EDITED: Is the April 22nd-23rd Boston Gathering the DU Woodstock?

[WilliamPitt]

If so, which original Woodstock performer would JimmyJazz be?

I wanted to add an edit to this to add a suggestion for a location. I don't know if a place has been picked, but if not, I offer Bukowski's tavern as an option. It is a great beer-and-wine bar on the corner of Boylston and Dalton Streets, right next to the Heinz Convention Center. There is a parking garage right next to the place, and there are three different train stations nearby.

The Sox are away at Tampa Bay those days, so we won't have to compete with the Fenway crowd for parking and bar space. Best of all, I know all the bartenders really well, so it would be a home base of sorts. Finally, if we go there, people can buy this t-shirt:

These are Bukowski's shirts, sold only in this bar.

Discuss.

[ET Awful]

1. Joan Baez?

:)

[trof]

2. I'm wearing my tie-died dashiki

and my plaid elephant bells.

[GOPisEvil]

3. Sly and The Family Stone

No reason; I just felt like typing that and giving myself the "Everyday People" earworm.

[DS1]

4. It would be

the "Chicago does truly suck ass compared to Boston, after all" Bash!

[Kathy in Cambridge]

6. You don't see people from all over traveling to CHICAGO

for their DU Gatherings!

It's because Boston DUers Rule!

[JohnKleeb]

5. Seems that way

Sigh I cant make it though.

[jonnyblitz]

8. underage DUers can't get into the bar anyway.

so it wouldnt be fun for you

[JohnKleeb]

Well Ive always wanted to see Boston

Oh well, I can take satisfaction that I may be getting high and drunk and smoking hookah next week with Zack and Maggie.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

12. they can get in but not drink

people bring their kids to bars in Cambridge-it's pretty common in Irish bars to see kids with their dads while English football is on the telly.

[JohnKleeb]

14. *groans again*

amd Ive never been to a real Irish bar.

[jonnyblitz]

15. that's cool. nt

[JohnKleeb]

17. I was about to say Jonny, that Rev is 19 and shes going

[RevolutionaryActs]

19. And WindRavenX is 19, and I know she's said something about going

into bars around Boston before. :shrug:

[JohnKleeb]

20. Oh yeah I forgot that shes under 21

Ha shes the age Ive been liking my women, sweet 19 and you are too :P.

[RevolutionaryActs]

21. LOL!

:P

[JohnKleeb]

22. Well its true

College girls dayum, fun to hang out with and smart too.

[RevolutionaryActs]

23. naughty boy!

:spank:

[JohnKleeb]

24. Whoa girl

That hit the spot.

[RevolutionaryActs]

25. LOL! why do I bother?

:P

[JohnKleeb]

26. I dont know

what I do know is that I have a thing for slightly older girls, :shrug: my grandfathers both did and they were left handed, and I am left handed too, :D.

[RevolutionaryActs]

27. HEHEHE

You gonna marry up? :P

[JohnKleeb]

30. Well

If I meet her at college then probably then yes, since I am one of the youngest people in my grade.

[RevolutionaryActs]

31. Yeah.

Just make sure she's not a sugar mama. :P

[JohnKleeb]

32. I will

Believe me I think I have good taste in girls.

[jonnyblitz]

28. I was just saying...

it would suck to travel a distance and find out one couldnt get in because they weren't 21. I can't keep up with all the rules in all the different states that I frequent. I get carded when i buy my sister cigs and I am (cough) waaaaay over 18.Anyways I guess you all can pretend to be my newly adopted Irish children at the bar! I make a cool dad... :crazy:

[JohnKleeb]

33. Are you continuing the myth that I am all Irish :)

I know you were saying and I appreciate it, it just sounds ilke a really good time.

[RevolutionaryActs]

16. So I would be able to go?

YAY! :)

[barackmyworld]

56. aww

I'm underage too :(

[stellanoir]

7. Hendrix

or so it would seem.

She's rivetting and hopefully won't spike early as he did.

Send your swarm to protect her.

Bzzzzzz.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

9. Should we warm the PR about the swarm of Libruls coming on the 23rd?

just a thought...

[sundog]

10. JimmyJazz in the role of Wavy Gravy

:P

[hyphenate]

11. Ah, so!

I guess I should find my tie-dyed hat and tee-shirt for that one, then?

Yes, looks like I can make that one, at least!

[matcom]

13. I wanna make the brown acid announcement!!

[stellanoir]

29. but you're too high

so you'll probably forget.

enjoy the purple polar bears though. . .

and play your guitar.

[Squeech]

44. Yup

Can you strum fast enough to do the Richie Havens set?

Or are you like "This is only the second time we've sung in public, and I'm scared shitless"?

[Longgrain]

18. Can I bore you all with my John Sebastian imprersonation...

"A Cloth house is all you need if you got Love"

[JimmyJazz]

34. Who are we kidding? I'd be one of the naked people

sliding in the mud!


gratuituous picture of woodstock inserted here for no real reason -------->

[GalleryGod]

35. That Would be "An Aquarian Exposition" in White Lake, N.Y.

for Will Pitt and the rest of you Youngsters:hippie: :hippie: :hippie:

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

36. THIS IS SO OFFENSIVE

How dare you post something in the Lounge that actually matters?

[trof]

37. So...no Scotch?

ugh

[Kathy in Cambridge]

38. Are you coming to Boston?

:D

[BigMcLargehuge]

39. I'd like to take Mrs. McLargehuge to a nice place in the city

not that The People's Republik isn't welcoming, but this is may turn into a well needed overnight for us (Come on raise.... come on bonus from work...) and I'd love to have someplace to go that, were we to not dress like hobos, wouldn't look out of place.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

40. What kind of place are you looking for? Bar/restaurant?

there are some nice restaurants in Cambridge and Boston...

[BigMcLargehuge]

41. believe me, I know

if things work out the way I hope we'll be overnighting at the Park Plaza, right near legal seafood and there is a good restaurant in the hotel itself. But when we hang with the DU crowd I'd love it if we were all at a nice bar.

Nice bars are good.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

42. People's Republik isn't my style either

the reason we pick it is itstheme and location-DUers know where it is. I would prefer a bar with a nice wine list, but usually the only places open on Saturday afternoon are Irish bars, sports bars, and dumps.

[curse10]

43. I like Bukowskis

Beat's crossing the river into fucking Cambridge (Although Grendel's would be cool too)

[GalleryGod]

49. OOOOOOOOOOOooooooooo the Mouth on You, Kirsten!

:evilgrin: Howza back?:evilgrin:

[Kat45]

45. Is that near the Prudential?

How expensive is the garage?

[Kathy in Cambridge]

46. Parking' expensive in that area-better to take the bus/T

[jonnyblitz]

52. yup, I part at Green St. garage in Cambridge even if

my destination is somewhere in Boston. The redline works...

[Kathy in Cambridge]

47. What about some place with a decent wine list and food?

Grafton Street in Harvard Square
Mr. Dooley's on Broad Street Downtown
Miracle of Science in Cambridge
Clery's (site of DNC Gathering)

I like Bukowski's (cheap bar food) but the music is loud so it's not very conducive to conversations (and the wine list sucks). But I want one of those T-shirts!!!

[Kathy in Cambridge]

48. kick

[GalleryGod]

50. Will !? You and Matcom MUST take GOPisEvil to Bukowski's !

You must! You must!:bounce: :toast:
Say you will,Will?:wtf: (that came out either weird or affected)
Which is a site better than "Affleck-ed":freak:

[MikeG]

51. I am trying to swing it.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

54. Can we give you shit about the Stillers?

:P

[MikeG]

55. Yeah. But I need to clear my schedule.

[SpiralHawk]

53. Is it the Heinz convention center, or Hines ?

(named after former Boston Mayor Hines)

Things have changed in ye olde Beantown


PS - My brother finally delivered last week on my Xmas present of a brand new deluxe fitted Red Sox baseball cap -- the classic blue, with the red B outlined in white. Totally lovin it.
