Well... I'll set the date as 11-12 of August. I should be around a little before and a little after that. I've been trying to convince some of my friends to tag along, that's why I didn't post it before.

So, who would be coming and where would we meet?
Those from Boston, pick a place you think would be good.

cya!!

Durgin Park had pretty good beans last time I et there. The Union Oyster House has its adherents as well. Both are lovely olde Boston traditions.

Places to meet ... Depends on where everyone's staying. I should be able to make that date and my parents live around that area so I can meet people where-ever.

paazin, any suggestions?

wuh... beats me. what are people in the mood for? a english or irish-type pub, a sports bar, a chic and/or trendy bar, one of numerous clubs... tons of various other places and eateries - any thoughts?

there's a few pretty nice places in allston, though they usually get a bit packed.

valn, who do we have so far? I guess I can look around for relatively cheap places to stay that are still close to the city unless someone already has some ideas?

I guess we have the people who've posted on this thread. ;)

I haven't had time to check on transport and lodging so far... too much damn work... So suggestions will be welcomed!

Those hostels are surprisingly good for $30, actually.

Okay, this is coming fast, who's still coming?
Which day?
Which meeting place?

I wanna make my arrangements this week. I'm planning to stay there a couple of days (before and after the week-end) anyway.

Well if you guys ever come in Quebec, i used to live there so...ring a bell.

Oh one more thing, if you do come (and not only for an alfacon), do so in summer (june/july/august), because winter might spoil the fun for sun-bound folks and the mid seasons are a roulette russe of bad weather.

Personally i like our winter alot, but...some of my african friends swore it's hell on earth (just like i'd swear his dry season would be).
Coming soon in a server near you.

I am taking the train up on Friday the 10th and staying with college friends until sometime on Monday the 13th. They are in Boston proper, so it won't be hard for me to find you guys whenever you want to start getting together.
