Anybody interested in a Boston listening party?

[Tim K in DC]

I say yes. I was actually thinking about it tonight. This month is a bit crazy for me (apartment and job hunting) but maybe once (or even before) that's settled for me, count me still in.

So who'd be in charge of said listening party?

So after a year of not much happening I'm helping Ted out and starting the search for a venue somewhere around the Boston area.  Ted suggested starting with a Bar named River Gods that's in Central Square in Cambridge, so i've sent an email to them asking about a listening party.  If anyone has any other suggestions on places they think would be good post them up here and i'll give them a call / email them.

Yikes... yes, it has been nearly a year. River Gods is a great joint, but it looks like they are booked solid for the month of January http://www.rivergodsonline.com/, which frankly is great for them considering this is the apocalypse, I mean, the slow season. At The Middle East (where I work), the only feasible room for such a gathering is the corner/bakery, where there is an opening this coming Tuesday (1/13... listed on the website as TBA, but the date is listed wrongly as 1/12, so that could be wrong, as well as the TBA), but the rest of the Tuesdays there are booked for January. I'll look into seeing about prospects for February, as there are at least a couple of other FOTs who happen to be co-workers of mine. PM me or email me (timklateriser at gmail dot com) if you don't hear something from me by next week.

That sounds great Tim.  If you can get the corner booked I'll put some effort in to promoting it one way or another.  Mike Milliard from the Phoenix is a fan of the show so maybe I can get them to put something in the paper about it.  I could probably get an announcement on WZBC too.  We'll be waiting to hear from ya Tim.  Thanks!

Hey all -

Sorry about the lag in updating on this. Turns out there is something else booked for Tuesdays in the corner at the East, at least for the next month (February). So... uh, unfortunately, I've got nothing. Anybody else have any ideas?

I mean, how many Boston area listeners are there? Worse comes to worse couldn't we just have a listening party at, y'know, somebody's house?

Well, Boston usually represents pretty well during the marathon so there is definitely an audience out here.  I believe the Chicago listening party went off okay (Can anyone verify that?).  But worst case, I don't think the Best Show meet up is a bad idea either.
