porcupine does Boston

or Marlboro, at any rate.

It looks like I’m going to be in Marlboro, MA for on a business trip for a couple of days the week after Thanksgiving (or the following week if that doesn’t work). Not sure exactly when yet, but it’s been approved and I’m trying to schedule it now. I’d love to meet up with local Dopers for dinner and/or drinks while I’m there. It will definitely be during the week, though - I won’t be there Friday night or anything like that.

So, whaddya think?

Not to cast aspersions, my dear porcupine, but after your last thread the concept of you doing Boston takes on an entirely new meaning.

Well that’s it. I’m changing my name.

I’m up for dinner and drinks. :slight_smile:

Only problem for me is getting to Boston. I’ll gladly hitch a ride with anyone coming from the Providence area. I’ll even chip in for gas and parking! :slight_smile:

Cambridge man here, be happy to toss a few back with ya’. :slight_smile:

Wicked, if I make it, I’ll be glad to swing by and pick you up. speaking of, are you going this weekend to boston, and do you need transportation?

Wooooooooo! Looks like this may come together. Tuesday th 27th may be the day, but nothing’s definite yet.

Just booked the trip. I’m flying out the afternoon of Monday, November 26, and flying home the afternoon of Wednesday, November 28. So either Monday night or Tuesday night would be a good dinner/drinks time, Tuesday preferred in case my flight is delayed. I will have a car, but I’m not familiar with the area at all, so somewhere easy to find from my hotel in Marlborough would be preferable.

Who knows a place? Gotsta know where to go. :slight_smile:

I’ll see what I can do! Boston during the week is kinda iffy for me right now, but I’ll try to make it!

Blu, maybe we can go together!

Looks like I am going to be in meetings til 6pm on Tuesday the 27th. So getting together 7-ish is probably fine. As mentioned, I’m going to be in Marlborough, but I have no idea if this is close to anyplace that would be a good spot to meet…

Hey Pammipoo…sorry I never responded about BoDope. I’ll let you know if I need a ride. If Rasa is going, there’s no need for you to come all the way into Fall River to pick me up. If she’s not going, I do need a ride. :slight_smile:
Rasa, I’d be happy to ride with you again, maybe I won’t get lost this time. :wink:
I don’t know any restaurants up there, so I’m no help in that department. I’m not picky though, so anywhere is fine with me.

I asked one of the folks in the office in Marlborough what she suggested.:

Yes? No? Other suggestions? I’d vote for the first suggestion. Again, I’m open to pretty much anything, but I don’t know the area.

I also should have my new cell phone this week - I’ll email it to folks or catch you in chat.

Either is fine by me, but I would probably prefer Chinese.

I like using chopsticks. :smiley:

Well, I’m from Chicago. I want some decent fish, dammit. :wink: [sub][sup]Actually, I can get decent fish here, I just have to pay more for it. [/sub][/sup]

Ack! I’m being attacked!

I call if it is a tie that you win the vote. 123notakebacks

Really, I just want to go to a restaurant that has the word “Naked” in the name. And considering you may be the only man there with a posse of FabulousDoperBabes[sup]TM[/sup], you might want that, too. You never know what booze and a not-so-subliminal “naked” suggestion will accomplish. :smiley:

Seafood! Ick! Hopefully I’ll be going, but I will not partake of any fishy ick! I’ll drink lotsa coffee, how’s that?

porcupine, that really will put a new spin on the title of the thread, eh? :stuck_out_tongue:

Rasa, I would bet you a beverage of your choice (fishless beverage, of course) that you could have a sufficiently seafoodless dish there.

And I’d bring my own damn chopsticks! :smiley:

Things still on for tomorrow?
