I'm working Sat am- but Friday night drinks could work for me. I'd really love the opportunity to meet some of you.

Zib is staying at the Westin Copley Place, so a meal in the North End will require either a cab or a trip on the Green Line to either Haymarket or North Station.
Zib, here are *some* recommendations in the general vicinity of your hotel (but might still want a cab for some) in no particular order:
Clio Hammersley's Bistro Via Matta Mistral Sorrellina No. 9 Park
Pizza Figs (on Charles Street) -- the warm bacon salad is orgasmic
Drinks and Amazing Desserts Finale
People Watching on a Nice Night Stephanie's on Newbury Street
If you want something more casual, let me know.

Good, cuz a mandatory smoke detector inspection certainly didn't sound like any fun. <<<<----thinking that since she's never spent a weekend morning on a mandatory smoke detector inspection that maybe her life isn't as boring as she might have thought...

MJ, are you staying near the convention center? there's surface parking right out there for the rest of us, but you and DH could just walk out and meet up with us.

Gahhh. I want to come Friday night now too since so many of y'all might make that! Are you guys late-nighters? We could try driving or T-ing in after our dinner is over, may not be until like 10 or later.

yup, exactly. if we want to sit and chat, I have an excellent spot in Copley Square that I will suggest. martini bar and a live jazz band.

Well, if we want to sit and chat, then we should keep track of how many are coming. We want to find a place large enough to accommodate a table(s) for all of us: LikeliesMJ MJ's DH Chiver Malarky GRG Jake (any other SOs of the above?) Possibles:Telephus Cael Carl Carl's DW Can we lure Lena and Archie and Sokiomo and Ava and "the-poster-in-NH-whose-screename-escapes-me-at-the-moment(Daphne?)" to join us? Am I forgetting anyone? C'mon folks, join us. The more the merrier (and the better the chances *I* won't be the serial killer victim, LOL). ETA: DeminMaine is reasonably close...

caiwau - you better bring your ass to this meetup! sitting, chatting, and drinks is more up my alley. I'd like to stay relatively close to our hotel though.

sorry, it's just that I feel like I know him already (from all his posts) so it's more like getting a friend to come out for drinks.

I would love to come and meet you all but it's my 40th birthday so I will be parked on my couch and most likely incredibly drunk with my 2-3 bottles of wine and cats and hubby snoring away. Oh well. Maybe another time.

Sorry, Empress. (Are you the poster from NH whose screen name I couldn't recall?)
You SHOULD join us. 40 is a landmark birthday -- it should be celebrated in the company of friends (or creepy internet strangers, your choice, LOL).

Is that along the lines of " a hug is just a strangle you haven't finished yet"? I am so excited for you all! I hope you have a WONDERFUL time wherever you decide to meet.

Chiver, you're likely the youngest Boston YMOTer (or maybe Cael is) so we us old, married, suburban types will defer to you.
But, since I AM old, married, and suburban I'd like a place where I can chat and get to meet people without having to yell over deafening music or totally mishear what the other person is saying for the same reason. (I TOLD you I'm old, LOL!!! Too many concerts at the Gaaahhdden in my formative years.) But, I may be alone in that preference and, if so, I can be persuaded to just come hang out, drink, and enjoy the scene. (Just don't look surprised if my answers don't match any of the questions during a conversation, LOL.)

And I would like to add that I've met a bunch of Boards members and I have found all of them to be wonderfully delightful people. I am sure you all will have the same experience. Or one of you will turn out to be a serial killer. The odds are going to catch up with us all eventually!

Would anyone be game for meeting someplace on the quieter side at first so we can actually chat and then later moving on to someplace hipper to party?
(That way us old fogies can meander on home before our curfew.)
