Paul McCartney Concert Paints Boston Red, White and Blue

Last night Paul McCartney wrapped up the Boston portion of his touring extravaganza.  According to one of our savvy spotters, he decided to paint the town red, white and blue by launching confetti into the air during his two encores.  Apparently the confetti also went on a touring extravaganza of its own – not only through Fenway Park, but down Comm. Ave as well!

Sadly this SavvyBostonian missed the show, but imagine it must have been quite the party for the lucky concert goers!  Might not have been so fun for the city of Boston to clean up afterward, but I think the city is probably used to gobs of confetti at this point after so many victory parades :).

BOSTON, NIGHTLIFE

Improper Bostonian Rocks Foundation Room at The House of Blues

Last Thursday I attended the Improper Bostonian’s bash at Foundation Room, a member’s only club inside the new House of Blues on Lansdowne Street. Not to be confused with Foundation Lounge in the Hotel Commonwealth, Foundation Room is an upper-level restaurant and lounge space. The interior is warm and inviting with an eclectic (perhaps Moroccan?) décor. It has a nice balcony overlooking Lansdowne Street and a private entrance into the House of Blues concert venue.

While I really enjoyed Foundation Room, I heard rumors that membership fees start around $2,500, which means that this Savvy Bostonian will not be joining their elite ranks. It’s too bad, because if this club was open to the public as a lounge, it would be extremely popular with Boston’s trendy young professional scene.

Although I may never walk into Foundation Room again, I must give Kudos to the Improper Bostonian for giving us a glimpse into a hot new venue and attracting the hip twenty to thirty-sometime crowd that attended. As if you would have expected anything else from the Improper Bostonian! I’ve been to a few Improper Bostonian parties in my day, but this was my favorite one to date.
