An initial suggestion -- how would people feel about the evening of April 4th or 5th? Same place as before (the Burren in Davis Sq.)?

Being the annoyingly devout Christian that I am, I can't do Thursday the 5th. It's Maundy Thursday, and I will be off getting my feet washed and stripping the altar.

Wednesday the 4th would probably work. My schedule varies a lot. Tuesdays before 8 are a bit of a challenge.

I guess the 4th is out for mcmc? But I do like her suggestion of Miracle of Science, and there are some other places that might work equally well around there (Asgard, or some Central Sq. spots) if MoS is too crowded.

So what about something the following week, the 9th-13th? I can't do the 10th (Tuesday), but other than that...

Yes, the week after I can do Monday or Thursday, and I think Tuesday.

Holy week is bad for me.

I've just realized that Sally's soccer program starts on Holy Saturday; we're going to be out of town visiting Buck's family for Easter. You devout people -- I can call the program and safely say that no one Catholic is likely to show, right?

Being the annoying heathen I am, I have to ask which week is Holy Week?

Leading up to Easter, April 8th this year.

So what about the 9th or the 12th? Monday or Thursday of the week following Easter. That wouldn't be Holy Week, right?

And not to disrupt the Boston planning session, but speaking of meetups, have we decided on a bar for the NY meetup? Can we do that before I go dark on Wednesday?

I'll throw in a vote for the 12th over the 9th, as I'll be driving back from a wedding on the 9th.

Everyone sounded happy with L'Agnolo -- I'll bump up the post with an update in a bit.

6 - I don't think there's any prohibition against practicing soccer on Holy Saturday. People traveling for Easter won't show; probably most everyone else will.

Come to think of it, I suppose they wouldn't be going to Mass, would they. Crap. I do think that it's enough of a travel holiday that it's silly to schedule soccer practice for it.

I ran the cost-benefit analysis and decided eternal salvation didn't measure up to having my Sunday mornings free. Your mileage may vary.

Thursdays are normally good for me.

Okay, so April 12th at Miracle of Science? Does that work for everyone?

Works for me.

Is mrh coming? I'm supposed to mail him w-lfs-n's CD. If he's coming it might be easier to to bring it there.

That works for me. I just need the address. Is Kendall the closest T stop?

Does mrh post his e-mail here?

Lurkers, please come too.

Brock--which one do you have? I'll burn a copy of mine for you if you'll do one for me. I have the autmn cd--the one with Tim Buckley and an Eno/Cale song, and I forget what else.

I think Central Square might actually be closer, BG.

Central is closest. I might make it.

Brock,

Do you want to e-mail me or arthegall to get cell phone numbers so that we can make sure that you don't get lost?

Central is probably the closest T stop, and also the easiest to navigate from. Go to central, and walk south (towards MIT and the river) on Mass Ave. Miracle of Science will be a couple of blocks down on the left.

I don't know which one I have. These are the songs:

Advantage, "Megaman II: Stage Select & Metal Man", from Elf Titled
Haco + Sakamoto Hiromichi, "Standard Smile", from Ash In The Rainbow
John Zorn, "The Ballad of Hank McCain", from The Big Gundown
Susanna & The Magical Orchestra, "It's a Long Way to the Top", from Melody Mountain
Franco Battiato, "Una Cellula", from Fetus
Ekkehard Ehlers, "Ain't no Grave", from A Life without Fear
Tower Recordings, "Spirit of Love", from Fraternity Of Moonwalkers
Clive Bell & Sylvia Hallet, "Tantamount", from The Geographers
Guigou Chenevier, "La Démarche du crabe", from Les Rumeurs de la Ville
Bilmo, "Johanneksen kirkon puistossa", from Bilmo
Falter Bramnk, "Shleep on it (for R.W .)", from Minimal Romance
Thinking Plague, "Gudamy le Mayagot", from A History of Madness
Amoebic Ensemble, "Gimme A Buck or I'll Touch You", from Limbic Rage
Kyle Bruckmann, "Despite All Evidence to the Contrary", from Wrack: Intents & Purposes
Henry Cow, "Deluge", from Unrest
Pretty Boys, "Dijana", from Pretty Boys
Che Shizu, "Track 3", from I Can't Promise

Double-T-pwnage.

You should all go to Tosci's for ice cream, if you're getting off the T in Central Square. That place is what I really miss about Boston.

321 Mass Ave, State Street is the cross street.

Would it be too early, to meet at 6pm? Miracle tends to get a little crowded in the evenings.

27: Yes, that differs from mine. Want to trade copies?

PS- I can't yet commit to be there. We're talking like three weeks away, right? For all I know I could be in France in three weeks. But for now the day/time/place sound fine.

I'll be sure to get someone's phone number this time.

mrh can be reached by emailing matt at unlikelywords.com. Matt will convey your message to mrh.

6 is ok with me.

Oh, hi ben! I was sort of hoping you wouldn't read this thread. That email I sent you last week about mailing mrh's cd was somewhat aspirational. But it's at the very top of my to-do list, trust me.

6pm at Miracle. If Brock ends up not being able to make it, then maybe he gets to schedule the next one to fit his own schedule.

We will meet you one day, Mysterious Mr. Landers!

Um... I probably should have waited for other people to weigh before 'deciding' on 6pm.

Sorry, I'm all wired on caffeine tonight.

"weigh" s/b "weigh in."

So that explains the irascibility. I knew you were joking. Really.

I really do need to lay off the coffee, seriously. All the Starbucks baristas know my name, and I get a raging headache by 10am if I haven't had my morning (large) cup. EEesh.

Hi all! Thursday the 12th ought to work fine for me. I think I should be able to make just about any time.

Also, woo! My CD!
