Feb Do in Boston. Tuesday, February 5.

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.

Until then, we're stuck inside, so here's the winter Do. I'm scheduling it for Tuesday, February 5, still at Kinsale. 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.

What is the benefit of attending the Do? All participants will receive Tommy Points at the end of the Do.

Will I have fun? Yes!

Did the I just copy the stuff from the last Do because I'm 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 January. Unless you don't feel like it, which is fine, also: 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.

First, I prefer the term "Living-Challenged". Undead makes it sound like we only eat brains. I only do that on the weekends.

Secondly, I think we should raffle off dates with Marathon Man and make a little money.

I'll be there.

Since my name is Tom, I assume I get all the Tommy points!

That's a great scheme. I'll start:

I'll pay $5 not to have to go on a date with MM. Who can top me?

Looks like my preferred airlines are matching B6's low fares and my schedule is light that day so I'll see you all once again!

I'll be there! I'll take the proceeds of the non-MM date and spend it with him!
