From the Boston Globe:

Drivers aggravated by parking tickets are getting some calming advice from the Cambridge transportation department -- try yoga.

The Boston-area city known for its elite universities, Harvard and MIT, printed 40,000 of the tickets as part of a public art project by artist-in-residence Daniel Peltz. Cambridge parking enforcement officers hand out about 340,000 tickets per year.

Susan Clippinger, the city's transportation chief, tells the Boston Herald the purpose of the tickets is to "debunk the idea that all parking tickets are a hostile action."

Laugh out loud. I mean literally. Not in some hideously overused LOL way.

In summary

I believe this encounter epitomizes my date last night.

Me: Generally the Garden is much cleaner. Lots of people take their wedding photos here. But right now they are having hempfest.

My date: Hemp? Fest? You mean like a celebration of people who like to wear hemp clothing?

Me: No, like potheads.

My date. Oh. Ohhhhh. Really?

He was not trying to be funny or ironic or mocking. (I don't think he is capable of irony or sarcasm.) The night went on like that....

I might have to see this, how about it Dodie?

Lewis Carroll meets Lady Gaga in this psychedelic update of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. This new adaptation blends the lyrical whimsy of Alice with high-octane physical theater and the dynamic vision of acclaimed Hungarian director János Szász (Mother Courage, Marat/Sade, The Seagull). The result is a fresh, funny, and emotional remix of Carroll's classic coming-of-age tale.
