\"Rice<\/a>For those of you who\u00a0know\u00a0Rice Wales<\/span>, the Marketing & Events Guru over at Boston Magazine,<\/strong> you\u00a0know she’s always skirting off to some fun, glamourous or hip-happening event.<\/p>\n

Today she sent me an unexpected surprise, an email listing a diverse mix of local artists, tasty treats and cool happenings around town this weekend. I couldn’t resist putting her enticing info to max use. So in turn, I requested she appear here today as our very first Guest Blogger<\/span><\/strong> and in perfect Rice fashion she said, “I’d love to!”<\/p>\n

If you need something fun to do in and around Boston this coming weekend, check out\u00a0her top picks for The Weekend Sweet Spot<\/em><\/span> and maybe we’ll see you there!\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n


\nThe Weekend Sweet Spot<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/strong>
\nby guest blogger Rice Wales<\/span><\/em><\/span>
\nOctober 20th & 21st<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"FortFort Point Open Studios Sat\/Sun 12-6:<\/strong>
\nTwice a year, the Fort Point arts community opens its doors to the public… lots of fun stuff to check <\/span>\u00a0<\/span>out.\u00a0For those interested, check out the list of studios that are open and the list of events.
\nThe studios are open Sat\/Sun 12-6pm.<\/span>
\nhttp:\/\/www.fortpointarts.org\/posts\/fall-open-studios\/\"RW<\/a><\/p>\n

For those who have music in their souls, I love this dance spot idea … it will be peppered <\/span>throughout the Fort Point area:<\/span>\u00a0 http:\/\/www.fortpointarts.org\/posts\/public-<\/a>art-fall-2012\/<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Rib Fest Sun 12-4<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

\"Smoke<\/a>Sunday 12-4pm (thanks to my friend Jade for the idea!) \u2028<\/span>
\nAccess is fre
\ne and looks like there is food there but if you want to eat and vote on the ribs, you have to pay. Tickets are $20. I\u2019ll be there and will be bringing my wetnaps! Purchase tickets and support this great event at:<\/span> http:\/\/www.eastc
\nambridgeba.com\/Smoke-This-Rib-Fest.html<\/a><\/p>\n

The classic HEAD OF THE CHARLES Sat-Sun all day:<\/strong><\/span>
\nWith sun expected on Sunday, I\u2019ll probably leave this to the end of the weekend.\u00a0 The races run from 8am until 4:45 on Sunday.<\/span>
\nhttp:\/\/hocr.org\/the-2012-regatta\/spectators\/weld-exhibition\/<\/a><\/p>\n

SOWA Sun 10-4:<\/strong> \u2028<\/span>
\n<\/a>
\nThere are only 2 Sundays left for SOWA to be open. I also want to attend this \u2026 how will I fit it all in?\u2028<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0 <\/em><\/span>http:\/\/www.sowaop<\/a>enmarket.com\/<\/a>
\n(ABBY: 2 weeks?! I am definitely getting over for the final shows!)<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\"SOWA<\/a><\/p>\n

A Good Plan & Tip – Be sure to have a weather app handy:<\/span>\u00a0<\/strong>
\n“I always have a weather app open on my phone so it looks like the early weather report forecast is rain for Saturday and sun on Sunday.\u00a0 So I’m thinking… check out the art exhibit Saturday afternoon and go out on the town afterward.\u00a0 And then hit RIBFEST on Sunday as my friend\u2019s \u201cKelly’s Sunday Night Dinner\u201d then probably visit the Head of the Charles in the morning on Sunday. If the weather is nice, it’s a nice walk from the Back Bay!” Rice Wales, Marketing Director – Boston Magazine.<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Head<\/a><\/p>\n

Thanks for the above suggestions Rice and for making your very first Guest Appearance <\/em>on my blog!\u00a0 I am looking forward to many more. I hope you enjoy the above visit from the fabulous, and ever in-the-know, Rice Wales.\u00a0 Feel free to let us know any other great events happening (this weekend or any other) and I’ll be sure to help spread the word!<\/p>\n
