Get out your wallets

Finalizing your weekend plans? Why not check out David Sedaris speak at the Boston Symphony Hall Friday night? NPR favorite and author of Naked and Me Talk Pretty One Day (among others that I have yet to read), will be taking the stage at 8pm with opportunities to address any audience questions post-show. Tickets are hot right now so get clicking or pick up that cell.

Also coming to town this weekend is the Decembrists who will be playing at the Orpheum Theatre this Saturday and Sunday evening. The best way to get the lowdown on these guys is to check them out either on youtube or Scottie's blog

(but you may have to dig a little for the entry or maybe we'll land a little help from our friend).

The Boston Celtics take the court against the Washington Wizards this Friday at 8pm to kick off the new season. Tickets range from 10 to 200 bucks. I think $192 is my personal limit, maybe I could kick in an extra bill or 2 but $200?? With new additions, Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen, the Celtics will be thismuchcloser to kicking some tail this year.

It may be the day after Halloween but that doesn't make it too early to think about Christmas! (or does it?) The annual Christmas craft festival at the World Trade Center runs this Friday through Sunday. If collectible snowmen and homemade jams are your bag, then get out your holiday sweater and head over to the mob scene in Southie... and then tell me how it is. (I'm not opposed to early holiday presents fyi, as if you needed the reminder.)
