[Atman]

2. Coincidentally, I'll be in Cambridge Saturday!

I just might have to stop by. I'll try to be wearing my BushCo shirt.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

5. Please come! Would love to meet you!

[Kathy in Cambridge]

6. Dupe

[ET Awful]

3. I'll be there.

Must be there, Quinn told me I had to go.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

9. Bring pics of Quinn!

[hyphenate]

4. I want to come

But right now, I'm not so sure. My van died the other night heading home from Boston, and I think it's the transmission. :( Where IS the People's Republik? I haven't been to Cambridge in about 16 years. (I was living in L.A. for 15 years!)

[Kathy in Cambridge]

7. Where are you coming from?

I know a cheap parking place...

[hyphenate]

12. Worcester

It's a pain in the ass without the car, though. It sucks, actually.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

25. Commuter rail into South Station, then Red Line to Central

pretty direct. Also, maybe there are other DUers in your area that you could carpool with?

[hyphenate]

45. I'm working on it....

I'm trying to coerce a friend to go with me, so we'll see what happens. :)

[StopTheMorans]

8. Mass. Ave between Central and Harvard Sq.

closer to Central

[TXlib]

10. You know you're from Boston if...

You call them "Mass Ave" and "Comm Ave".

[StopTheMorans]

13. when I first moved here from WNY 2 1/2 years ago

I asked my housemates (moved in with people I didn't know, all were native Mass. residents) where on Commonwealth Avenue BU was, and they all laughed at me (this was the day after I'd told them that I'd got hung up in traffic in Worcester <I pronounced it "Worchester">). there's a definite lingo around heah:)

[hyphenate]

18. So it's near where the old Orson Welles used to be?

There used to be a Chi-chis there too. Is it in that area?

[StopTheMorans]

19. sorry, I haven't been around that long

:) I've only lived here for 2 1/2 years.

[Kat45]

21. Yup, not too far from there.

It's on the other side of the street, a little further toward Central Square.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

23. Yup-right down the street

I grew up right around the corner from the Orson Welles.

:D

[matcom]

11. I'll Be There With Mrs Matcom

btw, its spelled People's Republik :)

[StopTheMorans]

14. but, but, but

if the Mrs. comes, you won't be frolicking with any cops, will ya? how will we find amusement?

[matcom]

15. you kidding?

she already KNOWS i'm crazy. no need to prove it to HER :bounce:

[StopTheMorans]

17. touche

[sniffa]

16. weee

[WilliamPitt]

[SarahB]

20. Out of towners...

Amaya and myself are taking the 90 minute drive from central Connecticut. :)

[Kat45]

22. I'll be there.

Bring some pictures of your kitties with you, RR. :-)

[Kathy in Cambridge]

24. I will-bring some pics of Grace!

[Kat45]

29. Will do.

[WilliamPitt]

26. Unfortunately, I'm going to be late

I am moving (again and for the last fucking time) tomorrow. Because the A#1 priority for my job is to have internet access, I had to get the cable guys in there STAT. The only time they had available was from 1-3pm on Saturday. Best case scenario has me at the bar by 2pm. Worst case? 4pm. I'll be there, but I won't be on time, alas.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

28. Are you staying the Cambridge or moving out of town?

[WilliamPitt]

50. Moving basically into downtown Boston

The South End is the city.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

53. Cool-I used to live there and loved it!

Lots of great restaurants/bars.

[curse10]

73. Shiznit, Will, we are neighbors

[matcom]

30. yeah well don't forget your Darts asshole!

i'm in the mood to perform another ASS-Whuppin' :D

[WilliamPitt]

51. Bite me

[Onlooker]

31. I'll be there, and will try to drag along a friend

Is this something that's done periodically? Like how often? How many people would you guess will show up? Just curious.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

32. Gatherings happen about every six months

Anwhere from a dozen to 30 or so people show up. Bring your friend-look forward to meeting you! You're from Cambridge, right?

:hi:

[NewHampster]

39. I think I spy a fleur-de-lis - You're not one of those

anti-american, democracy loving french spies, are you?

[Kathy in Cambridge]

41. Sacre bleu! You caught me!

My house is very tastefully decorated. Hence the French theme in the living room.

[NewHampster]

43. That'll cost you a beer
