SOMERVILLE WRITER’S FESTIVAL @ THE ARMORY

While Moleskines are pretty standard issue in Somerville, along with your complimentary tongue stud and cardigan, it may come as some surprise to find that there are some ‘ville residents who actually write things for a living. Seriously, they don’t have to pick up morning shifts at coffee shops or anything! Well, maybe a few on weekends, but still. Beats the hell out of “accidentally” leaving your notepads around town, huh? The Somerville Writer’s Festival over at the Armory honors those blessed few who make their rent ruining a perfectly good sheet of paper. [191 Highland Ave., Somerville. 617.718.2191. begins at 11:30am, performance at 7pm/free. artsatthearmory.org]
