Is this for the bar before or after the show? I don't have any idea where anything is in Boston, so I'll just go with whatever the majority is doing.  ;)

hah I guess I should read the rest of the thread next time - thought this was for the show itself (i wondered why the list was so short!) Revision:

I'm also going to commit myself and my wife, Michele, to Remy's for our pre-game location, as we have to check in to our hotel and won't arrive to Boston until after 4 pm.  I can't speak for anyone else, but that's where we'll be.  We were there for a garden show at the nearby trade center and Remy's is right next door to the BoA Pav.

I think you are the guy that taped the 08 BoA Boston show, and if so, Bravo - I listened to that many many times over the years.

I'm guessing you are the gordo55 from expressobeans, and if so, I sent you a PM there

I haven't chimed in here because I'm not 100% sure I can make the pre-game, but I've followed the bar discussion and I do think Remy's is the right call.   It's not as cool as the others (no roofdeck, more "chain restaurant" atmosphere) but it is RIGHT across the street and the others are a few big blocks away.    That seems important if we are dealing with will call, ticket sales/purchases, etcc... and the weather!  looks like another rainy BoA show.

I'll be there JY if at all possible- just depends on babysitter, wife, weather, desire for poster, and if I want to hit opener or not.

Does anyone here know if the venue will allow you to bring in a poster tube?  Gonna be a wash out...need proper poster protection.

I've never been there, but I can't see why not. I'm bringing mine, bad weather or not. Most venues allow it. At most they check to see that it's empty when you go in.

At T5 they only checked my tube on the last night...could've made a small fortune bringing in who knows what the first 4 nights. ;)

Amazing...I felt like I was being assaulted while getting searched for T5. They made me throw away my cookies!

Rem Dogs bar, what a soft landing for a Sox fan

1st MMJ show in T-minus 3 days.  I actually got my parents to join my wife and I.  My Dad is a big jam band fan and sees Little Feat, The Allmans, and the Dead on a regular basis...I think MMJ, though not a jam band per se, will be right up his alley so hopefully he'll be in for a pleasant surprise.

For those of you that have some time to kill on Sunday it may be helpful to know that it's the start of Restaurant Week in Boston.  That means you can get a 3 course dinner at most of the upscale restaurants in town for $33!!!!  Check it out:  http://www.restaurantweekboston.com/

We're trying out Flemming's Steakhouse & Wine Bar and my mouth is already watering.

Harpoon Brewery Tour in the afternoon....Flemming's for Dinner....Losing my MMJ virginity for dessert.  Not a bad day.

Thank you...I'll probably try to bring one in then.

Hasn't it rained the last two times MMJ played headlining shows in MA? Should be a nice rainy night... really looking forward to it.

yup, if you are counting holyoke '10 and boston '08.  Holyoke was rainy, then drizzly;  boston 08 was ridiculous rain.   It looks like the streak continues.

Pearl jam '06 and Petty '10 were great weather, but you did say headlining!

[wolof7]

Hey y'all we are down for Remy's if that's where the party is!

[joey_rogo]
