My wedding is on the 25th, so... I'll just put myself down as a maybe.

Putting myself down as a "maybe" until the time and venue are clearer. I don't have any suggestions for good places to get a drink, and I don't have any places I strongly suggest avoiding, either.

If you want to stay in Harvard Square, John Harvard's is usually our go-to meetup location. They have some bigger tables, and have proved flexible in the past.

Cambridge Common is also close by and would be a good choice (I'd call ahead, though).

Hey, I work in the building adjacent to the Div School's buildings! If I'm around, I'll be glad to guide you to wherever the meetup will be -- walking around that area can be confusing. (I can also show you where the best free parking can be found.)

I do my weekly house music night at O Sushi on Harvard Square from 10:30 - 2:00 AM every Friday if anyone is interested in continuing the evening. I'll put myself down as a "yes" with the proviso that I'm going to need to move there at some point to get equipment set up.

i know nothing, but tell me where to be and i will there. also, if anyone wants to go to the Fogg (is it open) or to hear me talk about Mormon blessings, do say so.

is Friday, the 24th at 8:30 too late? Or Saturday brunch?
posted by PinkMoose at 3:23 PM on August 26, 2014


I am also interested in local ciders, including Harpoon, Bantam and Downeast.
posted by PinkMoose at 3:26 PM on August 26, 2014


Cambridge Common worked out marvelously for the last meetup, although it was admittedly an early Saturday afternoon, so less crowded than other times.

PinkMoose: If you're driving down, stop in Burlington and grab a couple bottles of Citizen Cider. Better yet, stop by their tap room.

well, without a specific time and a date I can't really-- aw fuck, I'm not really ever doing anything, I'll probably be there.
posted by threeants at 5:28 PM on August 26, 2014


as long as there are nacho(e)s
posted by threeants at 5:28 PM on August 26, 2014


I also don't really understand brunch, I'm afraid someone would notice I'm Jewish and hit me with a croquet mallet
posted by threeants at 5:30 PM on August 26, 2014


do we want to lock the friday down?
posted by PinkMoose at 5:32 PM on August 26, 2014


sry, I'm not on the listserv for people who own pink shorts / a boat
posted by threeants at 5:53 PM on August 26, 2014


We can rectify that. What are you, a thirty foot person? Thirty five?

depends which dimension we're talking. WINK WINK.

(I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT A BOAT, LOL, WINK WINK WINK)
posted by threeants at 7:33 PM on August 26, 2014


I'll put in for a maybe and have a better idea once the date gets closer. I'm having a hard time making plans for October since in my mind it still feels like summer just started.

You are not finding the right brunches.
posted by maryr at 11:17 AM on August 27, 2014


Friday would be good for me as well. I would drive into town from the suburbs, but as long as there isn't a game, it shouldn't be a problem.
posted by Rustic Etruscan at 7:39 PM on August 27, 2014


Alas, I work Thursday nights, so I won't be able to make it. Have a drink for me!

It's not September 4th, is it?
posted by Horace Rumpole at 1:42 PM on August 28, 2014


Yeah, I think this date is wrong based on the original post.

i am an idiot date corrected

We still on for tomorrow? Is there a MetaFilter reservation or something?

WOOOOOO!! See you all there! Should we ask for the MetaFilter group? How will we find you all??
posted by sarcasticah at 10:31 PM on October 23, 2014


Been a super busy week at work, & I'm not sure if I'll be able to drag myself back to Harvard Square tonight, so I'm changing to a maybe. If I don't see you, have fun!

if the ambient temperature at John Harvard's is above 50 degrees I WILL DEFINITELY BE THERE
posted by threeants at 3:09 PM on October 24, 2014


I secretly wish this meetup started sooner

I might be frozen by the time I arrive
posted by threeants at 3:25 PM on October 24, 2014


FYI, I am going to go to Clover to get food before heading to the meetup - I'll probably be there around 7:30, MBTA-dependent.

(I'm the Daria-ish girl with foxxing awesome rainboots.)
posted by maryr at 3:53 PM on October 24, 2014


maryr, I look forward to seeing you at John Harvard's at 10 once Clover has processed your salad orders
posted by threeants at 3:55 PM on October 24, 2014


We'll be there by 8:30 or so! We're both tall and wear glasses. Um... we'll find you!

It's supposed to be a riff on the heavenly dish gobi manchurian, which it doesn't hit very accurately, but it's pretty independently delicious.

I'm wearing a burgundy cardigan and a stripy scarf. And will likely look slightly panicked.
posted by sarcasticah at 4:46 PM on October 24, 2014


I have bad timing. They are chopping more brussel sprouts right now. :(
posted by maryr at 5:02 PM on October 24, 2014


why is brussels sprout sandwich not year-round

why is brussels sprout sandwich not our governor

So is anyone at John Harvard's yet? I'm wearing glasses and a black jacket.
posted by Rustic Etruscan at 5:38 PM on October 24, 2014
