Boston BoA * August 14 * Roll Call

[woodnymph]

Remy's sounds good to me. Gonna cut out from work a bit early, so should be down there around 5. I'll have to go back and check out the members pics page so I'll recognize ya. Look forward to meeting everyone.

I'll save you the trouble.



Now, just add 20 years and at least 50 pounds, and take the hair away.  That'll be me!

JY you look dashing!   :)  This was just last week right!

if I had to guess I'd say it was around June 8, 1991...

;D  Well so much for compliments!  :P

I guess I Yac'ed my own thread w/myself!  Oh, and thanks, Woody!  I wish.

Legal Seafood just opened a cool looking place right near the Pavillion...

It's right across the street from Jerry Remy's Sports Bar and is on the water...

it has 3 floors with views of the water and pavillion

50 pounds?  Guess those silver bullets aren't so light after all!

[johnnYYac]

Wow..   :-\  Nice to meet you.



2 MORE WEEKS!  Wooooooo!

[astroevan]

I'm sorry if I offended you johnnYYac.  Being a craft beer devotee, I meant only to offend the coors light.

Speaking of craft beer, I love that the pavilion sells harpoon ipa in a can.  And last time I was there, it was the most economical choice.

Bumpers.

I'm seriously stoked for this and it's getting closer!! xD
The bar decision is still TBC right? I'm yet to lure my +1 to go to this, she's not as postboardy as me and probably thinks it's creepy to meet strangers, hell ima be honest it creeps me out a bit too but y'all seem cool and etcetera. Could be interesting if it doesnt get awkward. Ha

It's no more awkward or creepy than blogging with strangers...  ;)

I've met many forum folk...and it has always been a good time. The best thing is that you have a group a friends that are at the show; we always help each other out...saving a spot in line, holding your place on the rail and even going for beer runs. 

[foomex]

beer runs.

GOLD.

[johnnYYac]

I'd like to suggest the "official" My Morning Jacket Forum Pre-show gathering for Boston occur at Jerry Remy's Sports Bar.  I'll be getting into town around or just after 4 pm.  After we check in to our hotel, we will head right over to Remy's.  Mahg33ta said he might try to reserve some tables or whatnot, if Remy's will allow.  I'm in Chicago until Tuesday night, so I can't do anything until then.

I called Remy's last night to see if we could reserve a table / porch / room.... they told me to call back when it wasnt a Red Sox - Yankees game !!

[wolof7]

FYI - My Fiancee went barhoppin in the harbor area last night with some friends. I told her to give me the lowdown on the scene.

She went to Remy's, Harbor Bar and Whiskey Priest all within a block of one another....

....She said Remy's is huuuuuuge but since it was a Red Sox/Yanks game last night she said it was impassably crowded.

...She said the other 2 were  cool, perhaps not as big as Remy's but both have Roof decks/ bars which she said was a lot of fun....One of them had a $5 cover and she said that one wasn't as good as the other and smelled (?)....I will find out which bar was which and more info when she gets home tomorrow!

Hey MMJ Boston fans!

Big MMJ fan, but first time posting on this forum.  Roll call member, seen them live a bunch of times...you know the speech ;D ;D.  Normally I frequent the Pearl Jam forum, but jump over here occasionally to read show reviews, check out posters, and pray that I see that the Portland, ME show from last October is finally available!

Anyway, I am wondering if anyone might have an extra pair of tickets to the BOA Pavilion show?  I know tickets are still available, but I want to try to get closer to the stage.  Not saying I have to be up front, but would rather not be in the last row.

Going to Kah-Bang Saturday, which my friends are actually putting on in my hometown, and know I will have the MMJ bug after the show gets out Saturday night.  If anyone has an extra pair that would be sweet.  No worries if you don't.  I am planning on driving down to Boston no matter what and I will find my way into the show somehow.

Also looking for a pair if anyone has extras, or Joe if you upgrade would be happy to buy yours.  Would be my our first MMJ show, if anyone has or knows anyone that has extras, please email me.

Thanks!

Ok so I got the official lowdown....

.....all 3 bars have covers past 10pm which makes sense....

......WP and Atlantic Beer Garden (not Harbor Bar, don't know where that came from  :D) both have sweet rooftop bars.

....all 3 right on the water.....

....remy's got the most space....

[CountSA]

Harpoon and Atlantic Beer Garden are winning options.
