Be afraid. Be very afraid.

Yep. It's true. I'm venturing north of my usual stomping grounds. I'm turning my back on Fort Lauderdale and headin' up to Boston in search of greener pastures...or whatever.

Okay, now for the REAL story: I'm going to Boston in October (20-23) for a Dolby training session.

The seminar will occupy whole days. Any suggestions on fun evening activities -- Wait now, I mean...um...well...you know what I mean, right?

Well, as far as the combat zone goes.... it's nonexistant these days except for one place. And the city wants to demolish their building. heh.

I always like going to Cambridge Brewing Co... good beer, good food. Wandering around Cambridge at night can be amusing as well but not a lot happens on weekdays.

While your up here give me a shout... I work right in downtown 3rd shift.

Isn't Scott Norwood in that area? Go crash at his place, eat his food, & make him take you theater-crawling!

Here's what was to be built as the Capitol Theatre, but became the Metropolitan in Boston

It is now the Wang Center.

Manny, I'm coming back Oct 25th - Nov 8th, I'm just going to miss you!!! [Frown]

As far as "evening goings on", too bad you're not around on Halloween. Halloween in Salem, MA is something you could never compare to anything else...its an experiance - thats for sure! That's were I'll be! Boston has its share of clubs, around almost every corner downtown. [Smile]

I'll second the Halloween in Salem thing. One of my art school classes organized a field trip up there for the event. Some of those Puritans were pretty sadistic! "Pressing" people with big stones until they squished. Jeez!

Although it might be a touristy spot, I was pretty impressed with the New England Aquarium.

Puritans Sadistic? Nah... [eyes]
