You could call the Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University, I know that they grow bamboo there and they'll probably know something about it's pests & whether they can stand your winters. The Plant Information Hotline is 617.524.1718 x 127, but it's only open on Mondays from 1 to 3 PM. You could perform a Google Local search by typing in the word Arboretum along with your town name & Massachusetts, i.e. "arboretum, boston, ma", to turn up an Arboretum that's closer to you.
