Mikeef, I'm a FT rookie, and need to get more involved. I've put in the miles, so it's time to dive in! I'm based in BOS and plan on attending at Kinsale on July 22. Looking forward to it.

Firewind and World2Travel, sorry I missed you guys. Needless to say, I was amazingly busy during the performances and after some 100ş+ temps, was pretty wiped out after a few of those days.
And it didn't help that I said my truck was on the left of the stage when it was in fact on the right.
Outside the Box - the biggest event in Boston no one ever heard of. Not even a quick mention in the Globe today, despite 30k+ people last night to see the Mighty Mighty Bosstones. BTW - Comcast will publish their show on On Demand eventually.

Again, your production really was world class. Hope it got the response for The Powers That Be to do it again next year.
Unless you're deservedly braving the hazards of coconut palms, please come to the DO. It would be great to talk about it.

Yup. They were hazard conditions. And I just figured "stage left". "Gmatters" was quite obvious. One couldn't even get close to the other end of the stage, anyway.

tkey75 - Sorry I missed you as well. I was looking for you around 6 pm last night during the Lemonheads set and couldn't find you. Then I headed over to see the BlindBoys of Alabama and Taj Mahal (they were amazing) in City Hall Plaza. I also looked in the Globe for mention of the festival and didn't see anything. Hope you can turn up tomorrow night for the DO!
I wished I could have wallked away to see Taj Mahal.
Sadly, I'm already out of town, getting the truck ready for the Gathering of the Vibes in Bridgeport, CT this week. See ya next time!

Decided to make it a "me" 24 hours in Boston (just as soon as I find a hotel for tomorrow night)....
Anyone want to do lunch @ L'Espalier on Tuesday (I have a -20% off coupon!)
or.... a "late night" bar crawl on Monday evening....
Looking forward to the event!

A change in schedule means I will be flying out of BOS on Tues. so can attend the ReDO Monday evening after all. I may not make it until about 7:00pm, however, and am presuming you all will just be warming up by that point.
Looking forward to meeting you! Paul B. pfbloom

Well I will be there.
Looks like no pickles this time, I will wander through the Park Street MBTA Station area looking for the guy who sells pickles. Checked a couple weeks ago and another vendor told me that pickle guy is no longer. Actually just smiled at the thought of MM going through security and customs trying to smuggle something, whether it is cheese, pickles, beer cans/bottles for his collection, etc.
So for those who use the Longfellow Bridge do remember especially when ending the night that the bridge is now one way.
The last Boston DO was my first one. Mike encouraged me to give a shot at trying for the Carlson CC, which I was reluctant to do. Anyway it worked out just fine.
