Anyone from the New England area plan on attending?

I'm from southern ct and I do plan on going for the first time....

i'm driving down from hartford with 1 other person. i wouldn't mind bringing another 1 or 2 folks if you're chill (and over 21).

No doubt, I may be heading down there just me it would be cool to kno someone down there, what's your name I wonder if I ran into you at any shows around ct (my name is rich)

I'll be flying down from Boston New England represent!

Right on, I'm from Mass too. I wanted to fly down but all my friends are too broke or too responsible...I guess it depends on if the rumors of Hot Water Music doing it are actually true.

I hear ya. Only reason I'm flying is 'cause my uncle/godfather gave me some Southwest Airline gift cards for Christmas. Otherwise, I'd either be driving, or once again missing Fest.

Those rumors being true would rule. Here's hoping!

yea alotta people keep shooting down these rumors but it just sux that hwm is touring and planning on releasing another album and not playing Fest
....it would so awesome to see hwm and chuck ragan solo ( and the ship theives for that matter)

I am trying to get to gainesville from worcester county in mass. anyone headed that way has room for an extra person let me know. if not i will be greyhounding it.

cheers.

Hey Boston friends, we'll be in your town for a few days post-Fest with no particular agenda other than to see some sights and have some fun, what area should we stay in and what should we do?

Harvard square is a popular area to hang out. Sometimes you can catch a good show in that area. Not far from harvard square is central square on mass ave there usually some shit popping. alot of decent shows go through the middle east. and right next to the middle east you got TT the bears (although i boycott this club for a lawrence arms show having got shut down there)

Ummm the aquarium is pretty nice. and the museum of fine arts is interesting shit.

Yep. Have fun.

Hey dudes. There could be some good shows going down, or just good beer drinking and what have you.

I'd explore places like Allston and Jamaica Plains if you're looking for stuff to do. There are good venues for shows and stuff there, plus cool bars and things. Especially in JP. But yeah, like larryarms said, Cambridge has Harvard Sq. plus venues like the MidEast and TTs, and some others.

I'm bad at this stuff. But let's hang at Fest then rock Boston.

I'm coming from Boston! Well actually from Germany but I'm flying into beantown the week before. I would love love love to share a car with a big group driving down! I can help pay for gas and make sandwiches and tell you funny german phrases.

x halley

originally me and my friend sabrina were driving down together which would have left us room in the car. but she backed out cuz of school or some shit. now i'm riding a greyhound from worcester mass. or else I would have told you to join us halley. sorry. That would have been fun drinking yager straight to florida.

We booked into the Taj on Arlington Street, is that a good spot?

(It seems like a really nice hotel but it was pretty cheap so we're a little alarmed that a/ the rest of the bill is still to follow and b/ there'll be bell boys and concierges and things and we'll need to learn how to do the handshake tip thing.)
