wet and it smells like mud. I stepped outside and had this weird feeling of nostalgia that I can’t really describe, but it made me think of springtime as a child. I couldn’t quite grasp the memory, but it was a really nice feeling.
Snow is in the forecast for Wednesday.
The proliferation of The Marathon throughout downtown Boston continues. Pictured is New Balance’s ad campaign in the Park Street T station. Note that because they are not an official sponsor, they can’t use the phrase “Boston Marathon” in their materials.
This is a super clever ad campaign. I love that not being able to use “Boston Marathon” in their ads is almost used as an advantage to New Balance, because it forces them to be more creative and produce ads like this that only runners would fully understand. “Boston Overqualified” is genius. I wish I thought of that.
“The Birds” by Tumbleweed Company
I love this band. Just listennn.
New Balance Indoor Grand Prix
Holy crap. Why am I just finding out now that Jenny Simpson, Sara Hall, Anna Pierce, Maggie Vessey, Shannon Rowbury, Mo Farah, and Galen Rupp will all be in Boston tomorrow competing at Reggie? Argh. Tickets are all sold out. Anyone want to casually run around Reggie with me from roughly 6pm-8pm just on the off chance one of them chooses to warm up outside? That’s not weird, right?
Genius.

“The Greatest Gift of the Garden is the Restoration of the Five Senses” Mural inside the Boston Housing Authority Project on Amory and Dimock Street.
I love murals like this. It’s so simple. Just shapes and colors, but it makes the landscape look infinitely more attractive.
Tumbleweed Company on Somerville Community Access Television
I dig this band, and so should you. Tumbleweed Company is an americana band from Boston, and I can’t get enough of their music. They are also the nicest people you’d ever meet.
That awkward moment when…
…you are walking around Somerville and you spot Michael J. Epstein’s mustache from 100 feet away.

It’s not like they got 3 encores or anything. Oh wait. YES THEY DID.
