Sat October 18 at 3:00 PM, DM & HR's place
330 Boston Avenue, Medford, MA, USA (Map & Directions)
Help us warm our new house and celebrate DM's birthday with a beverage tasting of tasty beverages. Bring your favorite beers and/or exotic sodas (Moxie!) and we'll have a few of our own. Bonus activities include board games and noshing.
Note: location approximate. We'll memail those who RSVP with the exact address.
Our house is very accessible via public transportation. We're a little over a mile from Davis Square, and a few blocks from the 80, 94, & 96 bus routes. A little further is also the 101. There is ample street parking in our neighborhood.
Kids are welcome, but please be advised that the house is not explicitly baby-proofed.

I am now reading this thread in the new dark theme. This color is awful.
This comment has nothing to do with the party. Carry on.

I am going on a hiking trip that weekend but if the weather turns really crappy I will probably not go hiking because I am old and have no time for that kind of thing anymore. If that happens I will be more than happy to swing by the new pad.

Sadly, that's the exact time of my four-year-old's birthday party, but congrats!

Full house rehab achieved! High five, new old house! We'll try to stop by depending on the conditions on that day!

That's full house-rehab, not Full House rehab, to be clear.

Yay, a weekend meetup! And conveniently, I just lugged home a suitcase overloaded with midwestern craft beers. Looking forward to meeting y'all and not trying to rehabilitate the Tanners.

Party info has been sent via MeFiMail. If for some reason you didn't get it, please drop me a note and I'll re-send. Also, I ordered a big cake, if that entices you to come.
CAKE!

Pssst, re: party directions, if you are coming from Arlington or Lechmere, the 80 bus will also get you close.

Thanks maryr I forgot about the 80 - it stops in the same place as the 94 for reference.

If anyone's still watching this thread and not eating cake and drinking beer, we are running a little late because of babies and stuff, but we'll be there soon.

Yes, that was a great time in a very grown-up house. With a secret time warp basement!

Thanks for hosting this awesome party in your amazing house!! I am excited to report that DAISYACE has sacrificed herself to bear the weighty burden of preparing THE RELISH (which is, legally speaking, actually a CHUTNEY) for the next applicable meetup. May her stovetop range blister peppers with the temperature of a thousand suns. http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2012/02/hot-chili-chutney-recipe.html

You have a lovely house, congrats! Thanks for the hosting and the excellent cake. Clearly I need to use you guys as a resource for good local food purveyors.
