Yay for Sept.13 and 14th! Who else would definately go?
Mack, I may take you up on that lift if I can convince my parents to let me go. (I'll start working on them as soon as I know it's really on.)

I can supply them with supporting stuff, too. Like, I work for community council, they can verify that I work there, blah blah.

I got the date, but where's the meeting place, exactly?
I know very little about the layout of any city that isn't Montpelier, Burlington, or Barre, VT. I suggest meeting in a place that's big and easy to find... somewhere near a T-station would be helpful, too, since I know sort-of how to navigate the T.

Dragon, if you have trouble persuading your mom, email me and I'll give you my phone number -- I will be happy to talk with her on the phone if that will help. Ditto to anyone else whose parents need convincing. My email is in my profile. I am a very normal-sounding person on the phone.
Okay, it's official: September 13th. Let's meet at Bartley's Burgers at 6PM. (Please note, they accept cash only. Also, it is likely to be VERY crowded -- Mac, do you know if they take reservations?)
And we'll do our picnic on the Charles on the 14th, so everyone keep that date free. For anyone who's coming from afar, I am certain we can rustle up some overnight accomodations on couches and such.

Anyrate, Bartleys is a good place to meet. Just be aware that we will MEET at 6, and sit down at 6:30 or so. Its fast turnover, and limited space, and usually crowded.
I'll be there. I'll try to drag my very studly brother in the hopes of hooking him up with a hatrack woman, who are known to be the ideal women for all english majors, of which my brother is one. Did I mention he's got lots of muscles, is a really sweet guy, and desperately single?

He spent 2 weeks on the appalachian trail one summer, and another 10 days the next... so, yes?

martha, I may need the same favor of you..... with the whole parental persuasion thing. I'm still not sure if I'm gonna go, I mean, being a noobie and all. Plus, it would be kinda weird if I were the only teenager going.......

Evie, if I'm going, you wouldn't be the only teenager there. I'm 19, and I'd likely bring my girlfreind, Gretchen (SN: Gwynaria), who's 18.
... Do I have to pry the location of this "Bartleys" out of someone, or will someone give me an idea of where it is willingly. I suppose I could check out Streets 98, that has almost every business in the U.S. that existed in 1998. Masochistic Microsoft data-entry freaks! (mmm... alliteration )

Paul could give better directions than me. It's in Harvard Square. Once in Harvard Square, my instincts just lead me right to Bartley's. Inexplicable. Posts: 14745 | Registered: Dec 1999

I'd be more then willing to provide my phone number if any parents want to call me. I'm only 24, so not sure if that helps or not.

Suneun, d'you think it'd be possible for me to follow you guys up from Providence? I'd feel a lot better about using internet directions if I was also following someone. Posts: 353 | Registered: Mar 2003

Dragon, you better talk to your parents! And have them call me if they have any problems. Email me to set up a time (because I'm moving to a place where there's no phone yet, but I can still come back here to my boyfriend's place and use his phone if I know when to do so.
Evie, you too.
I'm so pleased that you guys will do my waiting for me! (i.e. I get out of work at 6 downtown, and will probably arrive at Harvard Square right around 6:30.)

I believe I shall be the oldest there (I am turning 25 on Sept.18th). Though Paul can still hold the title of Most Ancient from 6pm until I get there. Unless.. Beca, I don't remember how old you are.
Yes, sarahdipity and Evie, those are the plans, 6pm Saturday September 13th at Bartley's Burgers.
There is also very definite talk of a real Picnic along the banks of the Charles River the next day, Sunday the 14th. Details possibly to be decided at Bartley's, unless someone needs them decided earlier.
I can provide overnight sofa-ness for at least two people. Anyone who is fond of sleeping on floors is welcome to mine.

I can house someone as well. Though no garuntee's on condition of apartment... am moving into it monday. We could still be moving stuff around. Anyrate, can definetely sleep somone who needs a sleeping location.
Also, Bartleys is not only a burger place, it is ideally suited to the hatrack personality.
Anyhoo... I'll be there at 6. I think, Martha, the best plan is at 6:10 I'll see who is there, count noses, add 1, and then put our names in.

Oh yeah. Bartleys is on mass ave, just a hair outside harvard square. I'd say its right next to a book store, but since there are about 8 there, it doesn't help.
I'll provide clothing information later on, so you guys can look for me. I wish I had a "the enemy's gate is down" shirt Posts: 4112 | Registered: May 2001

Hey, wildcard (*), e-mail me so we can figure things out for the drive up.
This is an overnight event with things the next day? hmm.... I think I'm going to be bothering Martha to crash at her place, but that I'll be driving elsewhere on Sunday. We'll see.
Hey, Beca, are you reading this? Are you coming? You'd better!
