Hi! Are you attending IALLT 2007 at Tufts in June? I thought I'd share news about some of the exciting events happening in Boston during the month so that you can get a full taste of our fair city (Thanks, Click and Clack.) These links will show you a comprehensive listing of events and attractions. Make sure you have time to extend your stay in Boston for a few extra days to really get to know it. http://tinyurl.com/24spep http://www.artsboston.org/default.asp http://www.bostonusa.com/Member_forms/SITC%2007.pdf And be sure to make time for the terrific Edward Hopper exhibit at the Museum of Fine Arts: EDWARD HOPPER RETROSPECTIVE EARLY SUNDAY MORNING A touring retrospective of EDWARD HOPPER's six-decade career is at the Museum of Fine Arts, and it includes his best-known piece, Nighthawks, a color-drunk portrait of patrons at a late-night diner caught in a moment that suggests poignant loneliness. This feeling, along with urban architecture and a particular fascination with New York City (Hopper lived in Greenwich Village for more than 50 years), is among the recurring themes in the artist's realist paintings, watercolors, and prints. See the work John Updike described as "calm, silent, stoic, luminous, classic" at the MFA, 465 Huntington Ave, Boston | May 6-August 19 | 617.267.9300. <http://thephoenix.com/Listings/Details.aspx?category=Classical%20Music, Theater,Museums/Galleries,&listing=186564&city=Boston> Oh, and don't forget --- the 10 best, well, you know: http://www.10best.com/Boston/Nightlife/Pubs/index.html See you soon, Ed "Canaries in the morning, Orchestras In the afternoon, balloons at night." -Wallace Stevens, <<Academic Discourse at Havana>> =========================================== Edmund N.
