Laughing Lagomorph and I will be at the John Harvard's in Framingham. This is right on route 9:
Shoppers World
One Worcester Road
Framingham, MA 01701
I think this is one of the large Malls on Rt 9 but Laughing Lagomorph can verify that.
So if you can make it, please post and we will figure out how to meet up at the place.
I might be able to swing it, but can't say for certain yet.
I hope you can make it.
Concurrent thread on the Dope.
Yes, it is in what is essentially an overgrown strip mall but you wouldn't know it from inside the brewpub. As CalMeacham mentioned on the SDMB thread the entrance can be a little difficult to find, it's in the back left corner of the U-shaped mall if your back is to Rte. 9. I would recomend parking in the back and using that entrance.Quote:

Well, if your reasons are because you've heard American beers are watery and insipid I can put your mind at ease...the beer at this place is quite good.Quote:

I'll promise to say only nice things about the Berkshires, if it helps :DQuote:

I might have to try to arrange a simulfest with Ivan Astikov at some stage.
Right now there's a weekly commitment on Monday nights, but I can probably make an exception for this one. It'll be good to say hi and converse.
Cool, I really hope you make it, it was a lot of fun last time.Quote:

Just a reminder.
I'm there!
Sorry, guys. I'm gonna have to catch you next time. :)
Next time Tom.
Robot Arm will be joining us tonight.
Does at least one of the attendees have a decent enough phone to post to Mello from the fest?
I can do that I guess. Why though? :confused:Quote:

OK, sorry, I'll report in from the Pub.Quote:

So I'll finally meet the guy I apparently worked down the street from for several years!Quote:

He's a really cool guy. Just like Cal and the rest of his family, RA is someone I like catching up with as a Boston regular.
(Winston Smith was a favorite too, but he's a wanted man, so he wouldn't let any pictures be taken.)
Or, not.Quote:

Posting from John havard's in Framingham. Hi
Woo! HI!
OK, I'm back, I will try to upload the picture tonight but no promises. It was a fun little get together. Thanks to Beebs, Robot Arm and Laughing Lagomorph.
Here are Robot Arm and Beebs.

Beebs will post Laughing Lagomorph and myself.
So how was the food and drink?
Well I had a Scottish Dark Ale that was quite tasty. More of a meal Ale though then a sit back and drink Ale.Quote:

My picture makes What Exit look like some bizarre caricature of himself. Which may be fitting since we talked about cartoons so much tonight. The camera phone loves Laughing Lagomorph on the left though.
It was a good night. A fine dinner topped off with smooches from jali.
Yes, I take a good camera phone picture. The smaller and blurrier the better.Quote:

I had a pale ale because the IPA I really wanted to get was not available. The pale ale wasn't great, the stout I had after that was pretty good. Buffalo chicken pizza (made with spent grain from the brewing process) was OK, I've had better pizza there.
These pictures make me smile. You guys are awesome. :)

Hey guys! I feel as if I know you now. The other half of the "fly foursome" out on the town.
Smooches for you two too!
OK, Blackberry is working again. I knew you guys were worried.
My moment of geek triumph the other night came when no one could remember the name of the actor who played the hard-boiled pilot who talked the plane down in the movie Airplane!
Two forlorn neurons in my cranium were able to make the connection (Robert Stack).
Cool, what got it working again?
A trip to the Sprint store!
They said the software was corrupted. I lost some data but nothing too disruptive.
Glad you guys had a good time! :)
