Friday, May 28 - Our concierge at the Back Bay Hotel recommended we check out The Beehive for a drink and some live jazz. He said that it was a great hangout for "people our age." ...Hmmmm... But, OK. He was right. Good vibe with a band playing Cuban jazz.As we were sitting a the bar, we both noticed a line of what looked like vintage food cans on a 
shelf along the ceiling. I didn't look that closely, but then Sandy noticed what the cans said: "Raisin Brain." "Rump Roast." "Bartlett Ears." "100% Pure Cold Blood." And the labels are pretty darn funny. It turns out that they are the work of a contempory artist from Boston by the name of Jeffu. The bio on his website says that he has "managed making a career out of playing with his food." And, you too can own some of these cans. Just go to the SuperJEFFUmarket on his website, where you can also purchase cans of Raw Nerves, Thousand Year Old Ego, and Unresolved Guilt.

Madeline here! Wow, this looks like so much fun. I love experimenting with new foods. Things back here aren't as exciting. In fact, they are pretty humdrumlin. My mommy once lived down the street from the Back Bay Hotel! She regularly tied a few on at several Back Bay establishments right up until closing time.
