I may be in, but it depends on how I’m feeling and if I’m back at work yet. So dont count on me for plans, but if I can make it, I’ll stop by. ---

I will likely be in for a dinner. Fire + Ice has mediocre food but it’s a good place to have a large group. I’ve been to several big gatherings at the one in Harvard Square as well as the Copley one. But it is a flat buffet-style fee, so anyone not wanting to spend the money would be in trouble. ---

There’s one in Copley? ---

> [@tdn](#): > > There’s one in Copley? About a block to the east. Why are you asking? You said you hated the place. Stage 2 of my root canal went well. It’s kinda weird when the novocaine wears off and my mouth _doesn’t_ hurt. Still need the permanent filling, but my mouth should be back to fully operational status soon. For that matter, how can you hate a place where _you make your own food?_ ---

How do you folks feel about **Dick’s Last Resort**? It’s moved from its home at the Pru to a new one at Quincy Market. I haven’t been there since they moved, but the old place had a loose atmosphere, catered to large partying groups, and wasn’t grotesquely expensive. They’ve got great ribs, it’s not crowded, and it’s easily accessible, being near Faneuil Hall and the red, orange, and green lines. > **[Home - Dick's Last Resort -](https://dickslastresort.com/)** > > Menu HOME LOCATIONS DALLAS, TX GATLINBURG, TN INDIANAPOLIS, IN LAS VEGAS EXCALIBUR HOTEL & CASINO FREMONT STREET MYRTLE BEACH, SC NASHVILLE, TN NEW ORLEANS, LA ORANGE BEACH, AL PANAMA CITY BEACH, FL PIGEON FORGE, TN SAN ANTONIO, TX SAGINAW, MI... > **[Dick's Last Resort - Boston, MA](https://www.yelp.com/biz/dicks-last-resort-boston)** > > Dick's Last Resort - CLOSED, 254 Faneuil Hall Market Pl, Boston, MA 02109, Mon - 11:00 am - 10:00 pm, Tue - 11:00 am - 10:00 pm, Wed - 11:00 am - 10:00 pm, Thu - 11:00 am - 10:00 pm, Fri - 11:00 am - 11:00 pm, Sat - 11:00 am - 11:00 pm, Sun - 11:00... ---

I know some of us are more familiar with each other than others, if you want to join us, but are worried about finding the group, drop me a PM and we’ll figure something out. ---

Short girl w/ a vast collection of shoes checking in. I need to direct **Contrary** to this thread. I’ll send her a PM if I ever wake up (took the red eye from Las Vegas last night, right into this lovely weather we are having. Finally was able to nap, only to have my mom call to see if I got home OK.) ---
