The last time I called a Boston get-together, Skadz was quick to point out that Grendel’s is not in Boston proper, but is actually located in the People’s Republic of Cambridge. This time, the gathering will be at Clery’s, which is on the Boston side of the Charles.
(It’s proof of Jane Jacobs’ theories — a large enough discontinuity in the city landscape, whether it be a park, expressway, or river, really does create a barrier that’s as effective as a wall.)
But rnough urban theory. The gathering is at Clery’s and it starts at 8:30. I’d give out directions, but my knowledge of Boston geography is somewhat lacking. Here’s a map, in case you need one.
Fun will ensue!

The super easy set of directions is take the Orange line of the T to Back Bay station, walk out of the station, turn left, walk 3/4 of a block, you have made it.
Slightly more difficult version, take the green line to Copley Square, get off the T, walk towards the Bay Back station, walk past station about 3/4 of a block, you have made it.
Driving? From the West, Take 90 to the Copley/Pru exit, towards Copley, make a right at the light, park in garage in your right right after the Back Bay T station, come out of garage, walk down about 3/4 of a block, you are there.
Where else do we need directions from???? ;)
Sadly, I will be missing the festiivies, AGAIN.
Hey, you were in town! Drat, I should have gotten in touch - it would have been cool to cross paths. Bah. That's what I get for working on my dissertation instead of religously reading weblogs. Maybe next time.
