Your brainstorming looks great so far, Isabel! And you do have a point about pumping myself up for the big city and a potential encounter with the TSA </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boston-meetup-date-confirmed/page/2#post-1183503 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 20:48:40 +0000 Isabel 1183503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous Sveta ! &nbsp; I think that I may stay in the city on Friday night or Saturday&nbsp;with you guys. &nbsp;So that would be at least 4 of us sharing somewhere. I am a camping girl, so I am with you . &nbsp;A tent in the living room ( just for fun ) on a yoga mat in a sleeping bag - my type of fun. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;: &nbsp; )</p> <p>Too bad, Angie doesn't need the houseboat. &nbsp; LOL ! &nbsp;( Angie, I hope that you know I was kidding....though Sveta and I may end up there and kayak up the river to the meet-up. )&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boston-meetup-date-confirmed/page/2#post-1183496 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 20:37:29 +0000 Sveta 1183496@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Isabel, I am SOOOO totally into the sharing - hotel room, apartment , a hut in the woods, a place on the floor mat - anything to allow me to come and meet all of you!!!!<br />My head is spinning right now from trying to arrange a 3 way flight in a way that it is not more expensive than a regular flight so it gets approved at work so I don't have any brainpower left in me for any other logistics. If somebody can help me out with accomodations I would be ever so grateful!!!!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boston-meetup-date-confirmed/page/2#post-1183475 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 20:11:36 +0000 Angie 1183475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOW.

YAY &nbsp;!!!! &nbsp;Diana will be emailing all of us so we can start figuring out hotels and rides and such. Hotels in Boston can be very expensive, especially once you start throwing in food costs. &nbsp;And some charge by adult in the room. &nbsp;In the private emails, you can also let me and Diana know your budget. &nbsp;If Diana doesn't mind, I can look into accommodations as she is planning the day with Angie and GREG ! &nbsp;Let us not forget GREG !!!!! &nbsp; &nbsp;; &nbsp;)&nbsp;</p> <p>I want to throw out there, for thought, that there appear to be apartments for rent in Boston. &nbsp;I found some through VRBO &nbsp;( Una Thank you AGAIN !!!!! &nbsp;) . &nbsp;Some have minimum stays but we could probably convince someone to let us do a 1 or 2 night stay. &nbsp;This one is for 3 people, but we could sneak in more, I have sleeping bags and blow up mattress from camping. &nbsp;The pricer per night is $275. &nbsp;There would be a kitchen and a living room. &nbsp;The upside is that I could go check it out to make sure it is ok and safe. &nbsp;This is just one example.&nbsp;</p> <div><br /></div><div><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.vrbo.com/292655">http://www.vrbo.com/292655</a></p> <p>WOW, I just saw the list. &nbsp;We may need a house ! &nbsp;</div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boston-meetup-date-confirmed/page/2#post-1183282 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 16:01:40 +0000 Diana 1183282@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi everyone, </p> <p>I've just sent an email out to everyone who has PMed me so far.&nbsp; Please let me know if you don't receive it soon.&nbsp; </p> <p>(Janet, I took the liberty of adding you to the list since I already have your email.&nbsp; Hope that's OK!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boston-meetup-date-confirmed/page/2#post-1183238 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 14:54:52 +0000 Diana 1183238@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay! This is shaping up to be a great meetup! </p> <p>I'm planning on sending out a group email later today so we can start planning in earnest and people can coordinate travel. No solid plans as to location but I am sure it will be Centrally located and close to the subway. Trains, bus, and planes all feed directly into the subway. No need for a car. I don't even drive! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boston-meetup-date-confirmed/page/2#post-1183237 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 14:53:43 +0000 Sveta 1183237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Unfortunately it looks like I cannot swing the Boston hotel cost at this time on my own. If anybody from out of town wants to share the room and cost please let me know. I need to know this by mid-week as I have to book my flights for the work trip very soon and need to know if I book it with the stay in Boston or not. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boston-meetup-date-confirmed/page/2#post-1183228 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 14:46:14 +0000 Janet 1183228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, I'm still in Chile right now (but blessedly with a great wifi connection in a cafe that is also playing good music), but when I get home the day after tomorrow, I'll be looking at my schedule to see if I can make a train trip up.

I'm checking the train schedule (coming from Connecticut)&nbsp;and trying to figure out if I should arrive Friday night&nbsp;or late Saturday morning. I don't know Boston at ALL.

I usually stay at the Long Wharf Marriot. It is super convenient. I won't have a car either.</p> <p>ETA on Sunday 3/2: I just realized I sign up for a cakepop class the day after the meetup. I am going to find out train schedules to be sure I can make it back on time. Please mark me as tentative. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boston-meetup-date-confirmed/page/2#post-1181914 Sat, 01 Mar 2014 22:54:42 +0000 Anonymous 1181914@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Count me in.

The trouble is making one!&nbsp;</p> <p>Down near the cyclorama and the BCA&nbsp;on Tremont street there are a lot of great restaurants. Beehive, Aquitaine, Stephanie's (same as the one on Newbury we had one of the past YLF meet ups at), B&amp;G Oysters, Addis Red Sea (Ethiopean), Mela (upscale/gourmet&nbsp;indian), to name my favorites. </p> <p>If you are down that way, be sure to check out the Mills Gallery before dinner/before it closes&nbsp;-- it's small, but is one of my favorite galleries in the whole city. (And if you do go, take a peek in the bathroom because often but not always the exhibit extends into there, too!)&nbsp;</p> <p>It's right next to Beehive, which is fun restaurant/bar with live entertainment (jazz). If you go to Beehive, here's a fun factoid: the area where the band plays&nbsp;used to be a bizarre&nbsp;little alternative theater... and DH and I had one of our first dates there!</p> <p>Between Beehive and the BCA theater is the Cyclorama. If it is open to the public, GO IN and check it out. The cyclorama is&nbsp;&nbsp;an amazing piece of Boston architectural history. Not a lot of people even know it exists.&nbsp;</p> <p>Here is the calendar for BCA, Cyclorama, and Mills Gallery:</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.bcaonline.org/calendar/calendar-of-events.html">http://www.bcaonline.org/calen.....vents.html</a></p> <p>Advise if you want to see any of the shows, get your tickets now.&nbsp;</p> <p>Walk up Tremont towards the SoWa district and there's Tremont 647 which is one of my favorites (I even bought a copy of&nbsp;the chef's signed cookbook, and I don't really cook, ha).&nbsp;</p> <p>I agree with Mochi, the SoWa first fridays are a lot of fun! There are the professional galleries with store fronts, then there are the artist studios in the buildings - you can traipse through these for hours on end and never hit them all.&nbsp;</p> <p>Mochi - your friends' art looks familiar! I have probably walked through that gallery! Also I think I have eaten at Coppa. Is it across from Orinoco? DH and I were once driving around exploring and discovered a new restaurant in that area that was awesome, a hidden gem, but we've since tried to find it again and have had no luck. I am wondering if it was Coppa. We are always trying new restaurants so I will be interested in your recommendations -- in south end and beyond.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p>
