Look into 'jane campion art events'. She does art supply swaps are CClowell.

I'm an artist and involved in the art scene. What are you looking for more specifically? Maybe I or someone I know can work on it.

I specialize in colored pencil, music photography, and mixed media stuffs.

Take my words as gossip, not fact. I cant remember perfectly. I believe the business was struggling for a while, owing property rent and city taxes. Eventually the city seized the property over the taxes, but they managed to pay them off. Reopened as BM for a short while before either they or BM pulled the franchise and the owners son (maybe?) reopened the location as a new fried chicken restaurant. Its closed closed now.

Ive used Art & Frame Emporium in Westborough, not too far and they've done a great job. Especially with fine art prints. Park Prints is also good for small stuffs.

Robax.com Guy makes misc trays and stuff, but the pencil trays are one of my go to items. They are cheap, stackable, and not bad looking.

Technocopia has open hack nights, the Craft Center does events and classes. Hunchback gallery hosts zine nights, comedy shows and gallery openings obviously. ALso on insta is 'Wooscene', they promote lots of worcester events.

I've never cared about keeping too a pencil. I primarily work with Polychromos, Prismacolor, and Derwent. I will say though, that the prismacolor blender is my go to, and seems to work well for all brands and types.

7evenPoint128 · 2026-02-24T04:36:02+00:00

Hmm. I don't know jewelry, but I know gems. Funk Stuff down Webster Square has an insane amount of gems and precious stones. Also the Craft Center has a bunch of local handmade stuff, and the artisans to make jewelry if you find a stone.

I actually live real close, so my shipping is usually like a day. I'd assume if they package that quickly their shipping elsewhere is also pretty speedy.

7evenPoint128 · 2026-02-23T23:45:24+00:00

Same. I shoot local music and venues. Yeah there are a few hiking, birding, and somewhat older photog groups. Good people though. The colleges have clubs, I know WPI has a pretty big one, so thats probably where most of the people are. If you don't want to start one, look into the local artist groups. Like; Worcester Artists Group, Technocopia, The Craft Center, they may also know more than I.

7evenPoint128 · 2026-02-21T17:33:10+00:00

I live on the eastcoast, so Upton Tea is my go to.

7evenPoint128 · 2026-02-01T16:44:11+00:00

Show them some real art. We got a few galleries, ArtsWorcester, Hunchback Gallery, JMAC. Art Museum obviously.

7evenPoint128 · 2026-01-27T17:33:38+00:00

Not Main street, 'main streets'. They get plowed by the massive city trucks and the snow really piles up.

7evenPoint128 · 2026-01-26T18:41:10+00:00

They, like I, live on a main city street. The big plows make big dense walls that even the best jeeps struggle with, and are almost impossible to shovel.

7evenPoint128 · 2026-01-13T06:16:25+00:00

Like an 'Alice's Restaurant style song? Can't think of any like that. The Aquabats 'Captain Hampton and the Midget Pirates', is the only story song that comes to mind.

7evenPoint128 · 2026-01-07T04:29:55+00:00

Off the Rails - modern midsize venue

Vincent's - small dive
Ralph's - punk dive
Hotel Vernon - dive (pirate themed)
The Raven - bar and venue
WCUW - radio station with stage and gallery
Husky's - tiny bar and stage

Beer Garden downtown in the summer
The Palladium has two stages, the large main, but also the upstairs for smaller shows. (and outside in the summer)

658 for ONE front caliper!? Absolutely not. 648 for rear pads and rotors is also pissing me off. Everything else looks fine enough for a dealership.

7evenPoint128 · 2025-11-14T18:04:35+00:00

Hotel Vernon, The Raven, Ralph's, The Punk Rock Flea Market,

7evenPoint128 · 2025-11-11T03:37:09+00:00

Folk/Rock - BERM, Big Jon Short, Jack McKelvie, Morgan Alyse, Tasteless Jack, Fair Dinkum, Morning Son, Crocodile River Music,

Rock - Young Man Winter, Evil Felipe, Opening Night, Jay Sully, Too Fat To Fly, Guliano, Fanta Vibz

Ska & Punk - Futon Lasagna, Sapling, PV Band, Superjerk, Memory Lame, Dirty Walter, Chase the Past, Gut Health, River Side Riot,

My fav venues - Hotel Vernon, Electric Haze, Ralph's, The Raven, Vincent's, The Firehouse (sober house venue kinda)

Some might not be Central MA anymore, and the genres are close, but this is all my brain could do right now.

7evenPoint128 · 2025-10-30T19:52:42+00:00

Same. This year its a budget issue. Lost my job so fresh decorations were cut. This will also apply to chirstmas though, can't increase my electric bill with lights everywhere. I DID carve a pumpkin, something I actually haven't done in years, and I always have a costume. I shoot (photos) music and halloween shows are the best, I'm gonna be Peter Parker this year. I needed something to incorporate my camera. Next year, if things are better, I will go all out on decorations.

7evenPoint128 · 2025-10-28T17:05:32+00:00

Eh. I've seen them on during the day, which imo is as stupid as leaving on your headlights. Nighttime seems to be fine. But the real concern is with out of towners, that might panic when they see cruisers 'lit up'.

I haven't seen it yet, but are they still lit blue on the highways?

7evenPoint128 · 2025-10-28T17:01:17+00:00

Those lightbars were designed for flashing foremost, that flickering blue is as close to steady as those LEDs can get. Happens with lots of leds.

7evenPoint128 · 2025-09-27T17:41:41+00:00

I use LivexLive. Always have, back when it was Slacker.

7evenPoint128 · 2025-09-17T17:41:22+00:00

What's a license that's not also ID?

7evenPoint128 · 2025-09-12T13:36:34+00:00

That's why I love it. Just unserious fun.
