Re: [Boston.pm] arriving tonight - emergency social meet monday or tuesday?
Was there any consensus on a date (tuesday or monday) and/or a place for my emergency social meet? Alas no, Uri seems to have gotten sidetracked preparing a presentation for last week's technical meeting. Something in Harvard square might be a nice change of pace? In particular, of possible interest to some is a science fiction puppet show about the Standard Model this evening (19h) at The Democracy Center. ___ Boston-pm mailing list Boston-pm@mail.pm.org http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm

RLS I'm at the Harborside Inn starting around 6pm tonight. I won't have a RLS car, but I'm sure the trolley or cabs will get me places. :) that is on me. i say we meet on tuesday night at 7pm. i haven't figured out a place yet but i will. any suggestions are welcome from the list so send them in. the harborside inn is near faneuil hall which is full of tourist traps and expensive parking so i say not around there. our usual place cbc is possible. so is redbones or even the flatbread pizza place we met at recently. thanx, uri -- Uri Guttman -- u...@stemsystems.com http://www.sysarch.com -- - Perl Code Review , Architecture, Development, Training, Support -- - Gourmet Hot Cocoa Mix http://bestfriendscocoa.com - ___ Boston-pm mailing list Boston-pm@mail.pm.org http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm

Other venues in Harvard are Grendel's Den, Charlie's Kitchen and Grafton Street. Grendel's is somewhat smaller, so it depends on how busy they would otherwise be. Grafton and Charlie's both have outdoor seating, but Charlie's is alley-side with large umbrella's which would be good since it looks like rain. ___ Boston-pm mailing list Boston-pm@mail.pm.org http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm

Re: [Boston.pm] arriving tonight - emergency social meet monday or tuesday?
To my mind, the best reason to dine at Grendel's is to celebrate their historic supreme court victory for separation of Church State. (Though some migh perefer to celebrate anglo-saxon arts and letters, or monster rights.) But I would agree that's not a compelling reason to take a drinking crowd there.

SS == Steve Scaffidi step...@scaffidi.net writes: SS Harvard Sq. has some excellent options. I actually like the food at SS Charlie's, and it's relatively inexpensive. Their beer and bartending SS are OK, but not great. Grendel's, last I was there, was both expensive SS and had a terrible, boring beer selection. I'm thinking someplace with SS a really good beer selection would be ideal. How about the Sunset SS Grill Tap? one issue with charlie's is space for a group inside. downstairs that can't be done as it is all small booths. maybe upstairs. we have been to the sunset in the past a couple of times and it is a good change of pace. definitely one of the best beer selections anywhere and reasonably decent food. i would vote for it (and being the leader of vice, i may just pick it). uri -- Uri Guttman -- u...@stemsystems.com http://www.sysarch.com -- - Perl Code Review , Architecture, Development, Training, Support -- - Gourmet Hot Cocoa Mix http://bestfriendscocoa.com - ___ Boston-pm mailing list Boston-pm@mail.pm.org http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm
