	Boston Adventure: Christina's Ice Cream and Inman Square By Betsy Storm May 15, 2013 (All day) Well, it’s finals time, and we all know what that brings: an intense aversion to studying, and an equally intense desire for ice cream. Luckily, a quick trip to Inman Square can satisfy both! Just a fifteen-minute walk down Cambridge Street from Annenberg, Inman Square’s hip atmosphere is a refreshing break from studying. Check out one of its many yoga studios and have a bite at any cute café along the way. If you really, REALLY can’t study for finals (or are finished with finals!), enjoy the smooth tunes and cool ambiance of Ryles Jazz Club on Thursday or Friday at 9 p.m. Check out their website for tickets!

	Boston Adventure: Harvard Square’s 30th Annual May Fair By Betsy Storm May 5, 2013 - 12:00pm Springtime is here, and with it comes Harvard Square’s own 30th Annual May Fair! From noon to 6:00 P.M. on Sunday, May 5th , head into the Square for live music and dancing with a Mexican flair thanks to this year’s overlap with Cinco de Mayo celebrations. A different band will hit the stage every hour, with our own Mariachi Veritas de Harvard set for the 3:00-4:00 P.M. slot. In between sets, don’t miss the cheesy but charming street performers. Browse through more than 200 merchant and artisan stands while you enjoy the music, and remember to bring a few bucks in case you find a handmade bracelet or vintage picture frame you just have to have.

What is modern dance, anyways? Well, this is my third year with HRMDC and my second as Publicity Chair. Let me fill you in. Modern dance is ballet’s quirkier, more experimental cousin, with tons of varieties and styles. Every dance company has its own vibe, and HRMDC has spunk in spades. We love running, jumping, falling, and exploring a whole range of emotions from joy to anger to lovesickness. READ MORE
