I am in Boston for a conference from the 23rd to the 25th of October, dates in town from the 22nd to the 26th or so. The conference is at Harvard Div. Pint? EDIT: John Harvard, 8:30, Friday.

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

Ok!

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.

PinkMoose — Tue, 26 Aug 2014 15:23:54 -0800

is Friday, the 24th at 8:30 too late? Or Saturday brunch?

By: PinkMoose

PinkMoose — Tue, 26 Aug 2014 15:26:26 -0800

I am also interested in local ciders, including Harpoon, Bantam and Downeast.

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.

By: threeants

threeants — Tue, 26 Aug 2014 17:28:38 -0800

as long as there are nacho(e)s

By: threeants

threeants — Tue, 26 Aug 2014 17:30:20 -0800

I also don't really understand brunch, I'm afraid someone would notice I'm Jewish and hit me with a croquet mallet

By: PinkMoose

PinkMoose — Tue, 26 Aug 2014 17:32:31 -0800

do we want to lock the friday down?

By: the young rope-rider

the young rope-rider — Tue, 26 Aug 2014 17:34:44 -0800

Threeants, we love brunch. You must have missed the last meeting (because it was at brunch)

sry, I'm not on the listserv for people who own pink shorts / a boat

By: backseatpilot

backseatpilot — Tue, 26 Aug 2014 18:09:51 -0800

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

By: the young rope-rider

the young rope-rider — Tue, 26 Aug 2014 18:16:09 -0800

I assume he has 18 feet, barring an unlucky accident

By: threeants

threeants — Tue, 26 Aug 2014 19:33:13 -0800

depends which dimension we're talking. WINK WINK. (I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT A BOAT, LOL, WINK WINK WINK)

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.

I also don't really understand brunch, I'm afraid someone would notice I'm Jewish and hit me with a croquet mallet You are not finding the right brunches.

So, jokes aside, I think Friday sounds great. :)

By: Rustic Etruscan

Rustic Etruscan — Wed, 27 Aug 2014 19:39:05 -0800

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.

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?

By: 1adam12

1adam12 — Thu, 28 Aug 2014 14:16:47 -0800

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

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

By: Rustic Etruscan

Rustic Etruscan — Thu, 23 Oct 2014 06:22:48 -0800

Whoa, I totally forgot this was happening. Thanks for commenting, sarcasticah.

WOOOOOO!! See you all there! Should we ask for the MetaFilter group? How will we find you all??

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!

I secretly wish this meetup started sooner I might be frozen by the time I arrive

By: maryr

maryr — Fri, 24 Oct 2014 15:53:51 -0800

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.)

By: threeants

threeants — Fri, 24 Oct 2014 15:55:27 -0800

maryr, I look forward to seeing you at John Harvard's at 10 once Clover has processed your salad orders

By: sarcasticah

sarcasticah — Fri, 24 Oct 2014 16:14:19 -0800

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

OMG WTF THE BRUSSELS SPROUT SANDWICH IS BACK?!?!?!? BUT IT'S NOT IN?!?!?!?! so many strong, consecutive emotions right now try the Sharan if they have it in Harvard Square yet, it's good.

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.

By: maryr

I have bad timing. They are chopping more brussel sprouts right now. :(

By: threeants

threeants — Fri, 24 Oct 2014 17:06:09 -0800

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.
