Boston FAP Thursday April 20th...

...because I'm visiting and I wanna. Which is selfish, I know. Anyway, I will be staying with the good Mr. Perry and his wife for a couple of days pre-Terrastock and we're plotting ideas for a FAP that particular evening. Over on the ILM 'ask Dan' thread he's suggested these options:

---

Montien is a good FAP spot; reasonably-priced, great food and drinks, often free on weekday nights, and excellently located (theatre district, corner of Tremont and Kneeland almost directly between the green line Boylston stop and the orange line NE Medical Center stops).

Other suggestions:
The Good Life
The Cactus Club
The Pour House
Cambridge Brewing Co/Johnny Flattop's

---

All of which sound more than fine by me! Further thoughts, suggestions, etc. welcomed. I'm also up for lunch on that day too -- possibly also Wednesday the 19th but as I'm taking a red-eye flight the previous evening I'll more than likely be recuperating during that day!

is that patriots day?

It's stoner day, at least.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 3 April 2006 20:22 (twenty years ago)

wait a minute, it can't be patriots day, that's marathon monday. the 20th is a thursday i think.

― otto midnight (otto midnight), Monday, 3 April 2006 20:24 (twenty years ago)

It is indeed. Terrastock starts the following day, at which point my mind happily becomes mush.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 3 April 2006 20:47 (twenty years ago)

Which Boston are we talking about here? The original one, or the foreign one?

― Forest Pines (ForestPines), Monday, 3 April 2006 20:48 (twenty years ago)

Not the UK one.

sounds good - colette and i should be able to make it. i favour cambruidge cos i'm lazy...

― toby (tsg20), Tuesday, 4 April 2006 00:36 (twenty years ago)

Ah, you'll both be there? Sweet! A pleasure to see you again! :-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 4 April 2006 00:44 (twenty years ago)

Okay, here's a new thought -- based on what Geeta and Dan have said, and because I love me some good Ethiopian food, dinner at Addis Red Sea looks like the place to go. After that, drinks elsewhere back in Cambridge, to help Toby's laziness. ;-) Any objections?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 4 April 2006 00:57 (twenty years ago)

(I guess not. ;-) )

Anyway, still on for this Thursday -- any thoughts on when to meet? Does 6 pm sound logical?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 17 April 2006 18:35 (twenty years ago)

so is this happening? are the dan perrys(perries?) coming? it would be cool to meet you both, especially after seeing the ally/tom wedding photos.

― colette (a2lette), Wednesday, 19 April 2006 00:48 (twenty years ago)

Yes, Perrys will be there! I suggest we meet for drinks at 6 because Joei will be at a voice lesson until 6; we can do dinner at 6:30? And let's meet in the South End because the restaurant's in the South End?

― Dan (And So On) Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 19 April 2006 01:36 (twenty years ago)

I'd join in but I have work and a night class until 9 pm. Maybe I could catch a drink. If you are staying until the weekend, there's an all-night minimal/electro/disco party going down on Saturday.

― Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Wednesday, 19 April 2006 03:00 (twenty years ago)

Argh, I have a solo Sunday morning otherwise I would consider going to that!

― Dan (Stupid Church Gig) Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 19 April 2006 03:12 (twenty years ago)

details please! is there generally much electro/minimal in boston? i'm here for another 4 weeks and have yet to find evidence of anything...

― toby (tsg20), Wednesday, 19 April 2006 03:20 (twenty years ago)

Yes, there is some stuff going on! Drop me an email and I can hook you up with info.

James F!@.$%^ Friedman is also spinning at the Middlesex in Cambridge this Thursday night.

i'll be in cambridge, ma on may 6th! not before then, though...

― geeta (geeta), Wednesday, 19 April 2006 04:54 (twenty years ago)

may 5th, i mean

― geeta (geeta), Wednesday, 19 April 2006 04:55 (twenty years ago)

Ah good, this thread sparked up again. :-)

So yeah, as Dan sez, why not aim for drinks at 6ish somewhere near Addis Red Sea, aiming for dinner between 6:30 and 7 pm. Eric B., who posts every so often on ILM, will be making an appearance, as will Devon, who a number of us met at the last Terrastock FAP back in 2002. All others welcome, though!

I suppose the thing to do is suggest a bar to meet at before going to Addis...anyone?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 19 April 2006 17:55 (twenty years ago)

Delux?

― Dan (And So On) Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 19 April 2006 18:32 (twenty years ago)

hahaha i was just about to suggest Delux!! MINDMELD!!

― geeta (geeta), Wednesday, 19 April 2006 18:32 (twenty years ago)

if i remember correctly their martinis are awesome.

― geeta (geeta), Wednesday, 19 April 2006 18:34 (twenty years ago)

We have a plan.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 19 April 2006 18:37 (twenty years ago)

Their EVERYTHING is awesome; I love that place.
