I'm down here in little Rhody... could make a shindig in Boston or other parts of Mass. This month is probably too late for me to plan ahead.

Firefly BBQ looks like the perfect place. A little billiards, some good eats, and some shiny conversation.

Don't forget Worldcon/Noreascon 4 in Boston in September... I'll be there.

Looks like we're narrowing it down to May 23rd at Firefly's in Framingham. Not confirmed just yet.

Ya'll think you could make it that day?

May 23rd works for me. Of course, most any other day would work too right now, so if someone else needs it changed I can still be there.

I'm in the Springfield area now, but I used to live in Natick. Where in Fram. is Firefly's
Do we want do do something at Worldcon in Sept?
...Or is that a given?

When faced with a moral question I ask myself; "What would The Lone Ranger do?"

Here is the Firefly's BBQ site:

I'm not very familiar with Framingham--only know how to get to the Premium Cinema! But there are directions on the site. It's in the "Super Stop N Shop Plaza"? I guess some lovely strip-mall type thing? But the food is supposed to be really good.

I've never been to Worldcon but I hope there will be a FF presence of some kind. And if we can get a regular Boston group, I'd also like to propose a visit to the Peabody Essex Musuem on the north shore where they have a complete 200-year old Chinese house on exhibit (yes, taken FROM CHINA and rebuilt IN THE MUSEUM!). I just saw a couple of weeks ago. Really cool.
