The New England Browncoats are going on a tomb-raiding mini-shindig!

When: Saturday, November 13. Meet at noon.

What: Lunch and then TOMB! What is TOMB? It's a live-action thriller adventure where we are raiding the mummy's tomb. It just opened and we hope it's as fun as it sounds. For more info see the website:
http://www.5-wits.com

Where: TOMB is near the Fenway T stop in Boston (see the website for directions). Cephme has suggested a nearby restaurant called Thornton's Fenway Grill for lunch.

Cost: Lunch is what you pay for it. TOMB costs $16 as long as we get in by 6:00. Entry is timed -- they stagger people in groups about 15-20 minutes apart so that you aren't all in the same spot at the same time.

Note: We can call ahead for reservations if we know for sure who is coming. Or we could meet at TOMB, buy our tickets first for an afternoon time, then go to lunch and come back. Stay tuned for details.

Also we do have a discussion list for New England Browncoats!

I'll be there! i live like a few minutes walk from fenway:) One of my friends might come as well, but i'm not sure yet. we should definitely take a group trip to coldstone either before or after. it's right there, and it's the yummiest ice cream ever, and my friend saili works there:)

Cool! The general plan is to meet at TOMB, but then go for lunch and actually do TOMB later. So maybe it would be time for ice cream afterwards.

Lissa,
Do you agree with Thornton's for lunch or is there a better closer place?

RADEGUND

Thursday, October 21, 2004 11:24 PM

Lissa, if we get a minimum of 12 people then we can reserve in advance and get $2 off the ticket price. Right now we're just about at that point, so if you could confirm whether or not your guest is coming that would be handy.

cephme-i don't really know about thornton's or other places, but i can find out from my friends that have been here for a few years.

radegund-one way or another, i WILL bring a guest:) i think my friend megan is coming, but if she doesn't i'll make someone else come with me.

Well, you don't have to drag someone along just to make 12 people -- we've got 3 weeks left to recruit! On the other hand we do have one other non-Browncoat coming so there will be at least one other person who will have no idea what we're talking about.

LISSA

Friday, October 22, 2004 1:32 AM

lol, no i wanna bring someone:) speaking of which, when do you need #'s by? just so i can make sure i know who exactly of my friends are coming:) college students are so flaky...lol:)

We have three weeks yet so I'm not in a rush. I figure I'll see if anyone joins up over the weekend, then send an initial email to TOMB. I don't think I have to pay in advance, just tell them in advance that X number of people is coming. I suppose I should actually contact them about that, though, and not just assume!

ok, i'll try to get some confirmations from a couple people to bring us up to 12:)

Oh, fear not! We've passed 12 attendees. All is well. I'm just hoping to catch more folks who might not have heard about the plan.

If we go over 15 then we get divided up into two groups, so do let me know if anyone else is coming. It's not a problem, I just have to call and update the reservation.

I have you down plus one guest.

LISSA

Friday, October 29, 2004 1:14 AM

one guest should be fine:)yay for having enough people though!

Just giving this a bump so everyone remembers.

Sorry I have not been around much in the past few weeks. Was in Maine working on the election and then recovering. Haven't really had time or desire to be social lately. This weekend will be good. Very full. Taking mom to see the art deco exhibit at the MFA on Friday, our mini shindig on Saturday, and a Beaver Ecology class with the Audubon society on Sunday. Hopefully will get me out of my funk. :/

bumpalicious.

i'm bringing my friend megan, who has just recently become a firefly fan:) that's right, i converted her! mwahaha...

~lissa, spwhore

CEPHME

Tuesday, November 9, 2004 12:39 PM

Excellent Smithers. My friend Julie is not willing to be converted so she is just joining us for Tomb. She is a real movie buff so I at least got her to agree to seeing the BDM with us in April. See you, finally, on Saturday.

LISSA

Tuesday, November 9, 2004 9:37 PM

when/where are we meeting exactly? or did i just miss that part...

Tuesday, November 9, 2004 9:39 PM

Meeting at noon at the tomb. Directions at www.5-wits.com

I will then walk the group over to thorntons. See ya then.

LISSA

Tuesday, November 9, 2004 9:39 PM

oh, and i guess there's a good place for lunch right in landmark, next to amc fenway. it's like texas grill or texas steakhouse or something...i'll ask saili when she gets home:) unless we already have reservations or something...

it's sooo cold out, so close is good:) where is thornton's exactly?

~lissa, spwhore

CEPHME

Tuesday, November 9, 2004 9:43 PM

It is melissa's deal so I do no know if we have reservations or not. I've never eaten that the Texas BBQ place, but either would be fine with me. Thorntons is about 2 blocks away (other side of the parking lot across from the texas place and back one street).

Cold? I thought you were from Maine.

LISSA

Tuesday, November 9, 2004 9:50 PM

i am from maine, but can't i still get cold?? hehe:) i'm not going to the dining hall tonight cause it's too cold to make the walk lol. yay delivery!

He he. I lived in Yarmouth, Maine a couple years back when we had that week of -10 air temp -40 wind chill and where it was -55 in Alagash (spelling?). Now that is cold! I slept that week with a full set of sweats, sock, gloves and a hat on. My appartment was pretty well insulated, but not that well.

Tip the poor sap making the delivery well. He/She will be out all night.

This is just a *bump* to you, Lissa! We have 17 people now so we will take the TOMB tour in two groups. Be at TOMB at noon for lunch.

Directions are at http://www.5-wits.com/

See you there!

We are too pretty to die.!

Both groups made out alive. Was a good deal of fun. Happy to have met everyone... and no the gators did not get me. (Though I still do not know how that rumor got started.... maybe it was my feigned scream when Nadya(Amy's) friend (who's name escapes me) was pretending to be a viper and bite me with her hand. I have to say it is a good thing I did not take after Bonet Bob and wear a skirt to the mini-'dig. The "vipers" would have produced a Marylin Monroe Subway scene moment.... and that would not have been pretty.

Laters all,
