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.

Immediate Follower (NA), Monday, 15 June 2015 22:12 (eight years ago) link

Allen (etaeoe), Monday, 15 June 2015 23:12 (eight years ago) link

Yes

Immediate Follower (NA), Monday, 15 June 2015 23:31 (eight years ago) link

Thanks again for coming out. It was nice to meet everyone.

Immediate Follower (NA), Tuesday, 16 June 2015 13:22 (eight years ago) link

Currently trying to decide whether to go to the airport early to stand by for an earlier flight and hopefully avoid this thunderstorm.

Immediate Follower (NA), Tuesday, 16 June 2015 13:23 (eight years ago) link

yeah it was fun! good luck getting out of here.

call all destroyer, Tuesday, 16 June 2015 13:58 (eight years ago) link

^^^ yes to all of this

I Am Curious (Dolezal) (DJP), Tuesday, 16 June 2015 14:35 (eight years ago) link

four weeks pass...

Hi Boston ILXors. I'm coming up there for a mini-vacation from Saturday until Wednesday. Let me know if you are around and would like to meet up! I'll be staying in the South End but will have a car, so I'm flexible on locations.

I will not be here ;_;

I Am Curious (Dolezal) (DJP), Wednesday, 15 July 2015 13:13 (eight years ago) link

well shit, there goes my plans for commiserating with you about our years at the big H

aka sipping sherry in some oak-paneled reading room

tittering at some hapless soul's mismatched cufflinks and studs

I Am Curious (Dolezal) (DJP), Wednesday, 15 July 2015 13:19 (eight years ago) link

oh, the horror!

"That's the type of sartorial sloppiness that gets you bumped from the polo tournament, Barrington!"

I Am Curious (Dolezal) (DJP), Wednesday, 15 July 2015 13:41 (eight years ago) link

haha, that made me wonder if there actually was a polo team at Harvard. A quick GIS reveals that yes, of course there is.

too young for seapunk (Moodles), Wednesday, 15 July 2015 13:54 (eight years ago) link

It really feels like there something like 10 different undergrad schools there sometimes; at my reunion this year, I was AMAZED by how many people I met for the first time.

I Am Curious (Dolezal) (DJP), Wednesday, 15 July 2015 14:43 (eight years ago) link

there's a very large portion of the overall "Harvard experience" that I think was well outside of what I did with my time there. Outside of classes and my group of friends, a lot of it seemed very foreign and unfathomable to me.

two years pass...

I'm visiting BOSTON in two months, is there so much fun stuff to do???

ice cream social justice (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 14 March 2018 21:35 (six years ago) link

Considering going in May for my 20th college reunion.

Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Thursday, 15 March 2018 00:53 (six years ago) link

Boston Calling happens at the end of May. it's become a pretty big deal, as far as music festivals go. It take place outside the Harvard football stadium.

henry s, Thursday, 15 March 2018 03:25 (six years ago) link

Mayfair in Harvard Square is always kinda fun. May 6.

there’s....some fun stuff to do here and there. do you know where you’re staying?

call all destroyer, Thursday, 15 March 2018 11:44 (six years ago) link

i think East Arlington? I'm going to visit my bestie from college and another friend and hopefully meet some ilxors but mostly like just hang out w/ cool ppl, not so much specifically to "see things in Boston"

the masseduction of lauryn hill (Stevie D(eux)), Thursday, 15 March 2018 12:54 (six years ago) link

i am visiting BOSTON the first week of august!!

illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Thursday, 15 March 2018 12:59 (six years ago) link

east arlington, the gateway to north cambridge!

yeah, you'll be near a lot of cool neighborhoods for hanging out.

call all destroyer, Thursday, 15 March 2018 14:10 (six years ago) link

and near me

let's remember what is important here

Benson and the Jets (ENBB), Thursday, 15 March 2018 14:14 (six years ago) link

This is all exciting though. Maybe people visiting will be the kick in the ass we need to finally FAP again.

Benson and the Jets (ENBB), Thursday, 15 March 2018 14:17 (six years ago) link

yeah i'm in tho i can no longer in good conscience say i am a boston resident

call all destroyer, Thursday, 15 March 2018 14:21 (six years ago) link

ice cream social justice (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 15 March 2018 14:26 (six years ago) link

I’d be up for a FAP too.

rb (soda), Thursday, 15 March 2018 22:13 (six years ago) link

two months pass...

I will be in Aug 3-5 for the baseball thing.. staying in NEWTON (thx Hotwire blind booking). Very little free time but Sat night the 4th looks best.

the ignatius rock of ignorance (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 7 June 2018 17:38 (six years ago) link

(happily I have found a convenient bus route between hotel and BU)

the ignatius rock of ignorance (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 7 June 2018 21:11 (six years ago) link

one month passes...

I will be blowing in next Friday eve and leaving Sunday at 6pm; only downtime looks like Saturday after 5pm, if anyone is free to meet up.

(also I am staying in bloody Newton, but i have the necessary info on the bus routes)

If anyone calls you "mush", take it as a term of endearment

Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Friday, 27 July 2018 18:05 (five years ago) link

Does that translate as "nitwit whose last two posts, 7 weeks apart, were nearly identical"?

I don't suppose anyone knows about gay sports bars, but lacking anything else I may repair to one called Cathedral Station to watch some of the BOS-NYY game on Saturday night.

a Mets fan who gave up on everything in the mid '80s (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 31 July 2018 15:38 (five years ago) link

Haaa, no, it really lies just what I said. Kind of Newtonian for bro. It's the only fun fact I know about Newton.

I don't know of gay sports bars off hand, but my parents who live in Boston's South End may be able to recommend something. I'll ask.

Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Tuesday, 31 July 2018 15:58 (five years ago) link

Oh duh, Cathedral Station is in the South End about a block from their building. If you run into my parents, say hi.

Warning: not a lot of Mets love around there.

Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Wednesday, 1 August 2018 17:41 (five years ago) link

Oh, and my previous post should read "it really is just what I said"

Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Wednesday, 1 August 2018 17:46 (five years ago) link

i won't mention Bill Buckner's name, thx
