There was a big rally for (now-Senator) Brown at Mechanics Hall; the City’s considering banning plastic bags, though Mike has long advocated non-governmental action on this issue.
Vegetarian Renaissance: vegan mac’n’cheese cookoff coming up; veg fest coming up; creative Dunkin Donuts event. (Non-veg: Dr. Gonzo may have a roadkill barbeque.)
There are fancifully-dressed tax services advertisers on the sidewalks. Chain bar McFadden’s has closed.
Belmont Street Community School was massively vandalized. There was a Haiti fundraiser.
Mike talks about cargo cults. “Do different dumb things, Worcester. Do different dumb things.”
