New England Meet & Greet (Part 1)

Ian J · March 5th, 2008, 10:59

Us New Englanders need to get together and throw back some beers. I'll head this thing up, unless someone more qualified (who say, has a beach house) wants to take over.

This poll is to help decide WHERE to have it. Kinda picked the three biggest cities right in the middle. New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine guys, sorry!

Lower NY and Jersey guys - let's consider you New England even though you technically aren't.

Obviously, the M&G isn't limited to NE people only - all are welcome!

The next poll will help decide when.

Hope to see you guys soon. The poll closes in three days.

Boston seems like the best choice to me. In fact, I think I've got a BOS overnight coming up in a few weeks

USMC-SGT · March 5th, 2008, 13:38

Two votes for Boston. It is 40 minutes south of me and I commute out of there.

Andrew_VT · March 5th, 2008, 16:35

I vote portland ME or nashua NH...but for purely selfish reasons.

Damn I wish I coulda talked the gf into the maine beach house (at the expense of a longer commute).

New York City

, only 45 mins from me

OldTownPilot · March 5th, 2008, 18:11

This time of year, Boston.

Summer time, the family's camp on a lake in Maine.

Seggy · March 7th, 2008, 14:06

My arse is there. A lot of the Logan Airport Hotel properties offer airline discount rates with a free shuttle to the 'T' station.

One of the best Irish Pub in Boston (actually outside of Ireland according to Mr. Wu)...

A great place to eat...

http://www.wagamama.com/locations_ma...locationid=146

the menu which is very reasonable $$$ wise...

I doubt my parents would go for the bus to boston idea, or the train to boston either

Seggy · March 7th, 2008, 17:41

I just want to make it clear that NO ONE is forcing one to drink at all at this event or any other Jetcareers.com event.

Don't worry, no one will pass judgment on anyone because they don't drink.

How does April 25nd to the 27th sound?

That is pretty good, I went to one in Darling Harbour and that one wasn't even overpriced much at all.

MikeOH58 · March 7th, 2008, 21:43

I am 100% in for this!

Ian- I don't know if you thought about this or not, but it would be more of a fly-in without drinking, but what about Block Island when the season opens? The Oar has some great crab cakes and lobster roll!

If you need any help coordinating or researching please let me know Ian. Happy to help.

Ian J · March 7th, 2008, 22:54

Okay - just talked to Seggy tonight and looking at the poll, Boston it is. Seggy also has some awesome ideas about activities and places to go.

Let's nail down a date. April 25th-27th works for me. Thoughts?

Seggy · March 7th, 2008, 23:03

I think the biggest issue is going to be finding reasonable hotel rooms for a reasonable price.

We will figure something out though.

Ian J · March 7th, 2008, 23:15

Word. I'll work on it this weekend and come up with some options.

OldTownPilot · March 7th, 2008, 23:30

I'm so there.

You can get a hotel in the outskirts as long as its walkable to the T you are all set. Just have to be out of the bar at midnight or stay til 5.

MikeOH58 · March 8th, 2008, 00:21

If anyone can make it in a day early the sox have an afternoon game....

OldTownPilot · March 8th, 2008, 04:32

if you want to pay 40 bucks for nose bleed seats

Acadia · March 8th, 2008, 08:28

I would come down for a Boston event. For me it would have to be a week or two earlier (April 12/13 or 19/20). The last weekend of April on is the start of the window when our first rug rat is due. If that doesn't work I will make the next one.

beechpilot · March 8th, 2008, 11:16

Mmmmmmmmm..........adult beverages

MikeOH58 · March 8th, 2008, 12:31

Arghh...Just realized I have a wedding to go to on the 25th...Depending on how hung over I am I will still try and make the 26th.
