The folks at The Senator tell it like it is.

Here's The Senator's marquee as of last night...

Bill Henry won't meet with the community about the auction

Councilman Henry won't meet with the community

With a public challenge like this, will Bill Henry be able to continue to run out the clock on the auction without meeting with the community?

Don't forget to listen to the Anthony McCarthy Show on WEAA 88.9 FM this evening from 6 PM to 7 PM, when I'm sure Tom Kiefaber will comment on this and more.

No, this post isn't what Adam Meister of Examiner.com was hinting about yesterday. That's still to come. Stay tuned!

And, The Senator is having another block party this weekend, so we can finish up the painting of the sidewalk blocks. There's still a lot to be done. We had a blast painting the blocks last weekend. A lot of great volunteers came out and there was music and drumming and a good, creative time was had by all. Stop by anytime on Saturday or Sunday from about noon 'til dusk. Wear something you don't mind getting oil-based paint and turpentine on.

Hey Hon, come get down with us on the pavement!

Come re-paint The Senator's commemorative sidewalk blocks with us!

It's time for a "paint-o-rama" group effort to renew the colorful graphics of The Senator's sidewalk blocks. Weather permitting, we'll be painting on both Saturday and Sunday from Noon until dusk.

The Senator's unique commemorative "walk of fame" celebrates the theatre's rich history. We need your help to get them in shape for a prestigious visit to The Senator by The Theatre Historical Society of America's annual conclave that's coming up in early July. If you can paint within the lines and don't mind getting down with us on the concrete and getting dirty then please come join our painting party!

You'll need to bring along some old duds that you don't mind getting dirty, and you might want to bring an old blanket and/or pillow to pad the hard surfaces. We'll be painting with exterior oil-based paint, which is hard to remove from clothing, and aroma of turpentine is sure to linger. Paint and supplies will be provided, and if you have expendable paint brushes we'll put them to use.

Popcorn, soda and camaraderie will be provided for all volunteers, and beer and wine too for those 21 and over.
