I’ve finally posted and organized my
Boston Photos on Flickr!
It was an incredible trip and it’d take me forever to go through the details. So how about a brain barf of tidbits?
My stay lasted from August 10 - August 18. For the first few days, I stayed with my good friend Dave-Diode and his lovely roommate, Stacy, in Somerville; after that I stayed with Charles and Courtney near Porter Square. Many thanks to these individuals for their wonderful hospitality.
Charles and Courtney got married! It was an awesome wedding. The ceremony lasted about 20 minutes; the reception and ensuing bar crawl went til all hours. Charles’ sister gave me a pair of Mephisto flip flops: score.
The Diesel is the best coffee shop I’ve ever been to - it has pool tables, windows, space, gey girls, high cielings, cool art, freaks, mint brownies, oh yeah, and amazingly good espresso and coffee.
Thanks to Charles and Courtney for lending me a bicycle for the duration of my trip - a bicycle is THE way to get around Boston, as far as I’m concerned. The bike allowed me to LIVE it. Tourist, I am not.
Discovered Scot Miller at the Harvard Museum of Natural History - he had a photo exhibit of images from Walden Pond. They were gorgeous.
Bluefin Sushi is awesome. I ate there twice.
I got to hang with my good friend, Jason - he showed me the SETI lab, reunited me with my ex (thanks!), shared a brownie with me at the Diesel, and dined with me all around town. Alas, the trip only whetted my appetite - I’m hungry for more Jason.
MIT is new and blockular, except for the Stata Center.
I went to a high school teacher party. It was fun… the snacks were tasty… and high school teachers are way more attractive in Boston (an easy comparison given that my high school teachers were nuns).
Dave bought a Mac Mini. dr00l
Stacy’s cats are adorable house pests.
Downtown Boston reminds me of The City of London
The Goodwill in Davis Square is a goldmine.
Like everyone else who’s ever been to a Trader Joe’s, I love the place.
Bars visited: Christopher’s, The Miracle of Science, Jury’s Hotel Lounge, McCormick & Schmick, Grendel’s Den
Restaurants Dined at: Legal Seafoods, Bluefin Sushi, V. Majestic, The Rosebud, Tealuxe, Au Bon Pan, a forgettable place near MIT, Dave’s kitchen (best restaurant of them all)
Yeah, of course there’s more. But I’m out of time!
