Boston -- Classic or Dirty Water?

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.

have fun. i'm coming in on thursday.

turns out i won't be able to get back until later in the week. can we please (please?) do something thursday/friday/saturday? sorry to bail; in RI for family issue.

Tonight I think I can make it out around 7:30 PM. I'm in town till Friday though, so if someone wants to do something instead on Thursday, I'm cool with that too.

yeah i can do either, whatever works for most ppl

I'm flexible

I don't know if I'm feeling up to it tonight now but Thurs would prob work if that's what you guys decide to do.

ok, let's shoot for thursday then.

Let's just do Thursday. I should be able to get out a little earlier that day anyway.

OK, so tomorrow night then let's do this. I need to get out. Where we gonna go? LH? I've never been AND it's on my bus route home so that would be pretty sweet. What time would people be able to get there?

I like LH, I was there on Monday night. Only had two beers though, so there is a lot more I wanted to try. I don't have any late meetings tomorrow, so I think I could shoot for 6:30 maybe? I just need to get my run in, in the morning so I don't have to after work. Shouldn't be a problem.

i should be p flexible, erica when do you think you'll be getting there

If I left at normal time I'd be there by 5:30 but if that's too early I can take the later bus and be there closer to 5:45-6?

is this thing as close to harvard square as it seems?

closer to Kendall

ok thanks dan. i'm supposed to meet up with two other people tomorrow but might somehow actually be able to do a little of this too. who knows though. i'll be back in a bit

i should be able to be there by 6 at the latest, will shoot for earlier

is there parking by lh?

there is a little bit of non-resident at the intersection but not much unfortunately

so i won't be at this, but if all goes well i'm not disappearing again for a year. i'll keep watching this thread

so my plan is to take the mysterious 85 bus at 5:20, should be at LH by 5:30

hey should we try to get the Obamas to show up?

Duh, of course we should.

Oh! Awesome. Then I will take the 4:50 bus and should be there around the same time. The 85? I have no idea about this bus. I think I need to get off mine by CBC and then walk to LH but that's right down the street, right?

Just Michelle and her sexy arms. Also, what is LH?

Lord Hobo. The place we're going. It used to be the B-side Lounge (RIP) if that helps.
