Boston Meet UPDATED - OCTOBER 18th

[burberryplaid]

I've been dreading posting this, because I really wanted to go and was planning to go but some personal matters have come up and I'm not going to be able to make it. Sorry all..I hope you all understand.

What do we do if we don't have 20 people?!?

I'm thinking it may play out that way...

How does everyone feel about shifting gears and meeting at a restaurant somewhere instead? I think more people would be willing to come that way, too.

That's fine with me, I just want to see everyone. I know of a restaurant in Jamaica Plain that I can get us space in if people are interested. I'm sure there are other places that would have a semi-private space for us to take over, or we can just call with the numbers and make a reservation somewhere. The Stoneforge Grill in Easton near Stonehill has a side room that I'm sure we can get. I'm trying to think easy access and centrally located for people. Any other ideas?

Oooooh, I could meet at a restaurant

I've been sitting back and reading all the plans for the cruise and feeling sad that I couldn't go. (I get sea sick)

I am sorry the cruise plans didn't work out, but I am happy that I may be able to join you all.

Anyone like the Rainforest Cafe?????

Glad you can come!! My experience w/ the Rainforest Cafe is that I can't hear the person next to me. I think it would be hard for us to chat with each other.

I am up for whatever everyone wants to do... maybe if we can get people to list there towns or you can PM me if you don't feel comfortable we can find a "central" meeting location.

Watertown here!

In a previous post somebody mentioned Doyle's in Jamaica Plain near Franklin Park/Zoo. This might be a decent option since its approximately 8 minutes from Back Bay according to the website. I can't post links but google Doyle's in Jamaica Plain and you can see their offerings.

I'm in Shrewsbury so I'm about 30 minutes from Beantown.

 

[UrsulasShadow]

I'm okay with Doyle's. Do we need reservations for a group? Sounds like the brunch (9a-4p) is popular. Is there good parking? I'll drive anywhere, but I fear a lack of parking (got a biggish vehicle, not so easy to parallel park!).

Here's the website...http://www.doyles-cafe.com/

Okay..if it's a reasonably priced place, I can come. My issues right now are financial, and I just couldn't afford $40..but if it's less than $20 I think I can do it..if you guys will still have me!

 

[EDuke98080]

I was wondering what the time frame would be now? We have a fomal dinner Sat nite the 18th but would still like to come if the timing works. Boston is fine for us, we'll drive in from Palmer.

 

[DVCJones]

I am afraid that I will have to bring my children with me. They are well behaved, but would really enjoy a day out...KWIM?

Is Doyle's a place I can bring the kids?

 

[OKW Lover]

Val & I are OK with an alternative plan.

 

[Jacksmom99]

I know the owner's of Doyle's so I can make the arrangements to get us space. It's good food, reasonably priced. Also, there is free parking and it's pretty easy to find from the Jamaica Way or route 1. It's also near Forest Hill T-station.

I'm bringing DS9, so bring the kids! Doyle's is fine for kids. I can car pool and pick people up along the way. I'm coming from Norton.

Let's get a head count! Are around 15 or so?

There are no string or jug bands ...

 

[mejkjj97]

what time are you planning on meeting? I was unable to go previously but might be able to attend now due to changes in plans. I would love to try to attend

 

[Jacksmom99]

How does 11 am sound? We can do brunch and it leaves plenty of time for people to get to their evening plans.

That's fine by me. Party of one here.

 

[TSWJan78]

Ok.. looks like we have a plan... I have updated the first post so please check to make sure your number is correct and if you could let me know the age of your kids I will make sure we have some fun stuff for them as well.

Kim if you can find out the price for everyone that would be great too!!

 

[TSWJan78]

One more question... Does anyone know if Alex has seen our posts.. I would love to see if he could join us

 

[burberryplaid]

It's just going to be me at the meet.

I'm looking forward to it
