this post is for discussing the
JULY 11th ONTD_STARTREK MEETUPTentative plans: Meet at 3pm at the Park St station (corner of Tremont St and Park St) which is in the Boston Common. Closer to the date we can see where and if the film is still playing and obviously make a schedule to see it. Even if it isn't, awesome ~hijinks~ can ensue, it's a big ( Read more... )

ugh. Ok I might go but that's where we met last time and I had a bitch of a time getting there and it feels like too much drama for me to see a movie I've already seen 3 times lol.

Also the parking was $15 and that's bullshit.

myselftheliar June 18 2009, 18:29:25 UTC

Really? Where were you coming from that it was so difficult? Hrm. I've never had bad experiences having people meet there, I've done fairly large gatherings before in that area.

$15 for city parking isn't really that pricy, though one can park at the ends of the Red Line for free.

Worcester. I don't know my way around Boston since I rarely if ever go there so I got very lost trying to find my way home. Honestly I'm not comfortable wandering around Boston on my own. I realize I worry WAY too much but I'd rather be safe than sorry lol.

I'll figure something out. I'll take the day off from work just in case.

myselftheliar June 18 2009, 18:47:55 UTC

It's absolutely understandable to be concerned for these things.

Perhaps someone else is coming from your area! We'll see in the post!

Also i will be making my phone # available closer to the date so if anyone has an issue (lost, etc) they are more than welcome to call.

I am sorry this is difficult :( I just want everyone to be happy and have a great time!

I live nearby, so the only impediment to my attending is class/studying. This makes weekends ideal. Thanks for bestowing upon us your mad organizational skillz. :)

myselftheliar June 18 2009, 19:15:50 UTC

Yay! I am happy to do it, I am so excited. I know there was an earlier meetup I missed and figured if *I* organize the next there's no way I wont be there!!

valoscope June 18 2009, 19:22:23 UTC

Most logical. ;)

Cheesecake Factory sounds fine to me! *thumbs up* The 11th sounds great:D

I'd love to go, but like I said... I'll be in Kentucky, navigating the largest cave system in the world, getting a tour of the River Styx, and hunting bats to track their roosting patterns. THIS TRIP IS THE PERFECT COMBINATION OF GEEK AND GOTH, OMG.

We'll have to get together some other time this summer, with or without other Star Trek nerds.

myselftheliar June 19 2009, 04:12:08 UTC

Yes definitely, wasn't that concert rescheduled?

yamiko June 19 2009, 04:15:25 UTC

I haven't seen a new date yet on her website, so I don't know when it'll be. I'm going down to Manchester this weekend to see No Doubt, but it's a wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am sort of trip, because of father's day. We're driving down, going to the concert, and driving right back up.

But once Bat For Lashes gets another damn date, I'll let you know.

yamiko June 19 2009, 04:18:19 UTC

OH SNAP.

August 13th (Thursday) is the new date. I would assume I would be driving down Thursday, then not caring when I came back up as long as it was before Monday, since I have Friday, Saturday, and Sunday off from work.

coasterchild June 19 2009, 09:17:06 UTC

Alright, I'm pretty much dying to go, but the idea of driving in the city is all kinds of terrifying. And I'm not terribly familiar with Boston.

Could anyone else who's planning to park at the end of one of the lines possibly meet me there so that I have someone to follow into the city?

I'd also be up for a carpool if anyone else is coming from Southern NH (I'm in Derry).

solar_cat June 20 2009, 19:19:47 UTC

Well, I don't know which line you were planning to park at the end of, but I live at the Forest Hills end of the Orange Line, and while I'll be driving downtown (since taking the bus from my place to FH is laaaaaaame and also means I can't stay out past 12:30), if you want to park at mine and hitch a lift in, that would be totally cool. I don't know how late you're planning to stay, but there IS bus access between my place and Forest Hills if you have to skip out before I'm leaving. (And parking on my street is free!)

Just an option, though, and if you get a better offer, please do feel free to take it! =D

coasterchild June 20 2009, 20:04:17 UTC

It looks like I'll be able to meet up with someone at Sullivan Square, which should be easy enough for me to find. Thanks for the offer though!

solar_cat June 20 2009, 20:11:36 UTC

Awesome! I'm glad you found somebody! =D See you there, then!
