Sit down, relax, and immerse yourself in the PlayStation®Vita experience at the Vita Hill Social Club. At Vita Hill Social Club, you will be amongst first to experience PlayStation® Vita and many of its features. You will have the opportunity to play tons of PS Vita games, including SoundShapes, UNCHARTED: Golden Abyss, LittleBigPlanet, Little Deviants, WipEout 2048, ModNation Racers, Reality Fighters, and Hot Shots Golf!

All you have to bring are your hands and the desire to have fun, and we’ll provide the rest.

Join us for the grand opening of the Boston PS Vita meetup on Wednesday, 1/18! Attendees will feast on free food and beverages, have unfettered access to a dozen PS Vita titles, and enter for chances to win a PS Vita system before it hits store shelves on February 22nd. Not bad, eh? All meetups start at 5:30pm local time, ending at 8:30pm.

We even whipped up a limited-edition PS Vita T-shirt for the occasion, which will go to the first 100 people to show up to each meetup. So don’t be late!

Hope to see you next week! Oh, and bring friends!

For three years, Officer Eric Helberg has served as the city’s first homeless outreach officer, walking the city and getting to know its street dwellers, helping them however he can — from giving them a blanket to telling them where to get medical care or a free meal, offering a ride to a homeless shelter, helping long-lost relatives to reunite, or sometimes just listening to their stories.

“If you need medical care, we’ll get you to a hospital. If you need psychiatric care, I can get in touch with the outreach workers from the shelters,” Helberg said in a recent interview at Cambridge police headquarters. “We can get people into the shelter if they want to see a doctor. Clothes, bottled water, whatever it is, we’ve expanded it so we have a resource we can utilize. I think it’s been huge in getting the homeless to see us as another service provider, not just as law enforcement per se.”

On a typical day, Helberg checks various spots in East Cambridge where the homeless often congregate, then makes his way to Inman, Porter, Harvard and Central Squares. Helberg walks the city but also has access to a police wagon equipped with supplies that might be helpful. Continue Reading
