Can't Wait for this show!  Just bought tickets off a guy at the Radiohead show last week.  I've seen 'em a few times but last year at The Avalon was one of the best concerts I've ever been too...

No opening acts!?  

:D

[reenie]

I can't wait!!! What time are we meeting??

[fawlty36]

Can't freakin wait, just booked a room, coming from the other end of MA. Haven't seen MMJ since Mountian Jam a couple of years ago in Hunter, NY,,,, Ready to roll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D

[bold99]

Where are people meeting for this?  I have a ton of people going and i'm sure it will be chaos but i'd like to get down to the venue by like 5 or so.  

[Penny Lane]

i am staying at the westin if anyone is looking for a hotel--they have decent prices there for the location--it says one mile from venue but i think it's closer? i am meeting up w/reenie and her people early so let us know where you guys wanna meet.

[fawlty36]

we're stating at the ,Renaissance® Boston Waterfront Hotel , it's almost acrross the street. Got a room for 179 with AAA. Not bad for waterfront.

[New Pilot]

There's a sweet seafod/pub place right on the water right next to the venue.  Has outdoor seating on a deck and whatnot... great beers, great seafood!  Next door to that, is a Chinese Restaurant...

We did both last year before The Flaming Lips!  Draught Beer and Scorpion Bowls!!! mmmmmmmmmmmmmm... :P

Other than that, there's really nothing around the venue that I can think of.  You'd have to go into the city which is quite a hike.  I'm with a decent crowd and we're all going to start the day around 1pm down at the Harpoon Brewery and then swing over to the venue around 3 ish and hit that seafood place and the chinese place till they open the doors...

Is there a pit at this show!?

[New Pilot]

The set from Friday night in Louisville looked ridonculous so I listened to it on archive.org (godbless you tapers!)... and it's pretty much going to be the most amazing show ever!

[Penny Lane]

that sounds okay to me, especially since you say there's not much by the venue? i'll be ready to roll around 4.

I think you thinking of the Seaport Bar.  That place is ok, the deck usually get filled up pretty fast and the service is terrible.  There are a few other places in walking distance like the Barking Crab and some of the hotels on the strip have cool bars.  I actually prefer just drinking in the venue before if its a nice day out but I don't think doors are until 6:30 for some reason.  

this place is new and its right across from the venue with an outdoor patio.

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/

last pic mmmmmm...beer :)

[bold99]

Yeah thats what I meant, the Seaport Grille.  I've had really really bad experiences there with the food (things undercooked).  I usually do go there before shows but not lately since that happened.  The patio is tight, unless you get there really early its hard to get a seat.

Starting at Harpoon would be dangerous.  I kinda like to remember the show a little.

[bold99]

BTW is the Brewery new?  I don't remember it ever looking like that.  I've gone to a bunch of Harpoon fests.

[Penny Lane]

just got my tix in the mail--section 1, row N ;-) woo hoo!

Beer can do that to you...things always look different the next day.

I remember a beat up old warehouse...maybe it was the beer.
