Yes

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

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.

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.

"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.

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

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.

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

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"

i am visiting BOSTON the first week of august!!

east arlington, the gateway to north cambridge!
yeah, you'll be near a lot of cool neighborhoods for hanging out.

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

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

I’d be up for a FAP too.

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
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

What time will you be arriving on Saturday — and how are you getting here?
― rb (soda), Thursday, 2 August 2018 11:01 (five years ago) link
Taking the bus, arriving Friday eve, at a baseball seminar at BU 9-5 on Sat & Sun. Gone Sun at 6.
― a Mets fan who gave up on everything in the mid '80s (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 2 August 2018 11:07 (five years ago) link
Trophy Room is the kinda gay sports bar where i'm the only one watching da sports. Cathedral Station had Pirates-Cards and Brewers-Rockies on when i walked in, more credible. Anyway, i stomped around the Back Bay and South End til i got tired (around 9:30 on Sat night; i always sleep badly in hotels).
What is with all the Boston ppl wearing UnderArmour-branded stuff? way more than in NYC.

Is Jamaica Plain worth spending an afternoon in? Or should I do Cambridge or Somerville? Or somewhere else easily accessible by metro?
― vision joanna newsom (Stevie D(eux)), Monday, 28 January 2019 22:17 (five years ago) link
depends what you're looking for but Cambridge has the most Stuff in it out of those three. JP and somerville are mostly just places people live, with some pockets of good food
― ciderpress, Monday, 28 January 2019 22:42 (five years ago) link
I was surprised at how much was going on in Davis Square, Somerville last time I was there.
― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Monday, 28 January 2019 22:46 (five years ago) link
davis is great but its mostly just food & a independent movie theater
― ciderpress, Monday, 28 January 2019 22:48 (five years ago) link
i don't get over there much but i think it'd be easy to kill an afternoon in jp. if it's nice out you can go check out the pond and whatnot for a changeup from the city.
