Boston DIS meet Sat. April, 29--Jerry eats his weight in pork!

[MEG&MINNIE]

I saw "Fire & Ice", Monday while in Boston...now at least I know where I'm going! After leaving the Common Parking Garage,go up to The Public Garden and it's 2 blocks up on the Left.(Close to the John Hancock Bldg.,I think)Hope these directions help.

Oh, I know where I'm supposed to end up. I went to the meet there last fall. It was terrific. I can't wait to eat there again. I always worry obsessively about stupid stuff like this. You can all laugh at me on the 29th.

Purple duck, I sorry that you won't be able to make it. We'll all wear purple in mourning

Diane, can you get yourself on Boylston Street from the Boston Common Garage (I'm not sure where the garage lets you out, so I can't direct you how to get there). Once on Boylston, just walk towards the Back Bay, and take a left onto Berkeley, and it's one block down.

 

[goofy4tink]

A week left people.....so, who's still going???

 

[aengus]

we are still in does anyone know if there is a T-stop right near it? if so which?

 

[goofy4tink]

I think the Arlington stop is the closest one, but Karen might know better.

Arlington on the green line, or Back Bay on the Orange Line are the closest.

Aengus, PinkGirlyGirl, her boys, and I are meeting at Wellington Station and taking the T in together. I don't know if that is a doable option for you, but you'd be welcome to join us.

Woot! One more week from today!

Yes, Jellyrolls is holding my hand to make sure I get into the big city in one piece. Otherwise, I would never make it....

I cannot wait! This is my very FIRST Dis meet! Though I have to admit, I'm a little nervous too - not sure what to expect

 

[MEG&MINNIE]

We are still planning on going DD10 & myself...really don't know what to expect either , but we love Boston and want to give it a try.I hope it's a nice,sunny day...the Swan Boats are open and maybe we can catch a ride on them,too !!!See you all there!

 

[ImprovGal]

I'm still in!

Now how about that 'Wicked' today??!!

I absolutely loved it! Sets and costuming were amazing!! Fantastic performances by the whole cast!!

Just an FYI, meets are always more enjoyable when you bring the person who organizes the meets presents (right, Diane?)

 

[aengus]

wellington stop is doable for us, we would get on at Malden if heading that way. What time were you going to meet at?

LOL! Good question, Aengus! I'm waiting to hear the time too!

Oh bother...I knew I was forgetting something!!!!

Were you at the Opera House too??? We were at the matinee....waaay up in the air!!! Thought I was going to get a nosebleed, but it was marvelous. I simply loved it. DD wants to see it in NYC now...yeah, that's going to happen. We had a terrific time though. I wanted to hang out and try to meet some of the cast, but since we were with another mom and her dd, we didn't. They really wanted to get back to Westborough and meet the dh's for dinner.
But, I could see it again, and again...just incredible. I was sitting there, tears flowing down my face during Defying Gravity!!!! Just sent shivers down my spine.

I was indeed at the Opera House -- Saturday matinee as well. I was down in front, though. (I'm a Broadway In Boston subscriber and I snagged seat A101 for the Spamalot perks. <G>) I left right after the show because I had to head back to RI to run some errands.
I already submitted my Providence Performing Arts Center subscription request to see it again next year! I'd love to catch it in NYC at some point, though.

 

[TLinden16]

Well, if Aengus is going to be meeting us, and he'll be getting on the train at Malden, it would make sense to meet inside the turnstiles. So why don't we meet at about 11:15 at the bottom of the escalator on the right hand platform.

My dd was begging to do Providence in January last night!!!! I thought I was an early bird when I got our tickets, but alas and alack, I was not!!!

 

[aengus]

that will work for us.

[threeboysmom]

OK, that works for me too! I *think* I know where you're talking about, Karen - the platform where you stand for the T to take you into the city, correct?

See you at 11:15!
