OK I am so not getting anything done there anymore. Not because of that video - haven't watched it yet - but because M0rg@n Freem@n a lot better at acting than tattooing. I will accompany friend but will stick to the guy i know.

holy crap that video! :/

yeah i had the volume turned down on it, this was on the news a few nights ago. What did the kid do? Worcester is filled with meat heads and wanna be jersey shore types.

Good idea.

Aside from Ralph's the only bar I've ever been at in Worcester was a gay club so I'm pretty sure the clientele wasn't v representative of Worcester ppl on the whole.

nope not at all. its like boston's new jersey out here. granted i am not in worcester, but right outside of it...but i've dealt with worcester shitheads my entire life. thats why i don't go out anymore and if i do its to three places.

id like to make it up to one of these from ct and can maybe do the 12th; early-ish would be cool so i can cut myself off at some pt & get outta town

Yay! Def try to come if you can. It would be great to meet you. :)

Oh Markers is in too.

yeah dude come on up!

ok! we'll see, would be good 2 meet yall

well my wife didn't bitch...im in.

:)

Dan pls to update us regarding your availability at your earliest convenience.

Also - REMY!!!

ha ok so here is the deal:

I am free on the 12th, BUT I have a long day of singing the next day, so I kind of can't go hard like I want to

:)

Next time though we're planning it so that you don't have to worry about next day commitments, deal?

OK so roll call?

I'm mainly wondering about the out of town ppl because if you all are still planning on coming it'll make sense for us to meet somewhere nearest the train station. Or are you driving?

Anyway, who's in?

HOLLA

im out unfortunately. Fucking in-laws coming.

Hey Erica, how was the trip to Worcester.

awwwww

Aw, that sucks. next time!

Worcester was good! We had lunch at a Thai place in White City. Sorta took a gamble and did end up getting the tattoo done because I really wanted it and it was such a simple thing I figured it would be hard to fuck up. Thankfully it turned out really well. :)

i can still come!
yea driving so obv wont drink that much. maybe somewhere where parking isnt too killer

:D

Parking. OK we will take that into consideration. Markers will prob drive too.

yeah you guys seem to do this on a semi-regular basis anyways...plus if the next time is in the spring than we can drink outside! my favorite.

very true - it's p much the best

hey i just realized this will be the second time that CAD, JC and I will be in the same room only this time we'll know it!

maybe we can book japandroids for the day

w love to kiw them tbh - so cute!

yeah they seem like bros

tell me some good outdoor drinking places in boston, since there were zero when i lived there.

hmmmmm

tbh there aren't that many! First that comes to mind is Charlies Kitchen in Harvard Square which put in a huge beer garden a couple years ago. I haven't actually been there tho because I used to work there and it sort of weirds me out now. Hmmmm where else?

most places with outdoor seating make you eat food due to stupid zoning laws, so I don't think anyplace in the municipality of Boston has this unless it's like in a fully-enclosed area away from the street

ah see out here we have a few beer gardens. the dive comes to mind as one of the best.

and also my back yard...which a few years ago a buddy and I made a corner of my yard into a beer garden complete with lights. last year I added some polk audio outdoor speakers...its about as close to heaven as i can get. all i need now is a recliner.

OK so what time were you all thinking?

Also, what about Tavern at the End of the World? The place we went to watch the game that time? It's cute and has its own parking lot and should be easy for everyone to get to provided there aren't any parades in Somerville that day.

that would work for me. someone could even pick markers up in sullivan square if he wanted to t it. he is still coming right?

Yep, think so. He is "taking a break from ILX" so asked me to msg him on FB. I'll do that once we agree on a place. I have to pass Sullivan Square on the way there so am more than happy to pick him up. He might drive tho - he did last time.

sometimes, i wish my inlaws would stay home.

give me a time, I will drop by

guys i hate boston

i know somerville decently, or at least did ~5 yrs ago, so im cool w/ that

guys i hate boston

lol you've read my previous posts on this thread, right

When I first moved here I hated Boston too but that has changed.

It's technically in Charlestown but really close to Somerville. Should be pretty easy to get to. Address on the website.

What time works for you guys? I can do whenever.

I love boston and loved it even more when I spent 7 years there. Miss it. Well mainly I miss being able to walk out my front door into a bar.

Man, I just read through some of the first part of this thread. People really hate Boston! I got all defensive and was going to post a big thing about why I don't hate it anymore and why a lot of the stuff said here is wrong but I don't have the energy. It's OK Boston, I still love you.

so many butthurt ppl up there

lol i know

well i'll be in town april 23rd for the mogwai show at paradise if anyone wants to meet up before hand.

"Foreplay / Long Time" is Classic.

Right so what time?

JC and DP you're the ones coming from far away/w commitments the following day - would 4pm be OK?

fine with me

I just realized I will likely have to pace/lightweight it because I'm not just singing, I'm singing in a solo quartet (oops) so maybe you all have been saved from Jaegerbombs
