Author Topic: I'm coming to Boston! Manny Knowles "What are these things and WHY are they BLUE???" Posts: 4247 From: Bloomington, IN, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 09-17-2003 10:50 AM                     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?  |  IP: Logged Chris Trainor Expert Film Handler Posts: 161 From: Greenville, RI, USA Registered: Jun 99 posted 09-17-2003 12:19 PM                        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. --Chris  |  IP: Logged William Hooper Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1879 From: Mobile, AL USA Registered: Jun 99 posted 09-18-2003 01:06 AM                        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 http://www.angelfire.com/empire/playhouse/boston_capitol/boston_capitol_edit.htm It is now the Wang Center.  |  IP: Logged Sean McKinnon Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1712 From: Peabody Massachusetts Registered: Sep 2000 posted 09-18-2003 01:29 AM                        Hit me with an email when you get to Boston.  |  IP: Logged Rachel Craven Madam Moderator Posts: 2190 From: Pensacola, FL Registered: Dec 2000 posted 10-09-2003 02:26 PM                     Manny, I'm coming back Oct 25th - Nov 8th, I'm just going to miss you!!! 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.  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan." Posts: 10973 From: Lawton, OK, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 10-09-2003 06:12 PM                     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.  |  IP: Logged Rachel Craven Madam Moderator Posts: 2190 From: Pensacola, FL Registered: Dec 2000 posted 10-10-2003 12:48 AM                     Puritans Sadistic? Nah...  |  IP: Logged
