The Boston Spring Do! May 31
 
Yes, it's that time! Gather together with your fellows from Boston and celebrate the springtime as we wax nostalgical about the US Mint and try to determine the next big source of miles.

Time and location: The usual. May 31, 6pm, Kinsale. I'm hoping that the weather will be nice so we can hang outside. As of now, plan on the Do taking place on the patio. As we get closer and I have a better idea of the weather, we'll revisit.

FAQ:

Does it cost anything? No, of course not. The only cost is if you order food or drink.

I'm a newbie. Can I come? Absolutely. More and more newbies have been coming to the quarterly Dos. Bring a notebook and remember, what happens at the Do stays at the Do.

Why is it called a Do? Not a clue. It's just an intimate get-together.


Is this some sort of dating party or interview? Nope.

Best way to get there is the T. The restaurant is right by Government Center. Please feel free to comment below on your availability.

I'm a very solid "probably yes."

financialhippie May 8, 2017 1:11 pm

I'll be there :D

pfbloom May 8, 2017 1:33 pm

I would love to be there but was not planning to come down to Boston until June 2 when I have another event.... so put me down as a maybe-maybe. pfbloom - in VT.

GK8 May 8, 2017 2:08 pm

I will be there!

Efrem May 8, 2017 2:14 pm

I'll be coming back from OzFest 14. Darn.

(By the way, it's called a "do" because that's British slang for "party.")

ddrum2000 May 8, 2017 3:41 pm

I should be able to make it

macrophage May 8, 2017 7:17 pm

i'll be there.

mikeef May 9, 2017 9:49 am

Thanks all.

BTW, Most people should be able to edit the Wiki, so you can just add yourself in. I'm happy to keep checking down here, though.

Ah, the Brits and their funny use of our language.

Count me in! There's a chance I may be flying to Australia that day but I'm about 75% sure I should be there :)

Self-upgraders typically get removed from the plane, but we'll make an exception for you. ;)

Thanks for the PM and welcome aboard! It's tougher than it used to be, but there are still a few opportunities here and there.

Have to move myself to the maybe column. Big changes happening at work, will find out more details Wednesday afternoon. Interesting times...

Oh no, won't be a party without you!

BTW, looks like it's still going to be a bit chilly next week, so we'll do it indoors.

For those who are new, they usually stick us in the back corner, but I'll leave a note with the host(ess).

Mike

ddrum2000 May 23, 2017 9:09 am

I'm in the maybe column now too unfortunately.

Cloudship May 24, 2017 11:26 am

Wait - 31st - I'm on the wrong week!

Good - I can make it. It can be a party again!

I've made a reservation for 15 under Michael (or Mike). You certainly do not have to be on the list above to come, but if you are planning on coming and didn't put your name on their, please let me know so I can let the restaurant know.

diburning May 30, 2017 11:18 am

I think I've only missed the last half dozen or so of these. Finally found one that fits my schedule!

I'm not sure if I can get out of work early enough but I'll try. I had a great time last Sept at my one and only DO :)

GoGreen May 31, 2017 2:15 pm

See you in a while ... and per Kinsales website:
Free Validated Parking in The Center Plaza Garage - Enter after 5pm weekdays, anytime on weekends. Maximum 3 hours. Minimum check $20.00.

CDKing May 31, 2017 3:24 pm

Too bad its such a wind tunnel at Kinsale, based on the weather here in Worcester it's nice enough to be held outside today.

mikeef May 31, 2017 4:01 pm

We'll, I'm an idiot. I forgot that I said 6:30 and just got here. I'm gonna take a walk or hang out front or something.

If we haven't met, I'm in a red jacket and blue backpack.

Mike

mikeef May 31, 2017 4:12 pm

On the front patio!!!

Cloudship May 31, 2017 9:08 pm

Thank you Mike. Excellent party, as usual.
