PHOTOGRAPHY BY JOSHUA LAVINE (BANNED); SCOTT ERB AND GLENN PERRY (A FAB AFFAIR) Banned in Boston This year's Banned in Boston started with dizzying fun when Governor Deval Patrick took his wife, Diane, for a spin onstage at the House of Blues. KISS 108's morning radio host Matt Siegel served as emcee for the one-night-only musical comedy revue, which raised more than $600,000 for the nationally acclaimed violence prevention program Urban Improv. This year's lineup included Aerosmith rocker Tom Hamilton (who participates in Banned in Boston every year), Jenny Johnson, Attorney General Martha Coakley, candidate for governor Charlie Baker, WGBH's Emily Rooney, Harvard Men's Basketball Coach Tommy Amaker, and the COO of the Boston Red Sox, Sam Kennedy. The audience and performers enjoyed a reception at The Lansdowne Pub before the event and a rollicking post-show bash in the Foundation Room. A Fab Affair Bell bottoms, love beads, and daisy headbands replaced three-piece suits and proper skirts for some 300 architects and designers who showed up at Clarke Distribution's official Sub-Zero and Wolf Showroom and Test Kitchen for the company's Designer Appreciation Night. In the Clarke Amphitheater, guests watched a video clip of Ed Sullivan from his iconic TV show in the '60s introducing "those lads from London." The night topped off with a Beatles tribute band launching into the classic hit "She Loves You." Tom Hamilton, Julia Van Daam, Deval Patrick, and Susan Cohen Julie Sabbagh, Sean Clarke, Heather Kahler, and Christian Sanchez Peace and Love accessories kept everyone in a groovy mood.
