The sun, which has been pretty flaky lately, sets while people wait for the Boston Pops rehearsal to begin.
Let this photo be proof that the sun actually came out today. I was beginning to think summer was canceled.

July 3, 2009 Photo of the day: The sun sets on the Charles River
Friday, July 3rd, 2009Neil Diamond and the Boston Pops rehearse “Sweet Caroline,” among other songs…
Friday, July 3rd, 2009I won’t be able to attend the actual concert, so I went to the esplanade this evening to hear the Boston Pops rehearse for tomorrow night’s 4th of July celebration, the Fireworks Spectacular. Neil Diamond will perform, so he was there, which was pretty cool!
I was excited to hear them play “Sweet Caroline” and grabbed my iPhone as soon as they started: Click here to hear them rehearse “Sweet Caroline”.
I wasn’t expecting anything fantastic as far as sound quality goes, as the iPhone mic definitely isn’t meant for recording live music, but it turned out pretty well! (I used the new Voice Memos application and edited it for length in Audacity after syncing with my computer.)
Enjoy! And happy birthday, America!
Earthfest 2009 draws a decent crowd
Saturday, May 30th, 2009The weather was great for Earthfest, which featured music from Shawn Mullins, Seven Mary Three, The Lemonheads, Soul Asylum, and local band Red Summer Sun.

People celebrated the Earth, music was played, beach balls were thrown…
The Lemonheads and beach balls
…bags were confiscated and some kids were thrown out.
Busted!

I need a good caption for the above photo.
Possibilities:
- “If you’re happy and you know it…”
- “Talk it up infield!”
- “Olé olé olé oléééééé!”
Look at that sky!
But seriously, what a beautiful day in our fair city! It was nice to finally see the sun this week!
