I work right next to the Pavilion and the anticipation for me is through the roof.  3 weeks?

[ericm]

Where's the love for this thread? Had to bump it up as it'll be my first concert ever in Beantown, and saw it had gone a whole week without a single post. ;)

Any pre show plans in the works yet?

I don't know much about the area other than the hotel we're staying at, but I'm definitely up for some suggestions for dinner/drinks.

[YungYave]

I live in Boston so I'm just gonna wing it, but there's a bunch of places to go down there. If you're looking for a taste of good local seafood go to Tia's on the waterfront, it's a little pricey but worth it. I'm getting so pumped for this, expecting a killer set list!! I know they're coming off two shows in a row, but they'll still bring the energy they usually do out here.

[Bigsky]

Just to get our energy flowing in the Boston direction...here are some images from the area (from an old post) http://www.mymorningjacket.com/forum/index.php?topic=7653.0


I think New Pilot is talking about Easter Pier II and The Seaport Grill:



There is also new museum not far from the Pavillion called the ICA: http://www.icaboston.org/ I am not sure if people are into art, but it's right on the water and is a great place to view Boston & the harbor.



But starting at the Harpoon Brewry sounds perfect...http://www.harpoonbrewery.com/




Harpoon Brewery closes at 3:00 on Sunday... :'(

[mahg33ta]

another images - hope it gets your juices flowing like it did mine

while on the deer tick boat cruise.... the entire rest of the boat belting out Don't Stop Believing (seriously) - I was staring at the BoA pavilion and thinking The Day Is Coming.

[ericm]

Sweet images. Definitely got my juices flowing.

Keep em coming.

The Harpoon looks good to me! ;)

[nuggets]

Bummer. Have to work that day so no chance of getting there early enough to hit Harpoon and doesn't sound like there are any other good places for a pre-show. That sucks. Was hoping to meet some of ya. Oh well. Have a great show everybody and I'll check back to see if anyone comes up with a alt plan.

There are plenty of places quite close, including a new sports bar literally next door to BoA Pav.  With all reserved seating, we don't need to worry about lining up for the rail.

I'd also be up for a post-show nightcap, even if its just a hotel bar or whatnot.  Being a Sunday night, I wonder when things quiet down.  My wife has work the next morning, but we might be good for an hour or so post-show.

Here it is, Jerry Remy's Sports Bar.

Mr. Yac comes through again!  8) 

I'm sure this Yankee fan will be able to block all that Red Sox stuff out of my mind, as long as I'm there for some MMJ badassery. ;)

Looking forward to seeing another show with you John. 

[johnnYYac]

Yeah, I'm not sure if everyone will care for the sports bar digs and all, but you can't beat the location.

1 is Jerry Remy's Sports Bar
2 is johnnYYac's hotel
3 is Bank of America Pavillion



Eric, will be good to see you again.  Kyle, Laura, Matt, Aaron, and Val as well!  Hoping to meet foomex, BigSky, nuggets, wolof, CountSA, YungYave, etc. 

If people are okay with this idea, we can preliminarily call J. Remy's the "official" pre-show watering hole.  If any locals care to warn us away or have a better idea, we're all ears.

[ericm]

I've got no problem with a sports bar, the Red Sox on the other hand............ ;)

Nice map. I know our hotel is in there somewhere on Northern Ave. too, just not sure which building. The concierge said it's right across the street and less than two blocks away.

John - What time are you and the Mrs. getting in to town? Our train arrives around 1:00-1:30 ish I think. Cabbing it to the hotel and hoping to check in early if they'll let us. Either way we're probably going to go for some lunch someplace close, and then checkout the area for a bit.

[wolof7]

Sounds good to me, got some pre-wedding vedor meetings in the morn but should be in Boston with the soon to be Mrs. Wolof come early-mid afternoon time....Go SoX!!!! 

[trave]

I'm in, Roll Call got me 9th row! Can't wait to make the trip out.

[nuggets]

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!
