visiting BOSTON

So the Intermission is closed for a private event.

We're in the Tam

We are at the Tam, which is cash only FYI

cool see you in about 10

En route. Are people still at the tam?

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.

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

^^^ yes to all of this

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 ;_;

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

oh, the horror!

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

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

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.

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???

might be in Cambridge and Somerville.

Considering going in May for my 20th college reunion.

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

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.

and near me

let's remember what is important here

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

you never know, I could be in Boston the 1st weekend in August (again)

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

trophy room:

i do remember when that place was Fritz!

i am tied up on saturday; sorry to miss u!

What time will you be arriving on Saturday — and how are you getting here?

Taking the bus, arriving Friday eve, at a baseball seminar at BU 9-5 on Sat & Sun. Gone Sun at 6.

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?
