Is he a student? Students get into all of the museums for free, possibly the Aquarium too.

Also, FREEDOM TRAIL!

He's not a student, but his girlfriend is. Hence all the free time while she attends classes and he should not be given too much to ponder the wisdom of his recent acquisition of a $35,000 (Cdn) Sociology Degree.

Does he still have his ID? If the expiration date isn't prominent he can probably still use it.

will they honor ID from the University of Saskatchewan?

They should, particularly the MFA and Isabella Gardner. (I assume the Science Museum would as well; not sure about the Children's Museum though.)

as i always say: isabella stewart museum. & mount aurburn cemetery outside of harvard square. its a park actually. no picnics allowed.

he could shake down change from the uber rich japanese tourists in hrvrd square, fanuiel hal, etc.

search:oni gallery

zuzu is a new club. part of the middle east. usually free. thelia zedek (formerly of come showed up monday night for an acoustic show)

goto the top of boston common and watch the crazy korean guy play his madd homemade violin riffs (i am not sure what the hell it is he is playing, but it is some kind of fierce drone that he plays over and over and over)

watch the hookers in chinatown.
watch the big dig...the new bridge is a total mind f*ck.

& other stuff...what is he into?? there is also a museum of bad art, i think its free...

You're telling me he's going from Saskatchewan to Boston?!

He actually went from Saskatchewan to Atlanta, then Alabama, then Maine, then NYC and now Boston. Then he has to come back. Or he might go to Ireland.
This is my other brother. Not the one I did the radio show with.

I masturbated pretty frequently when I lived in Boston. Oh wait, I still do.
