Mellofest near Boston April 12th at 6:30PM in Framingham

**What Exit?** · 04 Mar 2010 10:10 AM

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.

**Taumpy** · 04 Mar 2010 10:28 AM

I might be able to swing it, but can't say for certain yet.

**What Exit?** · 04 Mar 2010 10:39 AM

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.

I'd love to go but for obvious reasons it ain't happening.

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.

If your reasons involve the huge distance I can't help you.

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

Seriously, it would be cool if you could make it.

**The Original An Gadaí** · 04 Mar 2010 03:17 PM

I might have to try to arrange a simulfest with Ivan Astikov at some stage.

**beebs** · 05 Mar 2010 09:57 AM

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.

**What Exit?** · 06 Apr 2010 09:59 AM

So Monday April 12th at 6:30PM in Framingham is approaching fast.

Just a reminder.

**Laughing Lagomorph** · 06 Apr 2010 11:45 AM

I'm there!

**Taumpy** · 06 Apr 2010 04:19 PM

Sorry, guys. I'm gonna have to catch you next time.

**What Exit?** · 12 Apr 2010 01:30 PM

Next time Tom.

Robot Arm will be joining us tonight.

**OneCentStamp** · 12 Apr 2010 01:32 PM

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?

**OneCentStamp** · 12 Apr 2010 01:38 PM

To say "Hey guys, here we are having a fest!!!" or something.

I dunno.

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

Can do. I'll see if I can't dust off my Photobucket account as well to post incriminating real-time pics.

Robot Arm will be joining us tonight.

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

**beebs** · 12 Apr 2010 04:16 PM

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.

I tried to download the Photobucket app to my Blackberry and now the device seems to be well and truly farked. I've just got the revolving hourglass pattern on the screen. Even taking out the battery for several minutes hasn't helped.

**What Exit?** · 12 Apr 2010 06:33 PM

Posting from John havard's in Framingham. Hi

**Zuul** · 12 Apr 2010 06:36 PM

Woo! HI!

**What Exit?** · 12 Apr 2010 07:39 PM

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.

**What Exit?** · 12 Apr 2010 08:08 PM

Here are Robot Arm and Beebs.

Beebs will post Laughing Lagomorph and myself.

**Zuul** · 12 Apr 2010 08:10 PM

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.

The burger I had was fine, a Shroom and Swiss one.

Hi guys. Smooches and hugs! You both look GOOD!

**beebs** · 12 Apr 2010 09:35 PM

Umm, this isn't a very good photo. I swear it looked better on the screen of my phone.

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.

It was fun to attach real life people to the online personas. Beebs is much less wombat-like than I expected.

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.

**OneCentStamp** · 13 Apr 2010 08:27 AM

These pictures make me smile. You guys are awesome.

**jali** · 13 Apr 2010 10:20 AM

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!

**Laughing Lagomorph** · 14 Apr 2010 07:57 PM

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).

**What Exit?** · 15 Apr 2010 08:27 AM

Cool, what got it working again?

**Laughing Lagomorph** · 15 Apr 2010 11:07 AM

A trip to the Sprint store!

They said the software was corrupted. I lost some data but nothing too disruptive.

**Sarahfeena** · 15 Apr 2010 02:59 PM

Glad you guys had a good time!
