Is Sunday or Monday better? Also aren't there more Boston ILXors? ENBB? markers?

Monday is better for me.
There are a bunch of us now; I don't know where everyone else is.
― DJP, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 19:42 (nine years ago) link
monday is prob better for me as well.

OK let's do Monday. Any suggestions for where to meet? I'm fine with anywhere I can get on public transportation.
― Immediate Follower (NA), Tuesday, 9 June 2015 20:19 (nine years ago) link
You're in the theater district, right? The easiest thing would be to either meet somewhere near there or somewhere along the Orange Line; switching to either the Green or Red will be a PITA, especially getting back afterward.
There are a bunch of bars around the Theater District; we could do Intermission Tavern if you want to stay close to home base or the divey place next door that I've never gone into because I think townies will kill me on sight. There's also Jacob Wirth, a good German place in the neighborhood, but I don't remember if they actually have a bar.
There are also a ton of places around North Station but I don't know many of them by name. I think there was an occasional poster who was a brewmaster at one of them that we promised to visit and never did (oops).
I'm not going to suggest the Slumbrew beer garden because I cannot start a second life there, but if you go to the Assembly Square stop there's a brand new shopping complex with several bars/restaurants that we could do as well.
Someone who knows Jamaica Plain can suggest places near the T in that direction on the Orange Line.
― DJP, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 20:41 (nine years ago) link
no one knows jamaica plain afaict.
i have suggested it for previous ilx meetups but emmet's on beacon hill is pleasant enough and convenient for folks coming via both red and orange lines.

the divey place next door that I've never gone into because I think townies will kill me on sight.
the tam??? the tam is great! def townieish but not in the way i think you mean
― slothroprhymes, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 20:47 (nine years ago) link
it's more emerson kids (or former, like myself) than angry townies at this point anyway
― slothroprhymes, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 20:48 (nine years ago) link
ha I should have known
(ftr my impressions were formed by looking in there about 20 years ago so it's no surprise that they'd be off)
― DJP, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 20:51 (nine years ago) link
they were probably right at the time, honestly. and there are deeeefinitely townies galore mixed in with the younger folks, and the bartenders are old and salty-lookin but actually quite nice. i met the orlando magic player channing frye there this past december

Isn't emmet's where we met ice cram?
― Benson and the Jets (ENBB), Tuesday, 9 June 2015 21:51 (nine years ago) link
Hello! Monday night not work but I will know nearer the time and be sure to check in beforehand :) will also alert others.
Is was just talking about the Tam recently. Some ppl love it apparently. Jacob Wirth's prob has a good beer selection.
There's always Cheers! JK.
― Benson and the Jets (ENBB), Tuesday, 9 June 2015 21:54 (nine years ago) link
Jacob Wirth's does have a bar and bar tables but there isn't tons of seating. Maybe if I flash my passport and dan and I attempt to speak German they'll comp us some drinks.
― Benson and the Jets (ENBB), Tuesday, 9 June 2015 21:56 (nine years ago) link
yeah emmet's is indeed where we met ice cram
― call all destroyer, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 22:05 (nine years ago) link
I liked that place :)
― Benson and the Jets (ENBB), Tuesday, 9 June 2015 22:14 (nine years ago) link
Wait you guys met lagoon?
― DJP, Wednesday, 10 June 2015 01:19 (nine years ago) link
Yeah!! That was a long time ago now though. Maybe 2010? Me, RS, CAD, Markers and Lagoon. We posted a group pic on wdyll. You must have been out of town!

I might go Boston sometime in the next couple weeks but I think I will miss NA.

Glancing online, Emmett's or the Intermission Tavern look good to me for Monday.
― Immediate Follower (NA), Wednesday, 10 June 2015 14:57 (nine years ago) link
I ended up at Intermission Tavern last night, I liked it.
Boston seems nice and also very BOSTON. And my hotel is hilarious.

Which one are you staying in? Today is supposed to be beautiful out. :D I am heading to Providence for a friend's going away party and am going to try to come tomorrow but I have to see how I feel. I have been sick lately and it will really just come down to how I feel after work. Hope you enjoy today!
― Benson and the Jets (ENBB), Sunday, 14 June 2015 15:29 (eight years ago) link
The Milner? I guess it's really old and my room is so small and the bed is tiny too.
― Immediate Follower (NA), Sunday, 14 June 2015 16:08 (eight years ago) link
This is my full room, not counting the bathroom

I'm still sorting out living arrangements but I'll be visiting the greater area (Worcester, to be exact) for at least a year starting in August. Definitely expect to make it into Boston proper when I can; pretty sure it'll happen in August.
― EveningStar (Sund4r), Sunday, 14 June 2015 19:26 (eight years ago) link
OK let's do Intermission Tavern. Is earlier or later more optimal? I can do anytime after about 5:30.
― Immediate Follower (NA), Monday, 15 June 2015 14:28 (eight years ago) link
I'm good whenever, just need a time so I know if I'm going home first or going straight there.
― I Am Curious (Dolezal) (DJP), Monday, 15 June 2015 15:52 (eight years ago) link
yeah i'm just at home so i can go out pretty much whenever
― call all destroyer, Monday, 15 June 2015 15:54 (eight years ago) link
OK let's say 6:00 then? Then we can all go to the library conference dance party in the Westin ballroom after.
― Immediate Follower (NA), Monday, 15 June 2015 15:58 (eight years ago) link
sounds good
― call all destroyer, Monday, 15 June 2015 17:05 (eight years ago) link
The Westin is lovely. Sounds like a party.
I'm really bummed guys but I'm not going to make it. I just feel terrible adn I think I'm going to leave work and go home soon. NA - I really would have liked to meet you. Hopefully I'll have the chance again some time.

JERRY: (bewildered) Four-thirty? Who eats dinner at four-thirty?MORTY: By the time we sit down, it'll be quarter to five.JERRY: I don't understand why we have to eat now.HELEN: We gotta catch the early-bird. It's only between four-thirty and six.MORTY: Yeah. They give you a tenderloin, a salad and a baked potato, for four-ninety-five. You know what that cost you after six?JERRY: Can't we eat at a decent hour? I'll treat, okay?HELEN: You're not buying us dinner.JERRY: (emphatic) I'm not force-feeding myself a steak at four-thirty to save a couple of bucks, I'll tell you that!HELEN: All right (sitting on the couch), we'll wait. (pointedly) But it's unheard of.

Regardless, Liz and I are coming. However, I have a workout until 6:00 PM so I’ll be late.

I was semi joking about the Westin but if you guys want to dance with a bunch of librarians we can do that
ENBB that is not acceptable (feel better)

Thanks, guys. I really wish I felt up to it. Hope you have fun.

ENBB I just saw your post on the other thread. Sorry, I didn't mean to diminish you feeling sick.
― Immediate Follower (NA), Monday, 15 June 2015 19:17 (eight years ago) link
Hey, no worries :). It's just bumming me out today cause I really would like to come but I'm just not up to it and one of the things I've learned over the past couple months if I push myself when I'm not well or tired than it just makes everything worse. Like I said, hopefully there will be another time. I'd really like to visit Chicago again - I liked it so much when I was there the last time.
