Do the fall in Boston! Boston Do, 10/2.
 

It's back, and better than before! Well, it's back, anyway.

The Boston summer Do is on the way and, with any luck, we'll be outside on the patio at Kinsale. I'm scheduling it for Tuesday, October 2 at 6pm. For those who are new, and we like new victims for our ever-growing army of the undead, it is relatively casual and located by the Government Center T stop.

Do I need to bring anything? Just your ideas and a notebook to write stuff down. Remember, what happens at the Do stays at the Do. These things tend to get a little wild and crazy.*

Does it cost anything? No, unless you order food or drink. If you do, one person will pay the check and you should pay that person what you spent, plus 25% for tax and tip. Keep track. Those who underpay will be set up on a date with Marathon Man.

Are you a weird cult or trying to sell me something? As to the first part of the question, we spend half our life on Flyertalk debating intangible assets. What do you think? As to the second part, no. We promise not to sell you anything bought or processed. Or buy anything sold or processed. Or process anything bought or sold.

Will I have fun? Yes!

Did the OP just copy the stuff from the last Do because he's too lazy to re-write it? Of course, but the last Do's post was perfection. Why fight it?

I'm going to try and figure out how to start a wiki above so you can indicate as a yes, no or maybe (unless you are a certain moderator who shall remain unnamed, who is not allowed to use the "maybe" label). Since we do need to make a reservation, please try to have an answer by the end of September. Obviously, there's no such thing as a hard deadline. If you don't have wiki access, just leave a note in the thread and I'll update it. And while it's usually mostly Boston people, we really appreciate it when out-of-towners come, so we can hear a little about the outside world.

See you soon!
Mike

*No Boston Do in the history of the world has ever gotten wild and crazy. Maybe wild. Maybe crazy. But never both.

Ill be there as usual

I have to teach that night. Too bad

I will be there. YES

Flight prices are cooperative and I don't have much on my calendar for 10/2 so I'll be flying up to join y'all for dinner.

A Tuesday this time? Sure! I'll be there!

We aim to please. ;)

Ahhh shoot I have class that night in October :( Probably can't make it, but I'll add myself as a maybe for now

Per usual, I’m a totally solid “maybe” for that evening! ;)

We'll make a note of it. :)

ok, for someone only VERY peripherally familiar with the T and the Silver Line, when would I realistically need to depart the DO to catch a 9pm AA flight (carrying my laptop in a shoulder bag, 99.9% confident of getting TSA Pre)?

Absolutely. I'm on a 9 PM jetBlue flight so we can head out there together. And if the DO runs long, we'll split an Uber.

Blue line station (Government Center) is across the street. From there, you can take it to the Airport station where you can board a MassPort shuttle bus to the terminals.

Uber/Lyft would normally be the fastest, but you'll be leaving at the tail end of rush hour, so I think public transportation is probably a safer bet.

Personally, I'd budget 30 mins before flight departure for boarding, and maybe another 10--15 for TSA just in case (this is with PreCheck). The subway takes about 10 minutes to get from Government Center to Airport (with stops in between), and the terminal shuttles probably take another 10 mins at most. American is located in Terminal B (Terminal B stop 1 on the shuttle, as there are two Terminal B stops), and JetBlue is located in Terminal C.

So, if your flight leaves at 9PM on the dot, the latest you'd want to leave the Do to be safe, would be around 7:30PM, earlier if you want to be extra safe. As far as the Do running long, people are free to come and go as they please. The Do doesn't end until the last person wants to leave :D (Sometimes we have an afterparty at the bar long after the main Do ends)
