Boston -- Classic or Dirty Water?

I will need to play this by ear now; J just got sick from a bad sinus infection with allergy complications and, depending on how she's doing by the weekend, I may be playing nurse

blech. let's do something harvard-near. that way some of us can take public transit. supper + drinks sound good?

mid-afternoon works well too, and i am a lazy shit so maybe i wont crap out

Dinner and drinks sounds good. Sean if you aren't free for dinner u can come later? Markers u in?

It supposed to be in the upper 70s so maybe char lies beer garden will be ope!

Excuse typos pls my nails are wet and I am on m iPad.

charlie's sounds good

Markers u in?

in

i will do my best to make part of this--just keep me posted on expected arrival time

OK - taking this to FB for details. Anyone else decides to come hit me up and I'll let you know what's happening.

HEY

I have a concert on Sunday at 5 at King's Chapel, if anyone is looking for something to do besides watching football. It's an hour of choral music, followed by a short walk across the Common to a wine and cheese reception. We're doing stuff by Distler, Schütz and Brahms. I think the tickets are $15?

so

tomorrow at 6, J and I are singing in a concert that is the last movement of Beethoven's 9th Symphony done in a chamber setting; it's a choir of 16 people with piano accompaniment with the requisite 4 soloists etc

It will be at Harvard Business School at the Class of 1959 Chapel; afterward we will likely be going to John Harvard's Brewhouse to go "holy fuck we just did that, are we fucking insane"

while i am unable to attend, this sounds really cool! i gather it is an unconventional arrangement?

Very cool! Knock 'em dead.

It's a piano reduction done by Liszt

also I found out last night that our pianist will be playing the first three movements in their entirety

so how did it go??

It went really well! I need to go back to taking voice lessons though, all of the high stuff totally killed me and I couldn't actually sing most of it. There was an archival recording made of it that I hope to get my hands on.

I knew the bass soloist from an Opera Boston show and Joei knew the soprano soloist from a show she did several years ago.

GUESS WHOSE WIFE IS SINGING THE NATIONAL ANTHEM WITH A SMALL GROUP AT THE RED SOX GAME ON THE 14TH

Nice!

Aw, really?? That's awesome, D!

also, if someone can take out a bass before the 14th, GUESS WHICH ILX POSTER WILL BE SINGING THE NATIONAL ANTHEM WITH A SMALL GROUP AT THE RED SOX GAME ON THE 14TH

hahaha

Sam McPheeters has things to say:

If I was a city planner, what I would do is send a team of architects to Boston with instructions to do the opposite #fuck #hate #war #blood

i don't know who that is but he can get the fuck outta here.

(had this bookmarked during my vacation to say to dan that that news is so cool!)

Boston -

I will be up in your shit in May. I'm getting together with cad on the night of Wednesday, May 9th for brews and chews. I would love to meet some of the crew I never met when I lived merely hours away.

We don't have a location yet, but I'm going to be leering at people in the Harvard Square area all day so if that works for people I'll just stay into the evening.

;_;

I am going to be away then

;_;

drink many beers in my name

Damnit! I was hoping to finally meet you.

I'll try not to take it personally.

;_;

I hope you're out of town doing something cool. Are you gone all week? Because I might have some time on a different day that I could free up for a cup of coffee or a quick beer or two.

yeah I'm out of town all week... in Bangkok

so I could meet you there...?

only for a quick beer or two.

But have fun in Bangkok!

Wait hold on

Dan's going off to reenact The Hangover Part II by himself, I know it.

I assumed studying up for a Chess revival.

Though a Tyson tattoo isn't out of the question.

bangkok???

So, I'm in town 17th to 21st May. FAP Boston?

i have a thing on the 19th but otherwise i'm around

Yeah, Absolutely. Pretty sure any of those days are clear as of right now. What are you in town for, Aldo?

Just for a weekend break, using up some free flight miles. Frances and I have been independently so it seemed like a plan. No real ideas for what to do at all but was intending to take the train to Providence RI one day and to Newburyport/Salem another (OH NOES HPL fanboy alert).

Obviously if there's anything on I should know about then that's a bonus.

Human placental lactogen?

Anyone want to join call all destroyer and I for drinks and/or dinner next Wednesday night?

lots of boston visitors this may!

jergins and i will be there next weekend, may 11 to 14, and would fancy some pints with interested bostonians. probably sunday evening is best for us. webmail me if you're into the idea. <3

;_; enjoy all of these drinks, by next weekend I will be in Taipei

wait, I'm gonna be in Taipei ^_^

Yes! I would like to meet all these Ezs and Lxys and Jergins! :) Lxy I will webmail. Sean let's coordinate for ez visit. Dan, what? U are going to taiwain?

Yay! Dan's missing out on all the fun.

:D

To fun, not to dan missing it obv.

That was what I was cheering. Not happy I'm missing out on meeting Dan after all these years.
