IS IT TIME FOR ANOTHER BOSTON DU GET-TOGETHER??

[GCP]

We need to vent and down large amounts of alcohol.

Who's with me? And give suggestions for a venue - hopefully not the Peoples' Republic, I prefer a place with real tables

1. I highly recommend it.

We had a DU get-together in Chicago last Sunday and it was a helpful experience.

:beer:

[MikeG]

2. Will Col. Bat Guano be there?

[GCP]

3. YES YES YES YES

You got it!!

I was beginning to wonder if I was the only one who loved that film :toast:

[MikeG]

9. Anyone who doesn't like that movie gets such a pranging from me

that their head spins.

[DS1]

38. I'm sure there's a nice contingent of FReeper tools that think it's a typo

:eyes:

[Rjnerd]

4. Busy monday and thursday nights...

Otherwise pretty openminded. Someplace without a lot of intentional noise (no band please). Not allowed ethanol, so I don't care about the beer selection...

5. Cambridge at our commie hangout? this Saturday?

Where are Matcom and Will when we need them!

:-)

[GCP]

6. Hi, Papau!

I'd really like a place with tables we can sit around. Any suggestions?

[trof]

7. This ol' Alabama boy

will be in town for a week beginning the Sunday before Thanksgiving.
How about a Friday After gathering? I'll bring Miz t. and the whole Boston Family.

[GCP]

11. That sounds great, we'd love to see some ol' Alabamans

Keep this thread kicked, please, I have to leave now.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

14. I'd love to meet you!

:hi:

and the family!

[Blue-Jay]

8. Getting jealous because the Chicagoans can drink more beer than you?

<throws gauntlet>

[Kathy in Cambridge]

13. Oh yeah? Is that a challenge?

:P

[GCP]

15. Oh yeah?

You talk big on the internet!

[Kathy in Cambridge]

16. I've seen Jason drink

he has NOTHING on matcom or any Boston DUers!

[Blue-Jay]

21. Bullshit.

Only Margo Kidder can drink me under the table.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

22. LOL

that's some competition! I heard she took prescription drugs too...

[ET Awful]

10. I'm in. I prefer something other than Peoples Republik too.

Maybe one of the joints in Harvard Square area? Something with chairs and nubile college girls. :)

[GCP]

12. That sounds good

Please keep kicked

[papau]

17. I'll take a chair and leave girl watching to those with better eyes!

but you folks name the place and time!

[Kathy in Cambridge]

18. How about The Field?

Irish pub in Central Sq by the "T". Or 'Redline" in Harvard Sq?

Or Miracle of Science near MIT?

Or Temple Bar between Harvard and Porter?

[Squeech]

19. Reporting for duty

Except that I'm out of town this weekend-- there's a chocolate fair in NYC :bounce:

Thanksgiving weekend with some trofs strikes me as a terrific idea.

The Field is kinda dark, although it is quieter than People's Republik (but what isn't?).

When I worked at Harvard, my watering hole of choice was Grendel's Den-- which was equally dark, but had a fireplace, and tables, and a menu of tasty stuff. Haven't been there in a decade, however.

The other advantage to Thanksgiving weekend is, if the usual clientele of a bar is college students, we can have it largely to ourselves.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

23. Grendel's is cool

I haven't been there in about a decade either.

[trof]

28. Grendel's website link & menus:

http://www.grendelsden.com/index.html
Sounds good.

[WindRavenX]

20. sounds good

It was fun the first time around!

[Kathy in Cambridge]

24. I'm in Kal-eee-forn-ya this weekend

but am definitely around for Thanksgiving.

[trof]

25. Day after Turkey Day sure sounds good.

I think we're spending Thanksgiving with Friends in NH, but no plans that I know of for Friday.
Could we wear name tags with our user names? Except with all the name changes I'll be confused.

[SarahB]

26. I think so.

:) There's a good possibility I'll be working every weekend beginning in December, so one last hurrah before that might be kind of fun. Count me in.

[matcom]

27. you tell me where - you tell me when

i'll bring my ASS

on edit: why not the place we met for the convention? its right next to the T

[DS1]

34. Clerys

Not a bad idea :toast:

[matcom]

35. and my preference has NOTHING to do with the hot waitress

so stop saying that!

[DS1]

37. Hey, she could be lurking

[matcom]

41. well, if she is.....

I WANT TO SEE YOU NEKKID COVERED IN PESTO!!!

note to DS1: this post was NOT meant for YOU!

[GCP]

29. I'm kicking this again

The day after Thanksgiving sounds great
Grendel's Den sounds good, as is the place near the T where we met at the convention.
Let's keep this kicked a while and make a decision at some point.

[Briarius]

30. darn

LynzM and I would drive up if we didn't have a concert to go to that day :( :( Maybe the next one then.

[LynzM]

31. Beat me to it!

I'd love if it we could make it to one of the Boston meetups... :(

Is the day after T-day a definite, or is Saturday still a possibility?

[Amaya]

32. Maybe?

What about the Saturday after Thanksgiving?

[Squeech]

33. Any time

Friday, Saturday, Sunday

Otherwise I'm just going to be home websurfing.

This is really just a :kick:

[Kathy in Cambridge]

36. KICK

[candy]

39. Why not try Newton or Brookline? Very lib towns!

[DS1]

40. Newton? Eh, no thanks

[candy]

42. Why? I live in Newton----what's the problem?

[DS1]

43. It's always seemed like a snooty town to me

:shrug:

[WilliamPitt]

44. I grew up in Newton

It isn't that bad.

[Squeech]

46. If it's gonna be Newton

make it someplace easy to get to and to park at.

(Oh joy, I get to be a designated driver again.)

T accessible would be nice too.

[WilliamPitt]

47. Union Street cafe in Newton Centre

Big central parking lot in Newton Centre.

I think Clery's is best, tho. Closest to the train.

[DS1]

50. Ya mon

Clery's good, driving bad :-)

[Kathy in Cambridge]
