Late February or early March? Thoughts? ---

I’m (probably) up for it. ---

I plan to be up in Framingham on the 12th-13th of April. Maybe even arriving the day before. Sunday the 11th. So not for the Boston Dopefest, but as a second get-together, maybe a group of us could meet again. Last time I was up that way, I think you had a broken wing Winston. ---

So not for the Boston Dopefest, but as a second get-together, maybe a group of us could meet again. Last time I was up that way, I think you had a broken wing Winston. OK. We’ll call it a mini-Dopefest and maybe catch all the stragglers that couldn’t make it to the Main Event™. ---

Thread Note: I think McCormick & Schmick (at Quincy Market) should NOT be the place we meet - way too expensive. Maybe the Green Dragon (which is right around the corner from McCormick & Schmick). ---

Agreed. And just to throw it out there, Durgin Park should be far more pleasant in the winter months. ---

Love to, but not on a weekday or I probably can’t make it. ---

Weekends are great for me, but a weekday night is also good. I’m on the south shore but I work in Malden so anywhere within the subway system is cool! ---

I could probably make it on a weeknight, but not on the weekends. ---

Friday Feb. 19, 7 PM, at Durgan Park in Boston. Friday is good because it’s sort of _both_ weekend and weekday. sort of. ---

Earlier is better for me, but I can always spend the time doing some shopping. ---
