Boston -- Classic or Dirty Water?

Remy I'm sure we could. How about 8?

yeah i think i could be there by 8 or 8:30

Shay's right?

Also, how do I tell T to get there from HBS? I mean, it's right over the bridge, right?

yeah, walk over the bridge, walk straight up jfk, and look for it on the right

pretty much; when leaving the HBS campus, turn right on JFK and cross the river into Harvard Square and Shay's will be on the right once you pass the brick Harvard dorms (also on the right), I believe almost directly across the street from Wagamama

So cad... PURITY RING

Do you have a link for tix prices or should I stop being lazy and google it?

$21 bucks plus whatever horrible fees they add iirc

also the opener is that dude who sings on the record; i know nothing else abt him tho

Hmm. Can we get tix directly from the box office?

oh i apologize it is in fact 21 total (15 plus fees)

we were going to have a party but then remembered that AP and fiancee are going to be in town visiting and we may have to take them off to transportation during our usual Superbowl prep time

update: djp and i were hanging out last nite and agreed in principle to do something. details should emerge soon.

Hey, AP and his lovely fiancée are in town this weekend if anyone wants to meet them

so the last time i came to a fap was the night whitney houston died. last february. despite that, i'd like to start coming again this year if no one has a problem with that

I have a business trip to your fair city coming up in a few weeks. If I wanted to find out where there's live music going on, where would I go? Is there a good website for seeing what's on?

markers!!

craig--i usually just check venue by venue these days though other ppl may know of a good general listing. you can check what remains of our alt-weeklies at http://thephoenix.com/ and http://digboston.com/, or let me know if you're looking for something specific.

yay markers

I can only echo what cad said re: live music, with the extra caveat that there is also a very vibrant classical scene in town as well, from the big guns of the BSO, Boston Lyric Opera and Handel & Hayden to smaller chamber ensembles that pop up all over the place, including string quartets, baroque ensembles, 8 to 17 voice choirs, a myriad of tiny opera ensembles and school opera productions, etc etc. I don't have a single-stop place that lists these concerts (aside from my Facebook feed, lol) but you can try checking the music section of the "What To Do" page on http://www.boston.com

thank dudes. i'll be hanging around ilx & this thread much more going forward and if all goes well i'll be at a fap soon

me irl

Cheers cad & Dan. I was looking at that Phoenix site and realising I don't recognise any of the bands (save for Enter Shikari, lol). So I'm now just randomly trying the myspace pages of anyone listed. As for something specific, not really. I mean, I mostly listen to punk (not including Enter Shikari) and post-rock, but the last gigs I've been to were King Creosote, a friend's blues band, and a random electronic show, so I'm open to most things, particularly those that are noisy (oh, Noise would be cool too).

Just feel like if I wander randomly I'll either not find anything, or end up at a Dropkick Murphy's tribute or something.

I've been to Boston once before, again on a business trip, but I spent my 2 free nights at the Celtics and the Bruins, followed by drinking at Hurricane O'Reilly's, as it was the first bar I saw. For the work part I'm out in Dedham, but going to make sure and go more central for the weekends so I don't have to catch the last commuter train.

HEY GUYS YES LET'S DO SOMETHING SOON

Maybe next weekend or the one after that? (14th/15th or 21st/22nd)

Or, you know, whenever.

xp that is literally how everyone ends up at hurricane o'reillys

you tell me when shit's going down and i'll be there

Where is Hurricane O'Reilly's? I always wound up at the Harp or the Penalty Box which I actually used to go to by choice in the early 00s because that's where The Pill was then.

hurricane o'reillys is on the street perpendicular to causeway next to the north station t stop. so if you get off the t on that side, or walk away from the garden in that direction, it is v. likely to be the first place you see.

Maybe next weekend or the one after that? (14th/15th or 21st/22nd)

so the latter here would be better than the former i think

so it would seem of these next two weekends the only night i have free right now is 2/22. but i'm up for hanging out that night!

Yay lets do it

i'm in

really, hurricane's? we literally -make beer- like two doors down from there. walk a little farther!

you guys are always the most packed before/after events at the garden!

too true. i usually try to skulk away before the crowd hits!

btw dude djp and i were at the fenway boston beer works two wednesdays ago and brought up the fact that we still want to visit you!

You guys I work like 2 mins from there. You should have told me! I would have come out for a drink.

cool, anytime! i'll be the guy skulking around by the tanks. bump the thread or something so i knows yer coming.
