Anybody interested in a Boston listening party?

[Tedstud]

Hey everyone,

Apparently this is my first post.  I'd like to try to set up a Boston listening party at some bar or coffee shop in the new year.  I know Boston is evil these days 'cause we win at all our sports but we support the Best Show when we aren't busy being champions.  So if enough people respond, I'll try to organize something for January. 

Good guys win,
Ted

Your FOT moniker is an almost perfect anagram of my surname.  It's very disconcerting.  I wondered for a moment if I'd created a new account during some sort of fugue state.

[Tedstud]

I'm very curious how I'd fit the 6 and 4 into your surname.  Is your name Italian or something?

[Sarah]

"Almost perfect," I said.  And I nearly noted "sans the 64," but I figured I didn't need to be so persnickety.  I forgot I was dealing with a FOT.

[Tedstud]

Maybe I was joking before but I think it would be much more interesting if you started working numbers into your last name.

[Sarah]

Having just this morning gone through yet another wrangle with a joint that couldn't find my name in its system because of the various ways people and/or computer programs decide to alphabetize it, I think I'll forgo complicating matters further by throwing in numbers.  Besides, that would be far too modern and screen-namey for this old fart.

It depends, are you going to play Don't Look Back, or the classic debut album? And where will this Boston listening party be held?

[Tedstud]

Definitely the self-titled debut.  I feel enough time has past since Brad Delp left the earth that we're finally starting to heal.  Now, we need to celebrate his life with a voracious listening party in his honor.  We'll spin through the first album and touch on great cuts from their other albums.  I'll find a place (Boston metro of course) as soon as we get enough people interested.

I would kill to ride in one of those alien ships,
Ted

I dreaded this day, since I work evenings and never get to hear the show live. so i can't make it.  You guys have my Boston FOT moral support. Tom has been heavy on the Boston bashing lately, this is a great way to show him Boston doesn't ruin everything and that we can get behind both The Best Baseball, Football and Basketball Teams in the Country and The Best Show on WFMU.

Let's not forget the great Hockey Team (one of the original 6) who are having a great season also. I'd love to attend but I hate dealing with the traffic of Boston, the parking of Boston, and of course the way all the roads are set up.

I hear ya on the trouble of driving in Boston but it doesn't have to be right in Boston.  I could be in Somerville, Cambridge or somewhere else that is easier to get to. 

As it happens, I went to the Bruins game last night and nothing about that game implied they were having a great season.

I know I watched the game on TV - well at least Aaron Ward had a great play

Please. You're just adding fuel to the fire. Also, I'm not behind at least the first two teams you mentioned. It is possible to not give a crap either of them and live in Boston. I would like to see the Celts and Bruins make something happen, if only if it serves to bring some attention to (at least in my opinion) two far more entertaining sports than the boring-no-matter-where-you-live pro baseball and football. Plus, we all know that the Puppy Bowl is the only real sport worth watching at all.
