Big Day for Music


This past week had been a BIG week in the music industry! First, for all you rock fans out there,
Van Halen announced that they are going on tour with David Lee Roth for the first time in 20 years! To give you an idea of how important this is, think of it like this--David Lee Roth was the '80s version of Pete Wentz. Since the band has had a revolving door of lead singers, we'll have to watch and see how this plays out. I'm hoping for the best!
Then, My Chemical Romance announced their Spring '07 tour dates, and they're visiting beautiful Worcester, MA! May 8 at the DCU Center.
Fall Out Boy's new album comes out today, and they are also visiting MA--May 31 at the Tweeter Center. Click here for tickets.

Finally, tonight, Justin Timberlake is performing at the Garden in Boston. I'm so jealous of any of you out there who have tickets. I haven't seen him in concert since his 'NSYNC days.(5 times!!!)

College Funding Seminar

We're hosting a college planning seminar for all you college bound kids and parents. Straight from the press release:

"Learn the hidden financial traps before it’s too late, when applying for financial assistance that can end up costing you thousands of out-of-pocket dollars. Discover strategies that can save you big bucks, such as: the right way to position your assets to maximize aid, how to send your child to an expensive private university for less than a state school, or how to pick colleges that will give you the best financial packages.

This powerful workshop will guide parents through the process of college funding, from FAFSA applications to student aid reports, with descriptions of all the major grants and loans.

While this seminar is aimed primarily at upperclassmen and their parents, a note to parents of high school sophomores is in order: Now is the ideal time to arrange your finances in order to get the most financial aid possible, before your “base years” arrive!

This seminar will be repeated on March 6, April 11 and May 9. Call College Funding Architects at 800-975-6108 to register for the evening of your choice, or call the Library at 508-842-0081."
