As of now either weekend works for me, I'm holding both open for now in anticipation of boating.

Turns out that CarlaJ is interested, so can you please make me +1, space permitting?

Thanks!!

Willie, thank you.

As a mod, can you change the title...from August? to August 9-11.

Date decision is made.

Thanks

CMK, your donation buys you a life jacket.

Cloud, thanks for responding. I added you as 'questionable'. However, we actually have 8 already with a tentative yes, so please make a decision quickly.

DI, consider this your 2 weeks notice. Please join us for the game and boat, and you can take Sunday to do your grocery shopping at Hannafords while we do touristy stuff.

PF, you are added to maybe list,but be warned, already have a pretty full yes list.

Tetris? I'm a Pong and Atari Raiders of the Lost Ark fan. But you are waitlisted for now.

Boo. But family comes first!

Do is the first weekend, you are on the 'tentative yes' list. Donations to West Marine via my bank account will secure your spot.

Added to the tentative yes list....your donation will buy you Clam Chowdah at Fenway.

You are in. You get to deal with traffic. Nuff said.

Consider this confirmed. Your donation will go to an SOS to Boat USA when I sink the boat and we need the Coast Guard to come rescue us.

All, also please know that I have a wicked sense of humor. All donations referred to above are for the $45 for the Red Sox tickets.

First come, first serve. Sign up now and reserve your spot on the Jenmobile (since I don't have a name yet for the boat)!

Awesome! Depending on what kind of touristy stuff the group is doing, I might still join in.

HPN and CMK, you have mail.

Also, Pumpkin was scouting out landing sites today...he thinks this might be a good place to beach the boat if we want to go for a swim

All booked. Arriving Friday at 5:20 PM in time for the game. Currently scheduled to leave Sunday at 11 AM but if the SDC options are good I may stay longer for the Sunday activities.

Currently booked at the Ames Hotel which is a Curio Collection downtown.

Hotel now booked (Le Meridien Cambridge) for Fri-Sun; I may come up Thursday if I can find tolerable hotel pricing. Payment has been sent to our organizer. Now I just have to decide between taking SLAmTrak or driving...

Ah, 20 Sidney st. That Le Meridien is pretty expensive, and the quality is just alright. I used to work nearby, until my employer closed that office.
