Boston -- Classic or Dirty Water?

we meeting up later today y'all?

whitey bulger, eat shit!

I can't meet up, sadly.

grrr stupid intersting 77 thread messing me up

Yeah I assumed it was a no go since nobody responded. We suck at this!

o i was kind of assuming we were doing it

hah, ok well another time then.

What the

Eh, it's Fall River, they have dead bodies all over the place

Might explain why the kid wasn't bothered.

it's the third iirc

anyone thinking about going to the Walt Mink show at TT the Bear's tomorrow

right now I am about 90% sure I'm going, assuming there are still tickets (lol "Walt Mink SOLD OUT!!!!!")

Walt mink is still around ? Holy shit

it's a reunion tour, I don't know if it's the original lineup or the lead singer w/ new ppl

Blast from my past. Wow. Gonna have to look for bareback ride on spotify

I already looked; they have Colossus...

Think I still have the cd. It's one of the ones I take over and over again to Newbury comics to sell and it always ends up in my return to me pile

YO COME TO TT'S

last time i was there was in 2007 4 marine stern iirc

I'm sorry I missed this thread! I flew to Boston for that show! Partly because I've never been to Boston and a friend has been inviting me to visit for years, and partly because I couldn't pass up the chance to see them one more time. They did two shows in Minneapolis in 2005, which Chris Butler filmed for a documentary (still working on it). I thought that would be my last chance to hear them, but bassist Candice, who got her Ph.D. in public health at Harvard and is a professor at Boston U, just wanted to rock. So John came from L.A., they got together with their third and last drummer Zach, had two long rehearsals, and freakin' blew the roof off T.T. the Bears. Great to hear some old favorites that brought me back to the basement shows they played when we were at Macalester. I was tempted to go to Brooklyn for their second show, but wanted to catch up with friends and explore Boston (loved it). So just two shows for fun, but they had a blast and maybe they'll do it again and not wait six years before next time.

x-post

Last time I was there was probably 2007 too - for the Thermals, I think. I like TTs a lot though. They have a dance thing on Friday night (maybe Sat idk) that I want to check out but I'm pretty sure everyone there will be like 12 and annoying so I haven't yet.

I enjoyed the eats too. Middle East before the TT show, Island Hopper (Malaysian), Redbone's (BBQ), a lobster roll at James Hook, and Legal Seafood.

Yeah I ate at the mid east recently and it was surprisingly good!

aw dude, wish I'd known you were there, I would have said hi (I was the black guy) (lol)

I got to talk to all three of them and was totally effusive and gushy. They are better musicians than half the pro classical ppl I know.

I lost my fucking mind when they did "Croton-Harmon"

Yeah, it's incredible how tight they were with just two practices in six years, heh. I do remember seeing you talking to John Kimbrough actually! I was wearing the black UFOmammut t-shirt with two women kissing (on shirt, not real life), and was headbanging some in front.

so a meet up soon or what? preferably when i dont have my son.

I'm up for whenever as long as I'm around

i'm in

As it turns out a hoos is gonna be in the house on Saturday Oct 1st. Let's do this!

lol of course, that is a time when I will not be around

;_; I still have mIo to inflict upon unsuspecting beers (dry runs show that you only need like a DROP of the stuff btw)

DAN!

Well I def want to see who is around when hoos is here cause we'll be hanging out regardless but would be awesome for others to come.

When are u around in Oct Dan? We might as well plan non hoos fap now too.

more than a feeling

As it turns out a hoos is gonna be in the house on Saturday Oct 1st. Let's do this!

lmao i think i'm gonna be in boston the weekend of oct 1st as well

i wound up flying in and out of boston this weekend instead of hartford (i've still flying up to CT for work every week, as i have for the past year or so) - it was as much of a bummer to wake up in JP today and have to drive out to logan as i was when i actually moved away for good a couple years ago. that first real day of fall is like my #1 favorite thing about new england

YEAH! Today is the best. I am so loving this weather it's not even funny.

OK so the questions are

Sat Oct 1st Hoos FAP - who's in? Dan it would be great if you could come!

Other than that when else is good for people?

Oh and I meant GYA Dan and not DJP there cause we already know he can't. ;_;

i'm in for hoos fap

i should be around on the first. the only weekend in oct where i'm not around at all is the 22nd/23rd

can't make it that weekend - driving to maine w. my parents.

cant do the hoos fap! damn it. I can do the 8th, or 22nd.

I can't do the 22nd either

since hoos fap presumably has to happen on the 1st, why don't we just have that on that day and then have a second boston fap on a day that everyone can do, whether that's in october or november or whenever?

per usual, i have nothing going on, so i can probably meet whenever

just have to time it when i don't have my son.

sure!

Markers that's exactly what I was saying we should do - plan two FAPS.

October 1st def on. Will write you and sean on FB.

Dan can you do the 8th?

I suppose I could stomach hanging out with M and CAD two weeks in a row.

I will need to get back to you on the 8th as that will be J's birthday weekend; tentatively yes but I don't know what she has planned with other folks yet.
