lol I know what it is!! ooh ooh!

Cartera and FreeCause are both the mileage vendor third party affiliate companies that run everything toolbar and mall for most major airlines and other large companies and both of these recently debacled companies are located in and around Boston. They have promised Red Sox tickets to FT MODs in hopes that the MODs can quell uprisings from the 1-3k gamer-styled customer base that has been vetting offers on recent promos gone bad that had been put forth on airlines such as united and AA by the two shopping-relationship companies. Since the Red Sox are in a daily race with the Yankees to see who is in first in the AL, it makes for sweet sports and sweet mileage gigs all in one.

that, or you guys like September rain.


Yah but when you try their Guinness you will agree it's the best you have had this side of Ireland, and so you owe me one for being right about that hehe

Dooleys is the place, by the way, that once let me run a 10 cent idine charge. I actually split a tab between 3 cards for a promo years ago and one of the charges was that small.

I wish they'd invite me to the game, too!

But that's OT -- this thread is about the BOS DO.

I'm down with the Do. See you on the 23rd!

Mike

xyzzy & I are travelling around ME that friday, but could head in for a beer.

definitely do!!

parking near Mr Dooleys can be a bear... if you dont get street, there is a lot near State street too but it costs a bit. Then again you are right next to Fan. hall so it could be worth the trip for that as well.

I'm in for the 23rd if that works for others ! Works perfect since I'll already be in Town and can Metro to wherever we decide on for drinks.

Google maps says its a 11 min walk from our hotel (or 11 min via public transport), so as I european I'll probably keep the rental car where it belongs

hope to see you there!

Just note that in Boston they call it a "T" not a Metro lol
but if it gets u there that's all that matters

The nearest T to get you there, however, might be taking the Red Line to Down Town Crossing or anything that gets to Government Center.

This will put you in and around the Financial District. Since Boston is a great walking city, it doesnt take much to get around on foot... The bar is located at the corner of Batterymarch and Broad.

If this thing takes on a bigger life than anticipated, I think pawtim needs to ask them to block off a bunch of tables for us! hehe

yes, do walk it. care to tell which hotel that is? I know the city quite well as I have lived in and around Boston most of my life and used to work in at least 3 companies right around where this bar is.

Its two orange T stops south of our pub Do location.
No more details, refer to post #13.

Coolio - glad this seems to be coming together!

Any thoughts on what time we want to meet up?

Thanks for the chuckle. I meant to refer to it as the "T" but traveling worldwide and living in DC people always say metro so as soon as I thought trains, I thought "metro" haha.

I'm a born raised Bostonian :P. I grew up in Roxbury, not too far from Northeastern. Still have my bearings!!! Haha

But I'll be looking to share a beer and get a few laughs in !

Well post #13 says, "We could tell you, but then we'd have to kill you." and I thought the poster had meant, We could tell you, but then we'd have Tequilla!" lol

And Dooley's is best known for it's Irish spirits and Guinness, not Tequillas--metro or no.

Time you ask? Well, I aint the thread organizer or nuthin, but I would imagine it would be a good idea to be in there around 6-7pm???

Pawtim?
what say you?

Again, it could be dependent on number of known committed people AND timing, but they can arrange some tables to get us all together if the group is say 5-15 people. (If it gets too much bigger we have to do a booze cruise hahahaha).

I could make the 23rd... but later. More likely in the 8-9pm range.

Well, I was thinking something along the lines of Happy Hour until whenever...if some folks can't get there 'til later, then you could twist my arm to stay and have a few more drinks, and meet more FTers!

Interesting fact: Happy Hour is outlawed in Massachusetts! (At least drink specials). It's part of our Puritan heritage...

We should probably figure out when to start, so I can drop by the pub and let them know we'll be a group.

If I am able to catch an earlier flight, I might be able to attend on September 23.
