I am up for a Boston gathering.....

The FIRST FLYERTALK event ever was held in BOSTON in March, 1999.


The guest List:

Catman
PremEx
Baobab and the Gardener (the hosts)
NJ David and Helen
Anna S
Kyklin
MileCrazy
Matt Wald (before he became Kokonutz/A Freak/Whatever name he is this week http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif


I think there are a few pictures posted somewhere.

It was my first of many FT events. It was a wonderful weekend at a great restaurant, Sunday brunch at this nice downtown hotel, a visit to a "Cat" retrospective at the Museum of Science and making new friends! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif
Those were the days when Flyertalk was just a small bulletin board and nothing reached DO proportions (until the PIP 1 in Hawaii, NOvember, 1999!)

OMNI for the Boston gang: I'd love to have a reunion in Boston sometime of the ORIGINAL First FT "do" guests. (plus Kyklin's and PremEx's loves http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif )

RichG - e-mail me; I'm coming into BOS
on the 29th and would be up for lunch or
supper. I'm changing my profile to include
my e-mail; the return to anonymity didn't
work anyhow.

Since it looks as though the majority like the weekend of 11/1-11/3, should we make further plans for those dates? i.e. a meet and greet Friday night (if people arrive then), a dinner on Sat. night and a brunch on Sun,....or dinner/drinks Sat., brunch on Sun.,.....or just dinner/drinks Sat. ????

Places to be decided of course.

Any thoughts?

i like the sound of brunch sunday

Has anyone decided where they want to go?

If this reaches critical mass, count me in for an early November meeting.

Just checking to see who is still interested.

11/9-11/10 weekend is still ok for me.
and so far 10/12. although some folks wanted a early weekday? seems like most of us prefer the weekend - takers for 11/9-10 speak up

Catman recollects: Indeed it was! Here's a group picture at that that first meet.

A few suggestions on where to eat:

For a Sat. dinner:

Royal East (great Chinese food in Cambridge)

Cheese Cake Factory (Prudential)

Marche (sp.?) (Prudential)

For Sun. brunch:

Copley Marriott

Second the Royal East.

If we want chinese food in Cambridge then I would vote for ChangSho on Mass Ave

Of course the Cheese Cake Factory is always a good choice as well http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

any place being considered for a weekend dinner should be checked to make sure they take group reservations.

out of curiosity is anyone interested in some unusual group activity, like perhaps a visit to http://www.f1boston.com ?

I will probably go to an early Nov event. I'll also offer my web site as a place to post details.

BTW, I'll also vote for Royal East. If it will be a large group, they should be notified ahead of time. It's real popular, especially with folks at MIT.
