Dr. Nicole Alexander-Scott, head of the RI Department of Health, today recommended that everyone wear cloth masks when in public. But it isn’t easy to find one. No problem! Keep it calm and sew on! If you’re missing some materials necessary that’s okay. Time to get resourceful. If you don’t have any fabric, use an […]
I sat down with Tony Pacitti and Matt Ferrara at the What Cheer Writer’s Club podcasting studio, right before they were about to record their latest episode of “What Did We Miss?,” A pop-culture podcast that’s smart and well-researched, and takes a much-needed optimistic approach to art and culture in a time where people will […]
If you happened to be near Angell Street on Saturday night, you might have heard the sound of an active volcano covering a house in lava. “The minute we agreed to do it, I knew it was going to get way out of hand, but anything to tire them out, you know?” When you’re in […]
“If we didn’t pick rooms, we were headed for divorce.” I’ll admit that it’s a little strange writing a Man About Town column when nobody is allowed out on the town, but luckily for me, I still have people reaching out to tell me how they’re handling things during this time of quarantine.

In 1997, Trevor O’Driscoll graduated from Brown University with a bachelor’s degree in history. […]
In 2019, “Saturday Night Live” aired a skit about an Irish date show that portrayed contestants as inbred knuckleheads with a reduced worldview and a propensity toward marrying their cousins. And it stood out like a sore thumb. Stereotypes are increasingly being shunned as the lowest form of humor, and remarkable progress has been made […]
“Nobody can ever find the house. Back in the days before cell phones, I’d have to be on the landline for half the night talking to people calling in from pay phones. ‘No, you missed it. It’s the first right, then another right.’ Half of them would give up and go home. Once GPS and […]

Co, an organization dedicated to hosting “thoughtfully curated events allowing humans to connect,” are joining together to present Gang de Filles: An International Women and Non-Binary Celebration. This is […]
