!!!!!!!!!!BOSTON FUNSHIT!!!!!!!!!!

Hello! My name is Dan Shea. Here's a (hopefully) frequently updated list of fun, weird, cool, and interesting crap that you might want to waste your time doing while in Boston. It ain't pretty, but it'll get the job done. This resource is intended to help underagers find the shit, and to help overagers overcome their soul killing march toward suck. Low brow or high brow: I don't give a shit if it moves me. A few people are helping me out with the site nowadays!!!: Jacky, Joe B., Chris Strunk, Megan Bennett and more soon!

Do you have good taste?? Wanna submit listings for shows/other events/movies(especially other events/movies?)?! Prove it to me!!!!!!!!!! Send an email to bowaac@gmail.com and we'll talk!!!!!!!!!
