Did you even try Fat Moxie? I’d like to join BoDope, but I’m not sure I’m going to have time. School is absolutely suffocating me right now. On the other hand, I’m thinking about grad school in Boston so this might be a nice occasion to combine two trips. You can tell I’m a **real** Vermonter b/c I never go to Boston! ---

Quincy Market sounds damn good to me. It’s quite easy for me to get there, so let’s do that! I’m gonna go to a dopefest! It’ll be my first! Ooh, I’m so excited! ---

Can a midwest guy toss in a very, very tentative “I’ll be there” here? ---

This is 1 p.m. Saturday 17 Nov, correct? Quincy Market - I’ve at least heard of it, so that should work. If I wanted to take you up on your offer of hosting, where would that be (i.e. where would I have to get to on Friday night?) ---

> [@](#): > > Yo, **waterj2** , if you figure out a way to get there, let me know, as I believe we are both in the same area (you do go to RPI, right? Or am I thinking of some other doper?) You are thinking of me, but I’m not there now. After five years of that place I kinda needed a break, especially as they haven’t exactly gone entirely well (hence the whole five year aspect). But I live in Boston, so would be a candidate for this sort of thing, if I can manage to be in town that day. Perhaps you could try **Flymaster** , the other RPI student, who hails from eastern Massachusetts, and may even have a car. ---

For the non-locals, Quincy Market is also known as Faneuil Hall. [Here](http://www.faneuilhallmarketplace.com/info/directions.cfm?mallid=159) is a site with a T map and directions if you’re on foot/car. One note about the T directions, if you’re coming in on the Blue line, get off the State Street stop, as the Aquarium stop is closed. Should we firm up a place to meet on Nov. 17th at 1 pm? ---

If anyone is crashing with me on Friday night you need to come to White River Junction VT or Hanover NH via bus. Dyno- seriously? That would rock. 🙂 So who is interested in going to the concert, anyway? ---

what time does the concert start/end? that might be the only way I can make an appearance… i’m working on it though. ---

Howyadoin, I’m coming in from Salem, MA, and will be passing the airport on my way. Anyone flying in or from the North Shore that needs a ride, lemme know… -Rav ---

The concert starts at 8 pm in Haverhill. I do swear up and down that it’s going to rock mightily. Or at least folk mightily. ---

I might go. I could take a bus pretty easy. I grew up in Somerville, and still have friends there, so I don’t need a place to crash. I just have to make sure I don’t have a gig that night. What exactly are ya’ll gonna do all day? and night? DaLovin’ Dj ---

Well, it seems to me that we are meeting at 1 pm and then… doing something. And then those of us who are going to the concert will go to that, leaving the rest for a bizarre orgy. ---

**Yersinia Pestis** , You know, I got Moxie at Price Chopper a few weeks ago. I was surprised 'cause folks had said you can’t get it there, but there it was.
