Jimmy Tingle for President Saturday, February 16 and Saturday, February 23 Regent Theatre Arlington, 8:00 pm. $30 orchestra / $25 balcony When Jimmy Tingle shut down the theater in Somerville that bore his name, it seemed as if Tingle would take some time off from the day-to-day stresses of running the theater. However, he wasn't going to stay off the stage for long. He will be returning to Arlington tomorrow for his one-man show, which......

It's a day that happens only in Boston, as far as we know. Maybe they do it in Milwaukee and Kansas City, but we doubt it; only Red Sox fans are maniacal enough to go out on a cold morning to watch some boxes be loaded in a truck. That's right, it's Truck Day - the day when the Sox equipment heads south for Fort Myers and Spring Training. It's the day when dozens of......

The Red Sox have been linked time and time again to reality television this season. There was "Sox Appeal," of course, but there were also calls for the jigging Jonathan Papelbon to Riverdance his way onto "Dancing With the Stars" and the segue FOX used last week to link the Boston bullpen band (the Black Pearl) to what looks like a God-awful new series, "The Next Great American Band." Sox bloggers, however, just might be......

--A car chase happened in Cambridge last night. WBZ reports, "The chase started in Cambridge when officials spotted the driver of a black Hummer almost hit a police officer as he left the Alewife 'T' station parking lot." This was no ordinary pursuit. One witness described the chase as "insane." The police learned a lesson after the tragic police-chase deaths in Somerville - they eventually let the guy go on. And it worked out fine......

To celebrate the television version of its radio program, which will air on Showtime, Ira Glass and some of his show's popular guests, including Sarah Vowell, Dan Savage, and Jonathan Goldstein, will speak at the Boston Opera House tonight. As icing on the cake,......

Hey Bostonist, I'm Adam, and I'm a food writer for your sibling to the south, DCist. I'm making a trip up to Boston for St. Patty's to visit friends and will likely be the one cooking the big dinner we won't eat at either 'noch's or Harvest. What I'm looking for is the best cheesemonger in Boston, as I'm planning my menu around the cheese course. I figured you guys would have the goods. Please......

So, as you may have heard, President Bush has nominated John G. Roberts (whom Bostonist wishes were known as John "O.G." Roberts, but oh well) to the Supreme Court. (The G., by the way, is for Glover, but we suspect no relation to Savion or Danny.) We think this neither surprising nor especially exciting, but it is newsworthy enough that we would be remiss if we didn't offer at least some perfunctory commentary. While we......
