If I had my preference I suppose Oct 29 (Wednesday) would be my 1st choice.
The place I’ll be specifically that week (I’ll be at a conference for work) is in the Prudential Center area, but I can easily get from there to anywhere in Boston for the meet up.
Dang Thot, The Pru’s just a block or 2 from where I work.
Anyone else feel the stars aligning?
Nice work, LT. We’re building a nice little coalition here. It will help us in our petition to have the meet up close to the Pru.
Incidentally, I went to college at N.U. so I had a daily view of the Pru back then. The Green Line was my mode of getting 'round the city.
Oooof. The slow, screechy, sweaty, broken-down Green Line…
At times so crowded that once I was sure that I’d been impregnated. (And I’m a dude!)
I still have flashbacks to waiting outside over an hour as full B-Line trains passed me by during a blizzard.
I just let my “BLineSucks.com” url expire because I never got around to doing anything with it, but I had plans.
Oh, did I have plans…
I’m from upstate NY/western mass 
I suddenly feel like hurling a tapir legbone into outer space !
ok, very obscure 2001 ref…
I can make any of those days, TFG, so it’s up to you guys.
I got the reference. What? Do you think I was born yesterday?
So we need to hear from the Chicken. You know, the one that breaths Fire. FBC, how are things for you on or around Oct 29?
The weekend of the 25th is taken, the week is open.
Great. Tenatively, it’s looking like Wednesday Oct 29 might be a good date for all so far. That’s more than a month away. So let’s at least pencil that in for now, eh? All those in favor say “splunge”.
Splunge indeed.
Oct 29th is just splungey for me.
OK Northeasterners…
October 29th, 2008. Boston, MA. Approx 6PM to ??
ThotFullGuy and I invite our fellow GWCers for some Food, Drink, and (gotta be, right?) Great Conversation. In the Big City. Bahston !
Also, Grace Park will be there to sign autographs and pose for photos. Ok, I made that part up. Grace will NOT be there, OK ?
Let me know if you will attend. This’ll be fun. So try to make it !
Yeah, Grace called me earlier this evening and asked me what she should wear to the Boston meetup—she’s not familiar with what the weather’s like in Boston in late October. I told her it will be very, very warm. And that she should wear something very, very light and skimpy. And then she hung up on me. So I think we’ll pencil her in as a “maybe”.
I specifically told her NOT to use my phone for long-distance calls ! Damn !
God I wish…
If Grace is there I’m gonna have to decline.
…bad breakup.
All the best to her, but she won’t stop calling, poor thing.
Even had to change my phone number.
(I lied to her and gave her yours, Thot. Sorry.)
Oh, that’s okay, LoneToast. If it’s my destiny to Grace’s rebound guy, then so be it.
Boston, MA meetup October 29, 6pm, location TBD
Confirmed so far:

some of y’all should go to this. Morena will be there. TG & TFG could get pics, & we could add them to Solai’s and have an inara gallery.
oh, and Lea Thompson will be there too
Holy Craap! That looks awesome! Problem is I’ll be away in California (hopefully including a meet up with Southern Cal GWCers, like you!) that week before that weekend. Might be kinda tricky explaining to me wife and kids that I gotta go to cambridge with Topgun to a Sci Fi gig after being away for a week.:eek:
Jeeze LD, how can I pass up a chance to meet George Takei ?? And it’s like 40 minutes away…I’m so there.
