New Year's Eve is always a special time for the Providence music scene. Stacked bills, the return of old friends and The Creative Capital being abundant with crazy parties and fun experiences. This time around it's no different with some of Providence's finest rocking the best bars and venues in the city to ring in 2014 with a bang. To give you an idea of what to check out, here are my Top 5 New Year's Eve shows that you can't miss: Evan McKay So assassin’s creed black flag is….not that bad! As much as I want to hate Ubisoft for pushing this re-hashed seaweed on me; sadly I cannot. Playing through the first 3 hours of the game as this review is being written, I laughed a lot! The game is so silly and the novelty of how easy the game is and how much of an invincible bad-ass Edward (the protagonist) is, really is the only thing this game has left. All I did for 3 hours was run around Havana on a killing rampage collecting sea shanty sheet music, and finding not so secret manuscripts (‘cause they are all on the map and you can target them so its impossible not to find them)and tho fun view point things you climb and the camera spins around. It was kinda funny! Killing people savagely and watching them die in the silliest poses! Which with the wonder of the PS4 controller you can upload screen-shots to twitter and Facebook in less then 5 seconds! I know I sound sick but if it wasn't for how silly this game is it would be soooooooooo bad! By Alicia: The Sexual Intellectual At the end of 2009, an estimated 1,148,200 persons aged 13 and older were living with HIV infection in the United States, including 207,600 (18.1%) persons whose infections had not been diagnosed. (http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/statistics/basics/index.html)
Sadly, those statistics don't matter to most sexually active people in the US and across the world. We continue to have unprotected sex, hanging on a hope that it'll never happen to us but the reality is, it's out there and thousands of people are infected right now and don't even know it because they'd rather be in denial than protect their partners. Hello dear Readers and Happy Holidays. Welcome to a special edition of Comedy On Us. Vol 14 will be our first "blogisode" since we will not be live for a couple weeks. Details below along with lots of holiday news and cheers to keep you laughing and informed. I carefully hung three stockings above for myself, Bruce and the Moshing Maniac himself! Hope we get some goodies. We will return soon. Enjoy and I will see you out there.
Evan McKay The desolation of quality film is more like it! Being raped by millions of CGI is possibly the worst movie going experience to date, and I have heard the the Desolation of Smaug does not disappoint. Peter Jackson is so full of his own wiener its hard to believe this movie is not just a Giant CGI wiener!
By Alicia: The Sexual Intellectual Raw Sex session #11 In many different roles in life, some of us may find we are more comfortable "taking the lead," or some may enjoy a more passive approach with certain projects. The same goes for the bedroom, there is usually one person who is more dominant in a sexual situation and one more submissive. A submissive by definition is: One ready to conform to authority or will of others; meekly obedient or passive. But don't be confused! Some of us who are leaders in the world of business enjoy being someone else's pet, and that "nerdy" guy you make fun of by the water cooler, may have a harem of women whom enjoy obeying his every command. Bob Giusti - 990WBOB@gmail.com I’m an old school guy and was around before cable TV (let alone the internet). There were three major networks back then and one of their favorite formats was the variety show. The variety format meant just that; a little something for everyone. One of the more popular programs, The Ed Sullivan Show, on any given Sunday featured magicians, jugglers, comics, a song from the original cast of a Broadway show, and of course something for the teenagers (Elvis, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones). It was all live and the audience was an integral part of the show.For the past two years the variety format lives on with 990WBOB’s Mondays On Blast show. Dan Martin Last week on a rainy Friday night in December, in Providence, Rhode Island, people were lined up outside of the Columbus Theatre on Broadway. It wasn't for a film or a band and they haven't shown porno here since the late nineties. This time it was for something new to the venue, Stand-up Comedy! It was the first comedy show at the Theater, ever! I know I just delivered the news like an over excited sixteen year old girl furiously texting gossip, like, OMG, no way? But YES WAY, indeed. And who else to bring his DIY comedy revolution to our state of Oceans but none other thanEugene Mirman?
Freddy Choyle - 990WBOB@gmail.com Tis the season for company holiday parties. The social gathering for those who are not made to be social with each other, the rest of the year. Things can often get awkward and you can count on at least one person to be belligerently drunk before the end of the evening. Certainly someone is going to do something, he or she will regret. Don't let that person be you.
