Questions in post 145 - no need to waste space by quoting them:

1. No preference between downtown Boston and Kendall Square. Either way I drive in or drive to Braintree and take the T from there. They're a wash in both cases.

2. Neither would keep me from coming if it fits my schedule.

3. Nothing wrong with the Kinsale patio if it's a normal July evening and not raining.

And thanks again for organizing this, Mike. Right now I don't have anything on the evening of July 22nd. Looking forward to seeing everyone again!
