The Next Boston Do: March 13
Edited 3/13: Final update below! Hope to see you all tonight!
All,
It's hard to believe that the last time we met was over three years ago, but I think it's time to restart them. Actually, it was time to restart them a while ago but, well, life happens.
Finding an indoor place for winter Dos is never easy, and certainly no more so now. And with fewer people commuting to the city, it makes less sense to use it as a central hub. I wanted to throw out a suggestion and hope that it works for the crowd. In the past, we've hosted people at my house and just did potluck and ordered pizza (My wife is also a mileage junkie and we are working on the kids.). We live in Brookline, so we have a T stop two blocks away as well as plenty of street parking.
Date: March 13, 6:00 pm(ish)
Bring something to be shared
One other thing: I used to have a handy dandy list of people who wanted to be contacted about Dos when they were announced. In fact, I'm sure that I still have that list. The problem is that I have no idea where it is, and it's likely out of date, anyway. Thus, I ask two things:
1) Indicate yes, no or maybe. We're two months out, so I anticipate that there will be a lot of maybes. That's cool. Status is fully changeable and refundable. Just keep an eye on the thread occasionally as we get closer.
2) If you want to be on the new notification list, please indicate in your response.
I'll occasionally update this post with responses.

I'm in. Looks like the last flight back to RDU is at 9:15 PM which is a little too early so I think I'll spend the night.
. I think my first do was at your house, glad you're organizing it there again.

Sadly I cannot join as I am flying overseas the following day. But please include me on the list for future get-togethers. BOS is very accessible from NYC.

Unfortunately, I have two standing commitments on Monday evenings (one after the other), either of which would mean that I won't be able to make it, but please keep me on the list!
