BSP will be hitting the Life is Good Festival in Canton. Can't wait. I saw the Laurie Berkner Band a few years ago at the Opera House in Boston, and they are just GREAT! They'll be at Life is Good this weekend with lots of other big names including Jason Mraz.
I also want to squeeze in the Sterling Fair (between errands, soccer and everything else).
The Wheelock Family Theater in Boston is having an OPEN HOUSE on Saturday, September 11th. Our staff visited there last month and was blown away.
The weather is perfect. Hope you can find some time to something fallishly fun. Enjoy!!!
