Or our remnants will be -- meaning Mike brings a couple of sheets printed with the FlyerTalk logo. If we're inside, look for a handwritten note saying where. That said, the area does have a roof over it, so if there's lightning but no wind, no audible at scrimmage may be needed.

I hate to back out so late - but just back from vacation yesterday and today being the first day back in the office is taking longer than I thought to get caught up.
So, I'll miss you guys this time, and definitely see you at the next one.

Oh, too bad. I just saw this. I arrived this morning from Sao Paulo, but had a couple of meetings mid-day at my office in the western burbs. It would be interesting to meet you guys.

As always I overestimate the time it will take me to get here. We've decided to move inside due to high wind.

Thanks to all who attended, especially our newbies! I hope everyone picked up something new but, more importantly, had fun.
Note: We were over by $1.57 when I collected the cash! I'm going to round that up a bit and make a $100 donation to the One Fund on behalf of the Boston Do crowd.
Now, I have questions for you:
It has been suggested to do a Do in Kendall Square. I'd like to do what's best for all involved, so please answer the following questions. If you don't want to answer below, you can PM me.
1) Do you have a preference of downtown Boston or Cambridge (or something else)?
2) Would either of those locations prevent you from coming to a Do, i.e., if it's held in Boston, would that stop you from coming, or if it's held in Cambridge, would that stop you from coming?
3) Assuming it's not 50 degrees in July, do you have any reason to believe that the Kinsale patio would not suit our needs?
If you want to remain anonymous (to everyone but me), feel free to PM me and I'll aggregate results.
Talking to people last night, there did seem to be a preference for remaining downtown, but again, we want to maximize the fun for all.
Potential date thrown out for the July Do is Monday, July 22.

Thank you so much, Mike for organizing and thanks to everyone for their useful tips. I had a great time and it was great to meet all of you. Thanks MM for sharing the pickles!
I'm looking forward to a July DO. Cambridge or Boston is fine with me. My only suggestion is that we avoid trivia night next time due to the noise. I think the patio @Kinsale would be great.

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!
