The Last Word


Your long day of corporate drudgery is over. Get out and enjoy the city! Here are a few ideas to get you started, lovingly picked by Boston Daily.

Elegies for Angels, Punks, and Raging Queens is a series of monologues accompanied by a blues, jazz, and rock soundtrack. Proceeds will benefit the AIDS Action Committee of Massachusetts.

If slogging around in the now-gray mush outside has taken the holiday spirit right out of you, get it back by seeing Irving Berlin’s White Christmas.

Or you can forsake the holiday experience entirely for the evening. The Pornographers is a Japanese black comedy about a pornographer who lives with a widow sworn to chastity by her late husband, who she thinks has been reincarnated as a fish. Wasn’t that on The Jerry Springer Show?

Today is the last day you can get 40 percent off at Barneys New York. Do what you will with that information, but keep in mind that Hanukkah starts tomorrow and Christmas is only 22 days away. We hope you’ll do the right thing.
