I'm going to be too tired to party (I have an old soul ) but I'd love to meet for drinks and chit chat.

we're staying at the Revere Hotel if that helps. DH and I stayed there for his holiday party. It was sooooooo nice.

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.) I'm not so concerned about meandering home on time, but it would be nice to actually have conversations. Which we should record and play back for Virgil so we can watch his head explode. link

It would be nice to meet people where it's quiet as I can only hear with one ear and do not do well with crowds. I'm going to be an old 40. I also do not go into Boston often so I may have to hire Chiver as a tour guide. Jeez, ask me anything about the North Shore and northern New Hampshire and I can be a travelogue. I feel depressed now. I know how to get around on the T - subway, loathe the bus - and stuff but would need addresses. Heard of the Revere Hotel but don't know where it is. Unfortunately I am well acquainted with the city of Revere. You don't want to go there.

Empress I'm the same, I go into Boston but not that much, and I usually go to the same places hehe. We can probably meet up for the partying later in the evening, just tell me where! (I am gonna bring DH) Also for the record I think Carl is younger than me, he's probably the baby of this group

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). Hi GRG, it's not me. It was Daphne. 40 is apparently not as landmark as 50 if my mother going batshit crazy over that one was any indication. And I do mean crazy. With luck my husband will forget, as usual, and then go buy something completely impractical and useless. Oh, I take that back. I won't let him forget this year because I will be medically cleared to drive again that day and will be taking back my car!!!!!!! I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But I won't drive into Boston. It frightens me.

Let's invite him so we can watch in person. Or, at least let's all wear snow leopard masks and take a picture and post it on the boards.

Could always hit up Stone Zoo in Stoneham or Franklin Park Zoo in whatever godforsaken part of Boston it's in to see if they have any snow leopard paraphernalia to send him as a group hug.

I thought you were trying to tell us to have fun at our meetup tonight, although it's not tonight. LOL, I always get paranoid on Friday that it's really Thursday until I see another person walking to the building in jeans.

Has a decision been reached on location and time for next Friday, 3/22? I just need to know so I can arrange a ride home from work for DH. He can't walk very far anymore thanks to the MS. I guess I can keep myself sober long enough to go into Boston and meet actual people, be they axe murderers or not. Although if that was the case, we'd be hanging in Fall River at the Lizzie Borden house with the the 40 whacks, would we not?

I don't think so. anyone have an opinion? I'm up for whatever y'all decide. I might be a hot mess that night anyway, I'm heading south to Mohegan Sun the night before to see one of the bands that was on my cruise play a free show in the Wolf Den. a bunch of us are staying over.

I know I'll probably be wiped out after a full day at PAX, so I suggest night time drinks at my hotel bar.

8:30-9 works for me. I'm thinking I should probably tell DH we have an after-dinner date with a bunch of internet weirdos.

Yes. You're still invited if you want to come. We just passed the "Welcome to Massachusetts" sign!

Welcome to Massachusetts. Maybe it'll stop freaking snowing for your visit. I'm already planning my early escape from home and work.And DH says he'll miss me, but he'll get by if any of you turn out to be axe murderers. Not sure how I feel about that. I doubt he'll be home early enough to come with me. Chiver, if you're out there, any interest in carpooling? And as you know, I really mean you drive. I'll pick up the parking tab. Let me know, otherwise I'm taking the T in. So looking forward to meeting everyone and seeing Chiver again, for us it'll be the 4th time we've gotten together.

I'm def interested for tomorrow although it might be late! Are we still thinking about doing something Saturday morning or will that be too much for you guys? For tomorrow - is it sketch for me to give someone my number and I could text you guys when we're done to see if it's too late for everyone or not?

Hey, should we have a code word or password so we don't spend a couple hours chatting and drinking with a different group of strangers at the wrong table?
