Waterboys spalsh into Boston

Jason, Bex, and 1.5 here once again reporting from the dungeon. Tonight The Waterboys rocked First Act stretching there capacity forcing the street team to where we operate best...the street. Countless VIP's showed up to the venue an hour prior aching to get a good seat to see The Waterboys play for well over an hour(a First Act record performance). Despite watching from the sidewalk we could still make out the faint vocals of Mike Scott and the overpowering energy from the band. All and All it was a whale of a time!!! Have a spectacular weekend. Hugs and limes.

Cold Stone was Stone Cold

Bex and 1.5 here reporting from the offical 'BOS streeteam treehouse complete with internet access which was graciously hooked up by our friends at Comcast. Today we were hanging out at Cold Stone Creamery on Brookline Avenue where fortunate souls were given free ice cream, recycled giveaways, and some information from our loyal brothern Comcast. The streets were filled with freshmen experiencing orientation and looking to get some free swag from the "college friendly" radio station 'BOS. Many entered to win our grand prize mini-fridge complete with a basket full of dorm goodies. One young lad was disgruntled that we didnt have Easy Mac but forgot all about it when he caught sight of a mini frisbee. Come on out and enter to win on September 4 at the other Cold Stone Creamery located in the heart land of Boston...Brighton. Hugs and Out

Lyrics for Life Gala @ Avalon

Hello again 'BOSers! This is Bex and last night I was lucky enough to attend the Lyrics for Life Gala held at the Avalon with one of my best friends since middle school, Carolynn. It was definitely an evening to remember. Our very own Dana Marshall hosted the event. Guests were dressed to impress and enjoyed fine dining while listening to live music from French Lick, the Alternate Routes, Pat McGee and Sister Hazel. They all played acoustic sets to an audience filled with really amazing people who all helped raise money for Lyrics for Life. Many guests were a part of the Operation Swan Dive which occurred both Saturday and Sunday. One woman did her 100th jump on Sunday with one of the members from Sister Hazel! A video of the jump was played on stage along with clips of families at Camp Sunshine. I don't think there could have been a dry eye in the entire house. However, as all true rockers do, Sister Hazel later picked up the pace and guests were moving tables in order to create a mini dance floor. A silent auction was also held to raise money for cancer research and a second live auction was held to receive tickets to a Boston Celtics game, fly first class with the team and stay at an amazing hotel. All in all, it was a truly amazing event which helped raise so much money for Lyrics for Life. I felt so privileged to be a part of this event and would like to thank all of those who took part in the event or helped raise money.

Clay Subaru @ Norwood

Hi WBOS Super Fans! This is Bex from the 'BOS Street Team and yesterday Gus and I were at Clay Subaru in Norwood! It turned out to be a great day after the mini heat wave we had been experiencing. We set up our 'BOS tent and played some favorite 'BOS tunes to all those car shoppers.

Even Gus was checking out some of the special offers! Until next time...

Operation Swan Dive

Hello fellow rockers! This is Bex from the 'BOS Street Team. Bevin and I just returned from Operation Swan Dive in Pepperell, MA! This skydiving event was to benefit an amazing non-profit charity called "Lyrics for Life." "Lyrics for Life" brings musicians and celebrities together for a series of concerts and auctions to raise awareness for serious illnesses such as cancer. Sister Hazel's front man, Ken Block, started the organization in memorial of his younger brother and the organization has turned into a large scale fight against cancer. In order to help benefit "Lyrics for Life," our very own afternoon DJ, John Laurenti, went skydiving. While John and his fellow skydivers were jumping out of planes literally over our heads and landing in the field, we were giving away all sorts of 'BOS giveaways. After their jumps, people could enjoy live music and some delicious treats. All jumpers told us that they had an amazing experience and wished that they could skydive again. This was truly an amazing event which benefits an even more worthwhile cause. You can learn more about this organization at www.lyricsforlife.org.

On behalf of the rest of the Street Team, I would like to give a shout out to Bevin, one of our summer interns. Today was Bevin's last day and we went out in style, of course. Good luck with your last year of school Bevin! Thank you for all of your help this summer! One day we will jump out of planes too!

"It's raining people!!!!"

Josh Ritter @ The Planetarium

Hello 'BOS Super Fans! This is Bex from the Street Team and last night 1.5, Jason and I got the pleasure of being at Josh Ritter's private performance at the Museum of Science. Special WBOS V.I.P. winners got into the show for FREE and even recieved free parking and passes to the planetarium complements of the super stars working at the Museum of Science. Josh was promoting his new album "The Historical Conquests of Josh Ritter" which was just released in stores TODAY! Josh and his fellow troubadours played their set inside the planetarium which was definitely a unique experience for the books. It was a great night to listen to Josh and his Idaho tunes while gazing at the stars of the Museum of Science Planetarium. Until our next far far away gig...

Hugs and Shooting Stars, 1.5, Jason & Bex

Rockin' the Boat

Bex here from the 'BOS Street Team. Mark and I just got back from the Rock and Blues Music Cruise. Tonight Chad Perrone, OSB and Tim Blane were all performing sets as a part of the WBOS Boston Music Showcase. The Rock and Blues Cruises leave from Long Wharf and cruise goers get to enjoy quality music along with a cash bar and food while the boat circles Boston Harbor. The view from the cruise is absolutely amazing and listening to some of your favorite Boston artists makes it even better. Speaking from experience, the cruises are always a guaranteed good time and if you haven't been on one yet, I would highly recommend you to check it out! All in all, Chad, OSB and Tim all rocked the boat on those harsh harbor seas. Until next time...

Hugs and Boat Rockers, Bex and Mark

Swan Song: Last Copley Show!

The 'BOS Street Team here. We just had this year's last Copley show from our Summer Concert Series at Copley Square Park! Matt Nathanson and Jonatha Brooke wrapped up the series this past Thursday. The crowd was wild for Matt Nathanson and he signed autographs and chatted with fans for nearly two hours after his set! While Matt was getting personal with the crowd, Jonatha Brooke played an amazing set during the extremely windy day. Both Matt and Jonatha are orginially from the Boston area and definitely helped represent the Boston music scene in rock and roll style. Just like a "lingering" "car crash," the music kept rocking into the night. This past Thursday was also a fellow street teamer, Amanda's, last day before leaving to start her college career this fall. We'd all like to wish Amanda luck in Pennsylvania! We will miss her Team Power! Thanks to all of those who made it out to one of our Copley Shows this summer! Until next time....

Bikes! Comcast! Wbos!

Bex and 1.5 reporting here from the secret 'BOS streeteam clubhouse. We have just arrived back from Allston where Comcast and 'BOS fused our love of radio and T.V. together to create a super "Comcastic" experience. The fortunate souls who found us were able to sign up to win a mini-fridge and basket full of tasty treats. They also walked away with a deck of cards, frisbees, and our famous cd openers. Many 'BOS listeners feel the need to not take a C.D. opener because they "don't buy C.D.s" however one unique individual informed us that "real men open C.D.s with their mind." So, with that being said are you a real man/woman?

Hugs and Out

Mark and Bex here from the 'BOS Street Team. We just got back from Water Country in Portsmouth, New Hampshire where we had our New England traveled 'BOS tent and plinko board set up to give away all sorts of prizes to people spending the day having some fun at Water Country. On such a hot day, it was definitely the perfect opportunity to enjoy the water slides or just lounge around in the wave pool and listen to some quality 'BOS tunes in the hot summer sun and toss around frisbees. Until next time...

Saving the World

Bex and 1.5 returning here from Percys, where we gave customers, taking advantage of tax free weekend, the full bodied 'BOS experience. Many Percy shoppers took the pledge: "Start Small, Save Big" campaign and recieved a free Energy Star lightbulb. Just one 15 Watt bulb replaces a 60 watt bulb and lasts up to 7 years or 10,000 hours. 'BOS listeners not only got a FREE lightbulb but also recycled keychains, pens, and frisbees. The ride back from Worcester was a long one especially because I (1.5) had my seat warmer on untill we reached Morrissey Boulevard....it's hot.

Hugs and Out. 1.5 and Bex

Newport Folk Festival

Amanda & Bex here from the WBOS Street Team! We just got back from this year's Newport Folk Festival. The lineup this year is fabulous including some favorite 'BOS artists like John Butler Trio and Grace Potter. Fans were lined up at the gates to find a perfect patch of grass on the lawn to watch this year's show. We met one very enthusiastic fan, Kevin, who couldn't wait to see the Allman Brother's perform. "Do YOU know WHO is playing today?!?" he ecstatically exclaimed on the shuttle bus that carried Folk Fans from the parking lot down to the stage along the waterfront. All in all it was a great summer day to be spent along Newport's beautiful shoreline enjoying the finest folk tunes that any ear can hear. Until next time....

Girl Power & Folk Tunes, Amanda and Bex :)

AVP @ Fenway

Bex and Jason reporting here. We were inside Fenway Park earlier tonight promoting the AVP Crocs Volleyball Tour. On the weekend of August 17th, the Marina Bay in Quincy will be holding the Volleyball Tour. Fenway fans were able to win a free pair of tickets to the Volleyball Tour by digging for buried treasure in a WBOS sandbox. It was a great summer evening for a game at Fenway and a few pleasant volleyball surprises courtesy of the 'BOS pirates. Until our ships meet again...

Peace & Pirates, Bex and Jason
