hi there, it's been a while since i updated this sidebar. i operate under the assumption that most people look at tumblr via their dashboard, but rest assured one of my friends will gchat me tomorrow telling me that they read this.

my name is roger and i play bass in a band called Pretty & Nice. We have a new record coming out soon. I also draw comics and post them here on tumblr and also over at iamtherog.com. I also post things that I think are funny and sometimes get retweeted by people i know over at my twitter. this tumblr is mostly pictures and videos of a cats and various other non-sequiturs .

boston.com - MBTA budget gap proposals: fare increase + discontinuation of ferries, weekend service on commuter, Green E & mattapan lines.

also commuter rail service after 10pm on weekdays.

Look forward to some more cars in Boston folks!

I feel they do this every once in a while to get people to think about how important a service the MBTA provides, get people riled the fuck up, businesses in the city to complain (how would people get home from sox/celtics/patriots games? restaurants counting on commuter rails to get people to spend money, etc), and in the end, get more funding/find a resolution that isn’t even nearly as bad as these proposals. Lets hope I’m right about that.

I just really don’t know if I can be that optimistic. I’m sure the argument they’ll make is that they’ll “hold the last commuter rail train until the red sox/bruins/celtics” game is done, but completely discontinuing it on the weekend? Let alone the entire Mission Hill/Northeastern/Wentworth/Mass Art community and anyone who wants to visit the MFA on a weekend. I just don’t know if the MBTA actually cares about what anyone thinks.
