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:

<i>*what's going on for new years?*</i>

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:

<b>monday 29 december:</b> PAMN!

<b>tuesday 30 december:</b> karaoke at charlie's
(also making tuesday my birthday - heh.)

<b>wednesday 31 december:</b> ___________


let me know? :)

Wednesday 7 January: ______________

Thursday 8 January: Rockin' out in Worcester

Friday 9 January: _________________

Me too!

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.

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
