Looks good to me! It's apparently just down the block from the convention.

[GACollectibles]

Do we start drinking before, after or during the show

 

All of the above!

Dont know about Fire&Ice, too many chefs handling my food if you know what I'm saying

Count me in.

 

Here's 2 more considerations for dinner location--one, if we stay downtown or Back Bay, we'll have to deal with parking and post-parade crowds. Two, more people might come if we go out to the 'burbs (if everyone has wheels)--I know CKB said that he didn't feel comfortable leaving his stock in his mini-van downtown.

Burbs are nice and peacefull instead of dealing with downtown traffic

I'm weird that way... Jaded and paranoid.

 

But don't let that stop you from going to Jacob W. or Legal or another downtown spot. I don't need to go.

There is a Legals in Framingham which is 20 minutes away from Boston. You can even park your van in my driveway which 15 minutes from Legals. Dont have to worry about your stuff being snatched, heck I doubt if people can even find my house

Regarding parking, according to Bedrock's first post we get validated parking across the street at 100 Clarendon. I'm planning to take advantage of that, and I have a life-long bias against ever paying for parking in town.

 

Will that allay CKB's concerns? I don't know, but it will probably solve the parking issue unless we need to be out of the garage by a certain time.

 

The parade starts at 1:00 and is in Southie. Although every bar and restaurant will be busier than usual I don't think there's going to be an enslaught of floats flowing into the Back Bay when the show is over and we're ready to go out.

 

It seems since we're all going to be in the same locale, it would be easier to find a spot nearby rather than truck back out of town.

 

Finally, I could be wrong and I'm not 100% sure I'll be free after the show, either.

[Dick Pontoon]

Um, er.... nevermind!

[DNAgent]

i will do anything...but i'd prefer to get out of boston and into the burbs...

Welcome - we have updated our web site with creators and vendors who will be attending - as you will see many new vendors who normally do not appear in boston are setting up - go to www.bostoncomiccon.com for listing - also as far as parking goes - parking on the street is free ( legal spaces only ) - if you park in the lot on Clarendon street ( across from hard rock cafe ) we will validate your parking stub ( bring it with you ) - IT WILL COST YOU WITH VALIDATION

$6.00 -

So I tell my wife some board members are going out for food and drinks after the show.

 

"That sounds great," she said, "you should go!" Pausing for a beat, she adds "Are you all going to dress up as your favorite characters?"

Unfortunately we all look like Peter Parker already. Except maybe nik.

Yeah. Put a moustache on him and he'd make a good J. Jonah Jameson.

[nik]

I look more like Peter Porker then Peter Parker

 

 

Was wondering if anyone has come up with a definate place for eats after the show?

 

I can also suggest Erichs restaurant which is in Framingham and he is a forumite on the boards also.

[Red Hook]

My first choice was Fire and Ice only because it seems convenient. But I defer to you local guys. If it's within 20 minutes in the burbs lets do it. Show ends at 4pm I think. Let's meet by 5pm.

 

Nik and Paul....you guys decide and we'll follow! Anyplace with decent food, away from crowds where we can talk will do!

You guys are hopping on the Pike to head home afterwards, so it would be close to the pike to be fair to you and the Mrs.
