Boston -- Classic or Dirty Water?

Meadhall might be good but is it really really loud? I am old and the hearing is going and remember that time we went to Public House and we couldn't hear shit? Hmmmmm.

lord hobo is great but yeah, it's kind of weird to get to and if it's packed you have to go a ways to find someplace else. good option if we were meeting up on the earlier side, but if we are meeting up let's say after 7 it might be risky. i have never been to meadhall.

i am still up for hanging out on friday btw.

I've only been to Meadhall once and I remember a lot of background noise, but it wasn't like My-Bloody-Valentine-concert loud

I should be okay for Friday I think? I have a random concert on Saturday so it will have to by necessity be a low-key evening for me drinkingwise

whether i'll be a this or not is up in the air, but i'll write back soon to say what's happening either way

Right so, Mead Hall?

What time? After work?

that would be my vote

yup yup

OK LET'S DO IT.

RS will be there too and I may see if Kevin and Tina are free and want to stop by.

:D

i'm coming

this place isn't hard for me to get to

So what time do you guys think you'll get there? Friday afternoons are DEAD here. I can leave at 4:30ish and be there around 5:15.

hopefully in the 5:30 - 5:45 range

ill be leaving from home early to go to the mit bookstore and will then head over

I expect to be there between 5:30-6:00

J will be coming from Harvard Square so she'll either be there before me or an hour after me, lol

Anyone for 3-16? I'm ready

Yes its really me, and I want to drink beer

Yeah, that would be fun. The 16th would work for me.

I think I shall rent myself a hotel room

boo I have rehearsal the next day

A beer two won't hurt

Ok so how's about Friday

I am the flexible

i don't think i can do the 16th but could prob do the 15th

So, I was expecting to meet up with a friend in Boston tonight, but he's working crazy hours. As a result, looks like I'll be wandering the streets. Would you guys recommend heading over to Cambridge area for food/beer? I'm staying down near the harbour in Charlestown, so figure it should be easy enough to get there, and probably more fun than the downtown area?

Best areas to wander:

Boylston st/Newbury st in back bay
Tremont st in the South End
Hanover st in the North End
Central/Harvard/Inmansq in Cambridge

There are other places to go but they either aren't as obvious to see from public transportation or I am not as familiar with them. Also most places close between 1 and 2

Cheers Dan, much appreciated.

So how about Friday the 15th? If people can make that I will try to think of places we might be able to get seats and talk. Hmmmmm. Have you guys been to The Precinct? It doesn't tend to be too crowded around then.

I've been to Precinct for brunch only, would be game for meeting up there

Any time I've been there early it's been at least quiet-ish.

Of course now that I say that it'll be slammed but there are at least three other places within walking distance from there that we could go to if that were the case.

the precinct or the independent would be good

Yeah, right? The Indo does get crowded early sometimes but we'll survive.

this is terrible weather for it but is anyone interested in meeting up at Tavern at the End of the World tonight to see my downstairs neighbor's band?

unfortunately i think i will be doing my best impersonation of a shut-in today.

kind of curious tho--what is up with the band? ever seen 'em?

I have never seen them, all I know is that my neighbor is the drummer and it's an excuse to get beers

although the odds of me actually going out tonight are decreasing very quickly as time goes on

But . . . have you looked outside?

I saw this earlier and was like yeah! but then no! 'cause who am I kidding there's no way I am going anywhere tonight once I get in.

I am right next to a giant window, yeah

Are we on for the 15th though? Where's Bingo?

I might have to drop out of the 15th but I don't know yet

The 15th? I might go. Miracle of Science? I like it better than Mead Hall, which tends to be full of dotcommers.

Oh I thought we were saying Independent or Precinct? If you could come out and Miracle was easier that would be fine though obv. I haven't been there in ages.

Wait, I suck at reading comprehension. I can do anything – I just didn't want to go to Mead Hall. Meadthhall. methahole. I'll do my best to be there...

So I guess this isn't happening? That said, if anyone does want to still meet up I'd be up for it. I have the dog walker coming that day so don't have to worry about getting home immediately and could use with getting out for a bit after work.

Just talked to Remy and he's up for meeting up after work on Friday in either Harvard or Davis Sq if anyone else is.

I now don't even know if I am going to be in town this weekend ;_;

Aw, s'ok. We'll do it again soon. If you do wind up being here let us know though.

CAD?

i might be up for something early-ish on friday still. i need to go to rhode island for work but i think we will be back at a reasonable time.

so as not to distract from the other thread, i wanted to revive the talk of getting together today with jeff being in town and all. jeff (if you see this) not sure what time you're available, but i figured we could see if there's anything that would work/definitely not work for folks tonight.
