#NightlyDig Rockie Fresh + Lunice | @DigBoston @LeedzEdu

Rockie Fresh + Lunice Nebraska Screening ft. Will Forte + Bruce Dern | Savage LoveCast View this email in your browser NIGHTLY DIG Rockie Fresh & Lunice @ Middle East Upstairs Chicago and Montreal come together at Middle East Upstairs tonight, in the form of rapper Rockie Fresh and DJ Lunice. Rockie brings an alt rock vibe to his rhymes (he's friends with Joel and Benji Madden, has toured with Fall Out Boy, and cites them as major influences) while Lunice has transformed from a b-boy to a sick DJ and producer who's worked with big names like Diplo and Azaelia Banks. What we're basically trying to say is that you need to go to this show. [472 Mass Ave., Cambridge. 7pm/all ages/$18. @rockiefresh. @Lunice. mideastclub.com] Today on DIGBOSTON.COM Poll Glancing.

Check me out on WGBH's Greater Boston talking with host Emily Rooney and Boston Globe reporter Wesley Lowery about how the Mayor's race is playing out in communities of color. 

The clock is ticking down to the Boston mayoral election. In just five days, voters will choose between John Connolly and Marty Walsh. And while they've worked overtime to differentiate themselves, there's no getting around the fact that both candidates are white men of Irish descent.

Two Things I Know About This Mayoral Election

1) Many more Bostonians wish for John Connolly to be our next mayor than they do Marty Walsh.

2) Darn near 100% of Walsh supporters will cast their vote next Tuesday.

I have a great number of friends who, by and large, are disinterested in politics. And in 2013, who could blame them? I also know that these people, faced with a choice of Walsh or Connolly to run their city, would choose Connolly every time. They appreciate the sophistication gap, they sense John's executive acumen is likely superior than Walsh's and they recognize the more likely change agent is going to be someone like John Connolly, and not someone backed by entrenched special interests.

If you fall in the camp characterized above, for goodness sake, VOTE. If you know people like this, GET THEM TO VOTE. It is absolutely essential in this election.

John Connolly is Boston's clear choice to be its next mayor. He only will be, though, if enough of us make sure our voice is heard next Tuesday.

Which mayoral candidate has more Adorable Kids ® in their latest ad - Marty Walsh or John Connolly?

ELEVATE Boston is meeting with both candidates over the next week to discuss their plans to elevate our city, addressing health equity, economic equity and community safety. Be sure to read the ELEVATE pledge for candidates, to be presented at those meetings!

THE SECOND MAYORAL GAUNTLET

John Connolly and Marty Walsh go toe-to-toe in our second of the GBC's mayoral debate parodies.

This is a real thing in the world.

At least we know tonight's debate won't look like this.
