Shop-a-rama
Did a tour of the mandatory Harvard Square shops.
Tower Records never fails. Picked up a couple of Dropkick Murphys albums, as well as the new Opeth and Coldplay’s debut from sale. Chose not to obey the Heikkuri-doctrine, as I did not try out any new local band - the Murphys are an old comrade. However, on the standup-comedy front the shop did not have any Steven Wright material, and had to settle for Bill Hicks instead.
Harvard Bookstore had a paperback edition of Susannah Clarke’s Mr. Norrell, but it was such a hefty volume that decided to pick it up somewhere and somewhen else. They had also ran out of Moleskine notebooks, but fortunately a nearby stationary shop (where we were to hunt for air mail stamps, in vain) turned out to have a more than decent selection.
