Food Truck Festivals of New England (FTFNE) believes that food trucks needn’t be a ‘treat’ restricted for city dwellers only, and we believe that, given the opportunity, people in all parts of Massachusetts and New England would not only like to eat, but would love the chance to sample gourmet food from the area’s best food trucks without having to make the trek into the “big city”! The 2012 FTFNE tour is the largest group of consecutive food truck festivals to ever hit the Northeast. We have teamed up with some of the biggest food trucks in the region to launch a festival tour coming to cities and towns throughout the New England, making sure that there will be a festival somewhere in the region virtually every weekend from June through October. Our goal at FTFNE is not only to introduce communities across New England to the booming phenomenon that is food trucks, but to also help create a platform to support the small business owners that run them. We believe that this is a trend that has longevity, and we want to do our part to help create a more sustainable future for the trucks by paying each one for their participation in the events and ‘feeding’ the food truck industry as a whole. We hope that by providing plenty of great, fun food for ticketholders and by supporting the trucks we will create a new New England tradition for generation of foodies to come. If you ask us, we’re off to a great start! 2013 Festival schedule coming soon! Follow us on Twitter: @FoodTruckFestNE

The Stew focuses on being the newest and most innovative producer showcase to date. By creating opportunities for both seasoned sound smiths and new-to-the-game beat makers, the showcase is a chance to share a stage, network, gain exposure and battle for cash/prizes. Established in 2013 by Boston based brands STAE TRU® & Authentic Lifestyle, this showcase chooses to place more emphasis on the creative side of music production through its clever challenges and untraditional beat-showcase structure. Our platform is welcoming to all skill sets and offers chances to those who are willing to step up and be heard. With live beat making, our #OpenKitchen (producer open mic) and special music performances, we aim to change the way beat showcases are experienced whether you are in the crowd or behind a drum machine fixed on winning this year’s championship title!

The Bright-Landry Hockey Center is a 3,095-seat ice-hockey arena in Boston, Massachusetts, United States. It is home to the Harvard University Crimson men's and women's ice hockey teams. It is named for Alec Bright '19, a former hockey player.In 1956, the Donald C. Watson Rink was opened just north of Harvard Stadium at Soldiers Field, the area in the Allston neighborhood of Boston used by Harvard athletics, just across the Charles River from campus. The rink held approximately 2,000 people, but did not have many modern amenities. When plans were made to upgrade facilities, the $5-million cost became prohibitive, and the decision was made to renovate Watson Rink. In 1978, following the hockey season, the walls were removed and the roof was extended before the new arena itself was installed. After a season without a full-time home, the "new" arena opened on November 19, 1979, with an exhibition between Harvard and the 1980 USA Olympic hockey team.In November 2006, Bright Arena was home to the 2006 Friendship Cup, the Cup's debut year. Team USA Alumni, Team Canada Alumni, Team Gazprom and the Boston Bruins Alumni team all participated in the event. The Bruins defeated Team USA, while Gazprom defeated Team Canada.The arena was also home to the Boston Pride of the National Women's Hockey League for the 2015–16 NWHL season in which the Pride won the Isobel Cup Championship.
The Ray Lavietes Basketball Pavilion at the Briggs Athletic Center is a 2,195-seat multi-purpose arena in the Allston neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. Owned by Harvard University, it is the second-oldest college basketball arena still in use (Fordham University's Rose Hill Gym (1924) is older).Originally known as the Briggs Athletic Center, it was originally named for LeBaron Russell Briggs, dean of Harvard College 1891-02 and the school's athletic director for 17 years. Briggs also served as president of the NCAA. It included an indoor track and batting cages, which were popular with local collegiate and professional baseball players, including Ted Williams. In 1981, the Gordon Indoor Track and Tennis Facility (located adjacent to Harvard Stadium and the Bright Hockey Center) opened, and the building was refurbished as the new home to the Harvard basketball program, replacing the Malkin Athletic Center in Cambridge. The women's first game in the building was on November 26, 1982 against Chicago, and the men's was a day later against neighbor and rival MIT. In March 1996, the building was rededicated to Ray Lavietes '36, a two-time basketball letterman who made a $2.1 million contribution to a second refurbishing project in 1995 and 1996.
The Class of 1959 Chapel is a non-denominational chapel located on the campus of Harvard Business School in Boston, Massachusetts. It was designed by Moshe Safdie in 1992, as part of a master plan to complement the existing 1927 campus architecture by McKim, Mead and White that would allow for Business School to expand along the Charles River. It was funded by a gift from alumni from the Class of 1959. It was engineered by Weidlinger Associates and built by Richard White Sons, Inc. for a cost of approximately $2.5 million.StructureThe chapel consists of an concrete cylinder surfaced with a layer of patinaed bronze. On one side of the cylinder is a pyramidal glass greenhouse that houses a below-ground koi pond decorated with live plants, a small waterfall, and concrete blocks that serve as stepping stones.Outside the chapel is a rectangular marble tower containing a two-story steel pole and a large bronze ball. The tower is a functioning clock; as the ball moves up and down the pole, lines on the tower indicate the time of day. The timepiece was designed by Karl Schlamminger.InteriorThe chapel itself occupies nearly all of the ground floor of the building and is accessed through a tall metal door from the greenhouse. The interior is a two-story stone cylinder with several semi-circular concrete constructions scalloping the walls. At the top of the cylinder are thin windows with several long prisms designed by the artist Charles Ross that create raking light and occasionally rainbows across the austere concrete interior.
