For those that are starting in Providence, I think we should all go to IHOP for breakfast at 8am.
TRAIN TO BOSTON IS AT 9:43AM. That gets us in just shy of 11am. Roundtrip fare is $15.50.
There is a small possibility the Mrs and I may attend post-work (1800hr) shenanigans.

We get to meet the infamous Mrs?! I'd be honored!
it's a full weekend gathering, right? Driving from NY to Boston through friday traffic is gonna be balls - I was hoping to come visit on Saturday or something?
I might be able to get that friday off, I'm going to check.
Cainad, Enki, other CT spags, if you want carpool, lemme know
I can only have Friday off. That weekend is an SCA event called Clan Wars at the RI Highland Games. I don't know if Richter is still planning to go, but I will be working at the bar.
Yeah, fuck, this is the day I fly down to DC. :sad:
IIRC Leln is checking out that day for joining us.
I'm not sure if I'm doing Highland Games or not. Depends what's happening and what people feel like.
Cram: Feel free to meet up with us in Providence too for Friday, if you feel like rolling in crazy early.
Crash space is available for they who wish to fight cats, dust bunnies and THE ENCROACHING STUFF for it. Dok has the couch

I've met the Mrs - good people!
Also, I can most likely make any post-1800hr shenanigans as well. I know there was talk of hitting a shitty dive bar (TC's Lounge having been proposed). Anything that evening should be no problem for me. Hopefully we can all meet up!

While it is possible to pass time in TC's from Noon until Six, it is not always advisable.
I'm not spending 6 hours in one bar. Better to walk around and see things, at the least. Hoping the other folks invovled agree.
Yes. At least, I surely hope you will.
Why do you think we would want to do that?
Re-read TOG's post.

Implies we would still be at TC's at 1800hr.
We could all meet at TC's AT 6?

I'm in the Boston area. If you all don't mind the presence of a noob, I can meet up.
Fuck you, noob!
Having known LMNO for some time and having recently met D-Cup I would like to get the chance to meet some of the rest of you bastards.
Though at some point that evening I'd head over to Central Square for goth clubbing (Xmortis)
Ooh club.
It's pirate night. :)

So, you all better sit quietly at TC's for 6 hours (I'll permit one (1) beer per person per 3-hour period max, or two (2) cokes/waters/non-alcoholic beverages of choice per same time frame) until I get there, dammit. Hands folded on laps, no talking. Everyone must remain seated the entire time with the following exceptions: 1) bathroom breaks (these are to consist of no more than 14 minutes per person per 3-hour period with no more than one allowed to leave per 14-minute period) or 2) cigarette breaks (these are to consist of no more than three (3) per 6-hour period, with no breaks occurring on a per-person basis more often than once in a given hour). ANY other movement will be met with the harshest penalties.
I hope everyone can have an enjoyable time prior to my arrival (following carefully the aforementioned guidelines)!

But seriously, I had no intention of forcing anyone into any specific plans. Hell, if it turns out that people would rather just do the lunch thing then fuck off somewhere else, great! I'd be disappointed I couldn't meet up with everyone, but I definitely don't want to force anyone into anything.
The last I heard there was the desire for shitty dive-bar-related happenings at some point. If that changed, no worries. If I can meet up with everyone that evening (in Boston, at a T-accessible wherever) then that would rock, as I'd like to see those I haven't in a while and see those I've never met for the first time. If not, you'll all have to remain figments of my overactive imagination.
No worries, all :)

If you don't feel like going to the gothfetishindustrialpirate night (or want to do more than one thing), just down the street from there is a sketchy little place called the Cantab. The upstairs bar is grimey and slightly foul, with an occasionally raucus bar band that could be worthy of some lulz.
Oooh, the Cantab. I love all the shitty little places in Cambridge. It reminds me of what Ybor City used to be.
Ah, the Cantab! Totally forgot about that place. Again, I'm game for whatever (although I do have limited funds), so as long as we can all agree on SOMETHING, hopefully I can meet up :D

Exmortis? Seriously? It was a game of extraordinary potential.
As for the Pirates, I'll be one myself hoistin' aloft His Noodliness The Flyin' Spaghetti Monster at the Fremont Solstice Parade in a few weeks (June 18th) and the Seattle Gay Pride parade in downtown Seattle the week after that.
The Seattle Atheists run this float, which makes my involvement kind of an unintentional infiltration-ish thing, right? But it's hilarious fun, and besides I know better pirate songs than they do.

I'm not sure how you would be infiltrating atheists as many atheists seem to follow the FSM and/or the IPU.
That's the weekend I'm going to be there.
You're going to be in Seattle on the 18th? Man, you're getting around.
Gathering on the 11th? I think I can do that..

Good luck! :D My work place is my bed, my living room, my car, and the million apartment doors I get to knock on. Census work is swell.
I'm trying to plan around several variables in my weekend. So can I get a summary of the agenda?
so far I've gathered that on friday, a bunch of providence spags are heading into boston early in the morning
on saturday ....?

I will have to meet you guys in Boston. I've calculated that I'll be able to get there at right around the same time, assuming I don't get horribly lost (my time estimate only allows for getting
slightly lost).
I should be able to show up wherever you guys happen to be around 6 or so.
On Friday, I will text Dok, or anyone else who's mobile number I have. If you guys are near Copley Square or environs at Noon, I will endevor to meet you and/or advise of how to get wherever we're going.
The evening plans will be more in the air for me.

I'd give mine to dimo, but he'd probably realize it was another stalking ploy. Sending you PM with my number, whoever else is definitely going to be there in the evening should have it too.
Saturday I'm working. You spags are on your own.
Richter and I exchanged numbers

MUST PACK
How in diddly am I supposed to focus on my test today with all this anticipation? :x
RAD.
I am committed to doing the xmortis piracy shtick with a whole bunch of folk, but before that I can totally come out! My boss is out so I don't plan to dress like a serious person for work. Also, I will totally bail early. Probably 4PMish. I'll be on my bike, so I can go wherever.
AND EEEEEEEEEVE. YAY.
The prospect of having Suu's number programed into it apparently was too much for my phone and it committed electric sepaku.
A replacement should be here by tomorrow afternoon, but if it doesn't show up as promised I may need to miss out on the ensuing events.

So uh...what's on for tomorrow?
Am I just meeting the rest of the contingent at the shield generator at 0-300 PVD station at 9:43am?

He did look really familiar. And I just can't put my finger on it.
THAT WAS A FUCKING BLAST!
seriously, after Cainad and I got back in the car, we commented on how we had been laughing nonstop for about 7 consecutive hours. And it kind of hurt! :horrormirth:
It was SO AWESOME to meet everybody! Dimo & Nikki, Roger, LMNO, Pope Tom, Nephew Twiddleson, you guys were a blast!
I'm disappointed I didn't get to spend more time chilling with NT and Pope Tom. You guys were awesome, it's a shame we started hanging out so early it was almost over by the time you guys showed up.
I'm just sorry Cainad and I couldn't stick around longer!
We have sucessfully re-planed Dok.
I'm still uploading pics, wrtiting out noteable events, and letting high points sloat to the top. Dok was tolerant of our hospitality's lows and highs. Shit, but it seemed liek one running commentary of weird from begining to end.
Thanks to everyone who showed up, the rest of you show up next time!
(and yes, next time is already in the works)

New York's not that far from here. Next time there's a meet up in the general area of New England/NY I'll be certain to get the time off of work and hang out for longer.
Things like this are why I'm starting to hate my career.
Nice to see that you pantywaists are still afraid to ever come to Maine, even though I've promised that I'll keep the chupacabras at bay for a few hours.
I got to hang out with Pope Tom for a bit, which was cool. Though if I have plans to be in NYC, Providence, or Maine, I'll post the info here. It's been awhile since I've been out of the Boston area, so I'm thinking of an excursion or two this summer/fall anyway.
This needs to happen again. I didn't want to leave! :x
I didn't either... So much so that I think I took a three-hour lunchbreak or something like that.
Let's just say that after Bukowski's and TC's, the rest of my day was not very productive.
It should have occurred to me that most of you would have to take the train back to Providence, and then check approximately when that would be. Live and learn. Definitely looking forward to meeting up with you all again.
As soon as things broke up NT and i headed to Central Sq. so I could get a leg up on the evenings drinking. He's a cool fellow, and I'm not just saying that because he bought the first round.
Then D-Cup part II later on at Xmortis.
Next time I'll have to engage in the serious drinking with the rest of you.

Me too! I almost wish we'd taken Dok's advice and buggered off to Providence; maybe then I wouldn't have crashed my car the next day :horrormirth:
All in all, a glorious way to spend a Friday and I'd do it again in a heartbeat.
SRSLY. In addition to the normal meetup fun, it was awesome to meet Dok in the flesh. He didn't expect a nonstop manic spree of WEIRD, we dodn't expect it of him, but we fell into it now and again. He's a gracious guest too and was fine with shooting the shit and gaming as much as the rolling around seeing sites, or the weird, when it happened. (We watched a bar fade form yankee to America to Tucson voer the course of several hours.)
Boston was a 10 hour streak of lulz on my brain. Goddamn.
I'm left with one hell of a reading list, a bunch of pictures to upload, horrible SCIENCE to commit, and a bunch of crazy experiences for the trouble.
Well worth it all. Shit's going down again next year.
Would've loved to be there. Boston isn't that far from here. Alas, job and family make it challenging to stray too far from home these days.

September showed up at Xmortis that night too. Though I don't think he entered the venue, just hung outside bumming cigarettes.
Some of my friends remembered who he was. It seems that once upon a time he was chased of of the greater Boston area (if not the Commonwealth of Massachusetts) for being really really annoying.

Roger commenting on the ambiguity of "Jesus saves from Hell" was hilarious. It was great to meet him too, since he came all the way from Arizona. The coolest thing though was that even though I am a noob, he was the first to recognize and greet me. I'm a bit shy around new people, so my regret is that the night didn't go on longer, since it would have gotten me more talkative (as I'm sure Pope Tom, and on a different occasion, dimo and LMNO can attest). But it was definitely cool to put some faces to names (recognized others from pics posted here, like Suu, Roger and Cram). I think I've run into a great group of people here, and I appreciate the opportunity to have met some of you IRL.

I'll be working, obviously, but I have wednesdays and thursdays off now so if you're coming up early at all gimme a holler, otherwise you're more than welcome in Castine. I've got spare crash space if you need it.
Dok has confirmed he had made it back safely. Bad flight arrangement was planned the whole way back, and 4 hour layovers were mentioned.

Cramulus, being a professor, professed all the reasons why it was wrong to eat a hot dog with a bun on Friday, not the least of which being that it officially made the Doktor into a Really Real Discordian. Dok's counter-argument remains controversial.

By the end of the day in Boston, things were rapidly going downhill, especially for Cram, once Richter decided to let us know how he felt about the whole sordid affair.

But Dok ended up stealing Richter's frag:

Lulz were had, pance were poomped, and applause for using the Porta-Potty was full and enthusiastic. Richter, if that high-five you gave me afterwards starts to itch, I recommend hand sanitizer.

Cramulus, being a professor, professed all the reasons why it was wrong to eat a hot dog with a bun on Friday, not the least of which being that it officially made the Doktor into a Really Real Discordian. Dok's counter-argument remains controversial.

This is cracking me the hell up
I'd just like to go on record and state that the new Roger 2.0 scares the hell out of me. He looks just as malevolent as the old one but now moar streamlined and agile. I'll bet now he could beat me in a running-away fight :eek:
The day was not bereft of weirdness..
(http://i463.photobucket.com/albums/qq354/dickthecat/0611101538.jpg)
as we were leaving the bar, we bumped into these two chicks I occasionally hang out with in connecticut. They were browsing for apartments in Boston and encountered us quite randomly. Smalllll fecking world!
the other weird incident was that dude at the park, September.
We just finished coffee, and had headed over to Boston Commons to sit around and annoy people. This dude named September walked up and asked somebody for a cig. He hung around us for the rest of the day, probably bumming 10 cigarettes or so in total. September looks familliar. I am certain I've talked to him at a game convention or something. I think he's one of the "harmless weird", people who are so bizarre that you'd want to keep arms length away, but they're probably not dangerous.
When he first walked up to our circle, he stopped in his tracks. "Are you guys in a LARP or something?"
I laughed and laughed and laughed, "Yes," I said, "You nailed it in on the first guess!"
September was on our wavelength. Later, he was trying to figure out what breed of weird we were. After he heard roger reference the subgenii, he leaned in--
"Do you guys have any flub for sale?" he asked, apparently referencing some subculture lost to me.
"No," I replied, "But we have plenty of fnord for sale."
"Plenty of what?" he asked.
"Fnord," I said.
September looked distressed. "I didn't hear you say anything, and yet I'm filled with anxiousness and paranoia."
Did no one think to take pics of him?

Not sure. He had glasses and crazy hair.
Now that I think of it, I think that I've seen him at shows around Boston and Cambridge.
Had an excellent time, I wrote up a few things, such as Suu's horrendous bender ( :lulz: ), etc. Will post tonight and tomorrow, as there is a fucking DISASTER at work that was allowed to grow while I was gone.
Will be too busy to post in the daytime for today and probably tomorrow.
Seriously. It was an awesome drunk. I never want to do it again.
I have to say, it was a real pleasure to meet Dok. He might have his "GO" switch duct-taped in the "on" position, but I haven't met a nicer guy in quite a long time.
Here's to ya, Dok. You are a mensch among monkeys.
Decor and fries hint to me that this was Spike's Junkyard Dogs? Mmm.
And yeah, damn, still upset to have missed the big day. Nonetheless had some fun the day before at Suu's establishment.

Shit! The scottish diet might pack enough fat molecules to cause instant coronary thrombosis in eight out of ten unacclimatised tourists but at least it tastes good. The english diet, on the other hand, is classed as extreme sadomasochism and, for that reason, only allowed to be sold in licensed sex shops.

Cornwall isn't part of England.
In fact, as far as I can tell, no part of the UK is actually part of England, at least to listen to them (you). Even the English claim to be Mercians or whatever the hell county they were spawned in.

Deirdre: Hot as fuck, crazy grin, always looks like she's about to kill a motherfucker. My kind of woman. Needs to eat some red beans and rice, though.
I feel I should add, by the way, that General Stuart really is a badass banjo player.

Kai was a madman, but I'm not sure what he did, exactly, because he wasn't there.
Yeah, I was unfortunately all the way over in Santa Fe. :argh!:
Next time if this happens, I'm going to have to send you a giant inflatable bug as surrogate.
KAI YOU WENT THE WRONG DIRECTION. LEARN2EAST.
Okay, tell you what. POTF (ie Kai's GF) loves LOVES Portland. I could probably convince her into the both of us going out there when you're up there this winter.

Aw. You can punch me in the bits, if it will make you feel better.
Woo hoo!

We should chip in and get him internet access.
Or do you think one Hirley0 is enough?
He claimed to be both a hermaphrodite and a leper in person. We've seen how this goes over online.
I admit to being creeped out when he talked about his a skin condition and then tried to lend people his ring of power. Though it's weird, I was getting the "have I ever met this guy?" vibe too. Maybe it's a natural talent he has, I'm sure it's useful if that's the case.
By the way Dok, you forgot me.

Incidentally, Dimo looks and acts like the smartass New Yorker from Band of Brothers (the one that winds up accidentally shooting himself with a Luger, although I did not witness him doing that.).
Richter, Suu, Cram, and LMNO are exactly what I've expected. What you see here is what you get. That's a good thing. Except when Suu punched me in the balls at the bar. That kind of sucked a bit.
EoC seemed very nice and calm at first, until he filled himself up with bad Belgian beer and started beating up hipsters. Then he was amazing.
Cainad spent all his time menacing the locals and making strong men cry, so I didn't really get to know him.
Pope Tom and Nephew Twiddington were quiet, but seemed very nice.
Darth Cupcake ripped me off. I paid her good money to kick me in the junk and she refused, citing lack of proper PPE.
Eve was also very quiet, but very nice.
Kai was a madman, but I'm not sure what he did, exactly, because he wasn't there.
Who did I miss?
You can't deny that they deserved it.
I immediately regretted not taking your advice and bringing the professor and myself down to Providence the next day, when I promptly crashed my car while on my way driving in the other direction. I shall have to allot more time for hanging out next time.
Cainad,

Whoa... what the Dok said.
Obviously if you're posting, you're ok-ish, but are you ok?
For realz.
My trusty, wonderful little Toyota Camry kissed the ass of a very sturdy pickup truck and is now 8 inches shorter in the front. Radiator and A/C are definitely fucked, hood's crumpled, and plastic bumper cover is all torn up, but it seems to be fixable. I got off with a warning for following too closely and was able to complete my journey to NJ (where I got to see Ian Anderson from about 15 feet away).
No damage to myself or the other driver, but I was just starting to settle into a life where I relied on my car on a daily basis.
I blame the use of a GPS in New Jersey.

What's next? Lithuanian?!
No, You are an exception. Your Dago/Greek enzymes protect you, even if you work in a den of Englishness.
Yes. But we serve more beer than anywhere else in Rhode Island. This is good for SOMETHING.
It's ridiculous, actually. 187 beers? WTF for? Most of it seems to be either American or English, having glanced at the menu, which means somewhere there are cows working overtime.
Actually about 30 of them are Belgian and 20 of them are German. Then we have those 3 or 4 Scottish ones that no one wants.
Scotland produces beer other than Belhaven?
Old Speckled Hen is pretty good, for an ale.
I said for an ale.
Also, it might not be Scottish, I just only had it in Edinburgh.
It kind of tastes like what you'd get if you'd make flat lukewarm beer out of whiskey.
I dunno, what's the deal with ale.

I will have to scientifically evaluate your assertion by visiting the British Beer Company and meticulously sampling each beer they have. Repeated samples of each beer will be necessary to verify the quality of each as well as remove skewed data resulting from increasing levels of inebriation.
I will then be able to prove you wrong, or prove you right.
I will also need other people to verify my findings.

I am now two-for-two on nearly getting myself killed while en route from CT to NJ. Third time will probably be the charm, so from now on I will only approach NJ by public transit. Fuck that noise.
Incidentally, lost 2 pounds over that vacation.
