Boston -- Classic or Dirty Water?

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.

Going to Bangkok, Taipei and Tokyo! Pretty stoked about it too

oh wow, djp, have a great time! we'll catch you next time. also unfortunate that your wife's banner singing is on monday; we're going to the game on saturday.

enbb, yay!

v cool that so many of yall are coming here

I was confused at first but my wife sang April 14 (the day after the home opener) so sadly you would have missed her regardless; she said the renos they've done on Fenway make it much much nicer now though so enjoy!

Dan - when are you taking off for Southeast Asia?

tomorrow! EXCITED

btw if any of my shit is missing when I get back, I'm going to be blaming all y'all

I have a free day so pillaging and plundering may occur.

have a blast dan!

^^^Ditto. Enjoy your trip!

sorry to miss you djp, but those are three great cities. taipei underrated and really fun

Looking forward to tonight. Hope a bunch of people come out to wherever call all destroyer has picked as a meeting point.

By the way, where are we meeting?

I'm up for whenever. Might be in NYC this Saturday, but otherwise free. E/CAD loop me into the emails?

ok feelin the pressure now and sending you guys an email momentarily

I just emailed you all. I am being non-committal and for that I apologize because it's something that really annoys me in others but I'm SO FREAKING TIRED. :/ Hoping to rally this afternoon.

i'm headed into h-square in about 20 minutes; should i just meet you all @ inman instead?

Hey lxy I just webmailed u!

Remy I think Sean and Eric are heading to inman from Harvard so maybe text him? See u soon!

Thanks so much for coming out everybody! Absolute pleasure meeting you all.

likewise. i called my mom to tell her about the horrible waitress that pretended not to know me, and my mother asked if the waitress might have put the corndog 'on her rear end' after confirming that it was the girl who hit my car in 1997.

that reads like fucking surrealist poetry w/o proper context.

hahahahah

Yeah, that was fun. Sorry we weren't livlier - it's been a long couple of weeks. Remy that thing with the waitress was so weird.

That story alone made it worth the trip from Dallas.

lol

OK, any plans/preferences/whatever for next weekend? We land Thursday afternoon and leave Tuesday afternoon, so open to ideas. Staying in Park Plaza, so can do pretty much anywhere. Unlikely to have much internet access after Thursday morning UK time, can pass on cell number if people want it.

i'm up for anything, just let me know.

Hi Aldo! So here's the deal. Benson the pug is being fixed on Friday so I think that night is out. Assuming things go well with the op then Saturday night would probably be fine. Are others around on Sat night? Park Plaza is a good location. Very central.

Saturday sounds fine for me, just let me know where and when and I'll find it. I am a veteran of Glasgow indecision, so I am waiting for you all to say "Not MONO", or whatever the Boston equivalent is.

Best wishes for Benson!

I've been informed that we are attending a birthday party Saturday night.

How is Sunday for everyone then? I know it's a school night, but...

sunday is lookin better for me; i have a party on saturday night too

Sunday it is then - call the place and time.

I need to recheck my email but I think we might be singing for a dying man on Sunday. For real. I know that sounds like a horrible excuse.

OK, you are all more like Glasgow than I could have imagined.

It seems like Sunday is the best night, pending Dan's possible engagement, as we should know the state of play with Benson by then.

I will be leaving at about 10am UK time tomorrow with only sporadic access after that, however

1) the ILX email is good and I will definitely be checking that
2) you can SMS or call me on

All I need to know is time and place. I can fit in. By the same token, if Dan fancies brunch or whatever outside of the FAP to fit his other commitments then advance notice can probably make this happen.

I think Sunday should be good!

Dan - think you'll be able to come out? We could go to the place where we met Ljubjana at? It's right by Aldo's hotel.

where is dis place?

The place where they met Ljubjana at, next to where they met ljapplje and ljkiwji.

lljol

ha well I was thinking of this place http://www.flashscocktails.com/drinks.html but it's closed on Sundays. Damn.
