[1:08] Worcester police officer Mark Rojas’s personnel records and poetry were finally released to the T&G.

[15:27] We flip through Worcester Magazine (new look for the website!) and the InCity Times.

[17:35] A cop car gets towed.

[17:48] Mike finds the T&G and WoMag calendars too general to be helpful.

[20:17] Gabe to new WoMag editor Danny Cross: “Who is your target demographic?”

[21:19] Ailing Worcester blogger Jeff Barnard was profiled in Dianne Williamson’s column this week.

[23:50] Cha-Cha’s band is playing the Hotel Vernon Saturday night.

[24:24] Somebody is hammering something.

[25:19] Mike speaks to “general negativity on the internet.” Everyone becomes unaccountably positive.

[27:26] Mike is going to see the opera. (Update: He loved it. You too can see Worcester Opera Works’ production of Die Fledermaus Saturday or Sunday.)

Screw you, Worcester. I’m gonna have a great summer.
