Type:
Should you make that big move? Is it time to dump your boyfriend? Demand a raise? Run for office? ASK THE ORACLE - All your questions answered in song! Back by popular demand, Boston-based band Jim’s Big Ego (www.bigego.com) re-teams with writer/actor/musician and radio mystic, Andras Jones for the return of an original interactive theater production entitled The Ego & The Oracle - an evening of rock and roll divination. Part experimental theater, part rock and roll cabaret, part mystic mind-expansion, The Ego & The Oracle is a live stage spectacular where “Magic 8 Ball meets iPod Shuffle”. The premise is as simple as it is unique. Audience members are invited on stage to ask questions of The Oracle. They then spin a wheel containing Jim’s Big Ego’s songs. When the wheel stops, the band spontaneously performs the chosen song, which in turn is interpreted as the answer to the question. The outcome can be humorous or moving, often both at once. It is a show about synchronicity and it’s hard to experience it without getting the sense that the universe is not only in tune, but that it also has a great sense of rhythm. The Ego & The Oracle returns to Jimmy Tingle's Off Broadway Theater for a limited run that starts the weekend of April 27, 28, 29, and continues every Sunday through June 17.

Join Socializing for Justice at Johnny D's for Trivia for Justice on Monday, June 9th at 7PM. Arrive by yourself or bring your brainy friends! Look no further if you're seeking like-minded folks to share random trivia with, want to cross-promote your events and campaigns while answering picture rounds, or are new to the area and looking for groups to get involved in. If you want to build a strong cross-issue social justice movement, SoJust is for you! IMPORTANT DETAILS ABOUT THE VENUE: The kitchen is closed on Mondays. They serve free pizza (if you order a beverage) and you can also bring in food (really!). No Program. No Speaker. Just us. RSVP at www.sojust.org - newcomers always welcome! Fee: $2 to cover group expenses. At Socializing for Justice (SoJust) events you can hang out with friends, make new ones, find a date, get the scoop on a job, and find out what's going on this weekend - political or social. And the best part is that SoJust members share your vision of building a more just world. Take the T to the Davis Stop on the Red Line. Johnny D's is at 17 Holland Drive in Somerville, MA. Want to connect outside of SoJust events? Members view and post events, job & volunteer announcements, roommate searches, etc. on the website - just click 'Messages'. The SoJust Calendar is packed with social justice-related events held throughout Greater Boston. Help us keep it filled - tell us about events you hear about. From our FAQs: "It's not very easy for me to meet new people and I'm not really one for small talk at bars." We hear you. That's why at SoJust events, in addition to traditional name tags, we have "Ask Me About" and "Looking For" tags. That way you can slap whatever you're into lately up on your shirt and wait for fellow SoJusters to approach you. These seem to do the trick of moving past the basic "what do you do for work? where do you live?" questions to conversations that lead to more substantial connections. "What actually happens at events?" You'll always be greeted by friendly folks who can help get you socializing, introduce you to people, and chat with you about questions or wishes. It's likely a few people will be there promoting their campaigns and issues (yes, SoJust welcomes that sort of behavior). At our bigger events, there's always a literature table to toss down flyers, postcards, and other paraphenalia about events around town. Most importantly, we can pretty much guarantee there will be someone there you've never met before. As one of our members said, "You are bringing together people who might never get together otherwise - if that ain't a step towards justice I don't know what is." Wanna know more about SoJust?
