PROVIDENCE/BOSTON MEET UP

[Q. G. Pennyworth]

I have a cheap CZ ring just for such an occasion

[Luna]

Although, a Saturday excursion to George's island in the harbor could be pretty cool.  They have hibachi-like things, we could play with fire and do some grilling.

Hell yes.  Gives us somewhere to park our asses, too.

I like this.

Incidentally...  This is gonna be the most awesome (close enough) birthday ever. 

Yeah, I have something special in mind for that.

I am excited.  Or terrified.  Or both. 

Hey Luna, you remember when we discussed using your birthday as an excuse to get a bunch of us together, dress up, and then start hitting dive bars?

Context-the basic premise is that the group of exquisitely-dressed gentlemen and ladies descend on seedy bars and pretend we just came from a wedding where a bride/groom didn't show. There were some ideas we were batting around. One possibility was that at each bar a different person poses as the jilted lover surrounded by caring friends. Points would be awarded based on sympathy offers (drinks, fucks, bad breakup stories, whatever) and reactions (embarrassed stoicism, slinking out of the bar, demanding the whiner man up, &c.). The problem is obviously the amount of time needed at each bar, and the fact that we don't want anyone getting alcohol poisoning. Another possible version involved Richter posing as the bereft husband-to-be. Once we'd worked up a proper level of sympathy among the other patrons, have EOC or Dimo run in looking frantic and spewing some story about getting held up on the Mass Pike and his phone dying. Whoever keeps a straight face the longest wins.

We were also trying to think how we could guarantee not getting arrested over the course of the evening. The way I see it, having the Good Reverend along for the ride can only be an asset if he thinks it'd be fun.

We probably won't want to waste Roger-time on this. I just figured I'd throw it out there.

That would be a BLAST, but we will have my daughter with us, so bars are pretty much out.  But the basic idea is usable.

In any case, what we're REALLY looking forward to is LMNO's BBQ idea.

YES.

BBQ: Luna's place has a back yard
Boston Harbor Island stops would be a fine palce too, and LMNO knows that grilling shiz.  I'm only fair after the initial conflagration.

You know, for TRUE style points, we could be the jilted wedding crew at an "Applebee's" or "Olive Garden" type chain.  It's a special sort of asshole who goes there to get hammered.

For added fun, we need a prop ring.  It gets flushed down the john by the jiltee, and then phone calls come in from a penitent bride.

I am stifling the comment that I have a ring that I'm not using.  I'd probably regret, eventually, having it flushed.

We do a BBQ, I can probably be convinced to do a batch of "shut up and eat it."

Twid, if I pick up that accent, I will hold you personally responsible.  My revenge will be legendary.

However, there's another beer in it for you if you infect TGG with it while they're up.

Roger?  Anything else y'all are inclined to see out here?

We're coming out to see you guys.

Anything that helps that happen in a relaxing atmosphere is exactly what I'm after.  Hell, the backyard BBQ sounds even better than the one in the park, as it's a lot less hassle, and no park bathroom experience, if you catch my drift.

Either way.  I can not vouch for the condition of the grill thing back there, but folks are more than welcome.  Richter, Dimo, leln, Suu, EoC, test BBQ once the weather clears.

Question.  Really important question:  Is it easier in general for Boston Spags to get to Providence, or for Providence Spags to get to Boston?  Because it seems to me that a back yard thing would be far more convenient and relaxing/enjoyable than in a public park.

Like I said, we want to see as many people as we can...And we'll be spending a MINIMUM of one day in Boston, anyway.

Since I'll have the car, anyone who needs to get a lift to or from Providence can jump in with me. If it's on a week night, Villager might be disinclined to attend (she goes to sleep early).

This will be Friday or Saturday.  Probably Saturday, because Richter has a Friday thing.
