Admit it, you won’t be doing that much reading this Reading Period. Or ever, actually. So why not check out the Mayfair tomorrow, Sunday May 1st, around our beloved (and increasingly dangerous) Square?

Events include “six stages of live entertainment, a charity Hair-Cut-A-Thon, Chalk on the Walk; a Dance Stage; Roaming Railroad Train Rides; A Harvard Student Activities Festival, Hot Air Balloon Rides with donations to charity, three Beer Gardens; and over one hundred thousand happy people!”

We don’t know about Boston/Harvard being happy in general, but the Fair does seem like an exciting event.

One of the hair salons participating in the Cut-A-Thon, which takes place right in front of the T stop, is Plan B Hair Salon. The cut and color boutique, whose name bears no relation to the contraceptive method, is located on 99 Mt. Auburn Street, next to Verizon Wireless. Cuts are $25 (compared to the usual price upward from $50) and 100% of the proceeds go to the Hoffman Breast Center at Mt. Auburn Hospital.

“I started this 3 years ago and have generated over $4000 for the center,” said Richard Fogarty, the salon owner. I’m a fan of the place and they recently teamed up with The Voice for a very exciting project, so the (not so) peripheral point of this post is product placement.

So there you have it, the weather will be gorgeous tomorrow, and you can feel both festive and charitable just by stepping out into the square!

P.S. Please leave Lamont at some point. You’ve probably started to smell. And someone was apparently jerking off in the 3rd floor Reading Room on Thursday night. Not okay.
