Bob, we will definitely be there for brunch and dinner on Saturday. Eric still doesn't know if he has to go to Rochester, so Friday is still up in the air, but he thinks we can be around for dinner and cocktails. Hopefully he will know by this Friday. I'll email you as soon as we know.

laurie--that's fine....

dogster....now i assume you are not coming to cambridge....we had already arranged the tent and instead of flicks, we had arranged for some of cambridge's rude and weird to perform live in the tent...guess i need to cancel them...

Don't cancel. I'll watch. Dogster will be there in spirit.

I will indeed be there in spirit. Cancel nothing, gpanda doesn't get to see this stuff very often. I could make a short video-clip for you if you like. I have a unique party piece; it's called 'The Dance of the Burning Feather' - all you need is a feather, an arsehole - and a match.

Hmmm - which part will I play...?

the feather??

Nah, I think I'd rather play the match. All the other actors get burnt.

But then, I realise, so does the match. So it's a lose, lose, lose situation. I think I'll just stick with the cardboard cut-out.

Dogster-I'm an ex-rugby player. I've seen the feather trick and its big brothers many times. It's been a while, thankfully.

Are butane cigarette lighters involved?

back in the day, when certain people were "rugby players" fire was brought on by rubbing two sticks together...

Wish I could join such a fun group of people, but I'm headed in the opposite direction that weekend. Maybe another year, another season.

Have a great time - as I'm sure you will!

rhkkmk, I'd like to go to your home and skipjack's if someone who maybe near to me to give me transportation.
Where do you live?

i live in needham....maybe gpanda could bring you?

or you can take the train to hersey station ----commuter train (MBTA) from south station or back bay---train is called the needham local...
someone would drive you home after dinner i am sure...

Mimi-I live in Cambridge. I'll be glad to give you a ride on Friday night. You can reach me at:

I see on the fodors calendar that your birthday is on the day of "the Boston GTG"... have a happy day!
Carol

(I'll try to bring that LV bag on Friday to Bob and Karen's)

thanks panda...and Simpson

I just can't pass up the tent with Cambridge's rude and weird. That, along with even the remotest possibility of winning one of those toasters clinches it. We'll be there. I'm RSVPing "officially" right now in an email to Bob. Can't wait!

Rude and Wierd? I think not. Rude, sometimes. Wierd, sometimes. Never both. It is the center of the universe. All gravitational forces stem therefrom. We have no need of an inertial perspective. Why do you think the "Boston" GTG is held each year in Cambridge?

Because we are the People's Republic.

why is it that only people who live in cambridge consider it to be the center of the universe and beyond??

others use terms like:

hippie haven
pinko town
people's republic...
weirdo central
drug hangout
self-centered universe
bow tie culture
snob-bridge

now, now, besides it depends in which zip code.
