OK I would love to make to this do/party/get together whatever you want to call it. I have my motives, after I ply them with alcohol I want to pick some flyertalk brains regarding a few potential trips. May I suggest a few adjoining rooms/suites at the Kimpton right on the Cambridge side of the Charles River beautiful views especially if we can get a Studio suite with adjoining room should be about 900 square feet.
They also have a nice bar/restaurant and a cool reception area with plenty of seating.
They may even allow us to do our meet n greet in their reception area
where ever it is can I go please! I will donate one mega bottle of grey goose to the cause...
That way anyone who flies in or over indulges can get a room and crash

But we'll take your bottle of grey goose! I assume that it some kind of alcohol. I'm also going to be kicking in four Delta drink coupons. I thought about doing a scavenger hunt in the house, but I like it the way it is.

BTW, for those of you who have kids who have made you watch Dora over and over again, I highly recommend this video of the trailer for the Dora the Explorer movie (made by College Humor, so you know what it will be like). SFW.

Thanks! The week the Do, I will be sending out address information. We live in Washington Square in Brookline, so you probably know the way. Then, just listen for the sound of Dora the Explorer blasting out of our house.

I've had some requests from people who wanted to bring some sort of food or beverage. Thus, should you feel like bringing something small (no obligation!)...
I'm calling this update #3.1415, in which we decide who brings what (Yes, you can bring pie.) so that we have something more than pizza. You're about to get an email in your inbox with a link to this post.
Ground rules:
1) Please do not, I repeat, do not, spend more than $5 or so. We'll end up with too much food/drinks.
2) Please don't go too crazy over this request.
3) Please post below (i.e., don't reply to me) what you would like to bring so we don't get 12 people bringing dessert. Pie (P) or no pie (NP), we'll make it through. In other words, P doesn't equal NP. Or maybe it does. Heck, I'd give a million bucks to know the answer to that.
4) If you know another FTer coming, feel free to coordinate with them.
5) If there's something that you want or you have specific dietary restrictions, please feel free to bring it, even if you don't think that everyone will eat it. For instance, if you only eat avocados, you may have to bring 2 or 3 (which will make 2 or 3 the avacados's number). But don't bring 288; that would be too gross.
6) Please don't go too crazy over this request. You are not obligated to do anything!
We should have plenty of room for everyone. My nanny does like to cook tea, so if you see the kettle on the elevated stove, don't worry, that's just her high pot in use.
Lastly, and most importantly, for those of you who are going to be heavily drinking, don't derive.
Mike
