jjorge - I thought of back side...then rear side...the behind...figured it would get picked up no matter what
slappy - I am a professional drunk, still working on the driving. It's really odd - no one else validates, but Dick's always has. It's a beautiful thing when drinking a beer will actually save you $20.
For T riders - Don't be fooled - Copley Station/Green Line is CLOSER than Boylston/Green Line. You can also take the Orange Line to Bay Bay Station and walk around the corner.
Also good for future reference:
It's a little walk (not too far actually) but there's is also a parking chance if you go past the Marriott/Dick's and take your first right. This will take you back towards Boylston, past the new King's bowling alley. There's sometimes spots there, as well as the right turn right before Boylston off of Mass Ave., in front of Bukowski's.
Annnddd...anyone going to the Som'ville area afterwards can hitch a ride with moi as I am going to see the boy afterwards. As long as you don't mind stopping by Dick's before we go. Wouldn't want to twist your arm....
