a very boston new years

as promised, i will be back in boston from 28 december 2008 to 3 january 2009 for new years/my birthday/all the associated shenanigans...but, since i'm a bit out of the loop now, i'm wondering: *what's going on for new years?* on my end, i'll be organizing the usual pre-party dinner outing to celebrate the night i got sliced out of my mom's body - but what's going on after that? are there any shows, parties, afterparties...? things of rideside interest i know to be happening in the vicinity: monday 29 december: PAMN! tuesday 30 december: karaoke at charlie's (also making tuesday my birthday - heh.) wednesday 31 december: ___________ let me know? :)

aw, see, this is the tradeoff...i didn't have to start school until the end of september, but now i no longer get january off. boo! thursday 8 january is my first day of class for the winter term, but i'd rather be rockin' out in worcester. teehee. perhaps all us ridesiders-in-exile should try to coordinate overlapping summer returns? (the more mayhem the merrier!)

Seriously. Maine camping, perhaps.

oooh! you know, i think i've only been to maine twice...once for an annual illegal outdoor party in the middle of nowhere, and once when my friend P. and i accidentally got abandoned outside a walmart at 3:00 in the morning somewhere also quite near the middle of nowhere. the whole second act of my undergrad thesis took place in portland, but i've never been - durrr.

Lox: Me, pchipster, and honar are going to be in NH for New Year's at the Casa Di Chipcagni, where there is floor space for all. You're welcome to join!

Do it!

You coming, too, dyedon?

Posted by dyedon8 on 2008-12-18 12:08:42 +0000
Affirmative.

ooooh...thank you! much appreciated, and will certainly take under consideration. :) how long does it take to drive up there? i'm trying to pull a dinner reunion thing together in the city, and had some tentative brunch stuff planned for new year's day, but there's a possibility that could all be shifted around....

It's around 2.5 hours from Boston, in Madison (near North Conway) We are offering: 1. A huge pile of records, heavy on schmalz 2. Mattresses/floor space galore 3. A fire in the stove 4. Some eats 5. Too much booze 6. More fresh air than you can stand 7. A yodelling wake-up call 8. Some friends and good conversations 9. A cozy little former school house in NH in which to mark the new year without watching the ball drop on TV
