Theatre Ticket to see Doubt on Friday at 8 (2/9/07) + -
Greetings,
I bought tickets to see a Broadway play called Doubt and my date says her baby sitter cancelled...
I'm taller than you (6'0") and you are younger than me (35). Special preference for tennis players and scientists, but all ladies are welcome to inquire.
Please contact me if you have any questions or would like to chat.

Crafts at the Castle 2007 - Call for Artists! + -
You are invited to apply to Crafts at the Castle 2007 - Now at the Hynes Convention Center - in Boston, Massachusetts, November 30 through December 2, featuring a Preview Gala on November 29.
Crafts at the Castle is a showcase for the finest contemporary craft and design in America, a standard established by our first show in 1986 and sustained every year since then. For over 20 years, Crafts at the Castle has retained its place as one of the top three exhibitions and sales of contemporary three-dimensional art and design in the USA. Each year, the show attracts up to 10,000 visitors, generates over $1 million in artist sales, and raises about $400,000 for Family Service of Greater Boston programs for children and their families.
Crafts at the Castle is the annual benefit for Family Service of Greater Boston, a social service agency dedicated to providing programs for children, youth, and families struggling with emotional, psychological, and economic effects of poverty, abuse, and neglect.
Since moving to the Hynes Convention Center in 2005, Crafts at the Castle has expanded to feature 150 craft artists, chosen by a new jury each year from over 600 applications annually. The show is known for its exceptional jury selection process, which discovers innovative new artists and highlights the quality workmanship of established artists, all of whom come to Boston to support the Mission of Family Service of Greater Boston. All work is original, executed by hand with appropriate tools, and created by individual artists. Each year, the show collaborates with the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, for the “Director’s Choice Award,” a purchase prize chosen from among CATC artists by museum curators. Throughout 2005 and 2006, the MFA featured a display of Director’s Choice Award pieces acquired at Crafts at the Castle for the Museum’s collection.
Visit Family Service of Greater Boston's Web site at www.fsgb.org for more information about Crafts at the Castle 2007.
Qualifications: Crafts at the Castle is a showcase for the finest contemporary craft and design in America, a standard established by our first show in 1986 and sustained every year since then. All work must be original, executed by hand or with the use of appropriate tools, and created by individual craftspeople. Sales representatives and agents for groups of craftspeople are not eligible; each artist must be juried individually, and if selected, must be in attendance for the duration of the show. Work should be well-conceived and must show imagination, evidence of being handmade, originality and the mark of the artist’s individuality. Artists applying to the show must apply under a specific category.
Not acceptable for jurying: dried or pressed flower arrangements, seed and pod decoration, handmade soaps or perfumes, cut bottles, embellished (decorated) furniture, handmade reproductions, objects made from commercially sold kits or molds, and art in media such as painting, photography, graphic arts, etc., except where incorporated into an otherwise accepted media category.
A panel of five jurors selects participants for Crafts at the Castle. Crafts at the Castle staff rely on the expertise of artists, gallery owners, museum curators, and arts professionals from diverse media and areas of the art world for our jury. With a new panel of jurors each year, we ensure both consistent quality and freshness for the show. We look for work from new and emerging artists, and we value the friendships and relationships we have built with the experienced award-winning artists who have been part of Crafts at the Castle for many years. Every artist who participates in Crafts at the Castle must submit a new application for review by a new jury every year. This is one way in which Crafts at the Castle ensures the high quality of art exhibited and at the same time remains open to new trends and creators in the world of fine craft and design.
How to Apply:
APPLY ONLINE AT www.fsgb.org or complete downloaded application from www.fsgb.org/howtoapply.htm to apply by mail.
