I'm with little k - voting to stay the hell out of Allston. I'll travel, though, wherever you all decide.
Most of my suggestions are in town. If people heavily prefer Cambridge or North/South Shore burbs, let me know.
Good meeting places also include: Ned Devine's (Fanueil Hall), Grafton Street Grille (Harvard Square), Dick's Last Resort (Copley Square), Rattlesnake (Boylston Street - good roof deck if it's nice out), The Barking Crab (downtown, Atlantic Ave.), Elephant & Castle (Financial District).
I'll list more as I think of them.
Not suggesting we should go to Manray, just throwing everything up there - unless kitchenpete's the kind of guy who would just love Fetish Night (if they still have that).....ya nevah know.
When the hell are you people going to make up your minds? ??? ???????
I'll choose one: Phoenix Landing.
Any place I can sleep will be lovely (assuming I'm this tired a week from today). Please don't put my fingers in my beer if I doze off. Thank you in advance.
phoenix landing sounds fine with me.
I've been there, it's pretty close to home, I'm good with that decision and I thank you all for making it. Phew.
Cool - right down the street from my hell-hole....I mean, office. If anyone from Q-town is going to take the train in (place is across from Central T), I can offer a ride home. Only room for 3 passengers. No backseat drivers or anti-smokers.
BTW, I saw Jerry at the grocery store yesterday. He misses everyone and will be less busy starting today.
Oho, you guys do know that Phoenix Landing is usually madly crowded and loud, right? Maybe less so on Tuesdays, but that's where people go dancing. If we want to stay around Central Square, I'd rather go to the Field or the Good Life.
Central Sq? Phoenix Landing?
May have apassenger there Sugar-well, you know..when I finally get all the way over there.
If thats where we're going anyway.
Ill just check in like Sunday or something.
Q, it may be safer to wait until monday night.
Is "Manray" what I think it is ?
It's a photgrapher, Guat... what did you think it was?

Quote:I'm flying in to Boston to see the youngest daughter who just started grad school at the New England Conservatory. It will be fun to see her school, her new apartment, neighborhood, etc. I would love to get together with any of the Boston group who might be available on October 11, 12, or 13th. I alerted Merry Andrew about a week ago that there was a possibility that I would be coming, so I will now send him a pm with the specific dates. He said he would be in town all of October and would like to meet.
The daughter lives in Allston, which I understand is west from the city. I've never been to Boston, so I have a lot to learn on this trip.
So, at least seattlefriend will be coming to Allston!
Yeah! Seattlefriend is coming too! 2 gatherings in one week? Is she posting on a2k about it?
Manray is a bar/club. I know it has a fetish night and I think the crowd is generally mixed straight and gay. It's a dance club, right?
Aha, here's Manray
