Welcome to the 2004 BarliBash list!
I've put everyone from my personal distribution list onto this so it will be
easier for folks to communicate. If you don't want to get these emails, let
me know and I will remove you, but you may miss important info!
One thing I need to get a response on from the folks going to IMAX: Traci is
asking what IMAX we want to see. For some reason, I assumed folks could pick
and choose whichever they wanted, but this may not be the case. I've heard
several say they like the sound of the Forces of Nature show at 3pm. The
choices are:
2PM Adrenaline Rush
3PM Forces of Nature
4PM India:Kingdom of the Tiger
5PM Forces of Nature Please, if your
are an IMAX person, respond to me with your vote
Here are some points of interest for everyone:
Everyone NEEDS to have their Jury's reservation in by July 15th. After this
date the hotel will release any unreserved rooms back into the hotel pool to
be used by general public.
We are scoping out fun things to do during our visit. One of the only
complaints I have ever heard about a BarliBash in the past is the fact that
everyone spent too much time standing around trying to decide what to do,
and then waiting for X,Y, & Z to meet up at designated time. So this year
we're going to attempt to have a loose itinerary. No one will be forced to
do anything on the list, becuse there is *so* much to see and do, we cannot
please everyone. Add the fact that not everyone will be there on the same
days.. and you will see it is logistically impossible to please everyone ; )
A couple of things we've been looking at are:
Wednesday evening (for early arrivals):
Boston Museum of Fine Art (entrance by donation)
dessert at http://www.finaledesserts.com/
Thursday:
duck tour! http://www.bostonducktours.com/
walk around the common / ride the swan boats?
http://www.swanboats.com/new/welcome.shtml
get together at a place to be decided later for dinner/drinks/hellos and
hugs
Friday:
breakfast on the run
Boston Museum of Science for luncheon, LOTR exhibit and IMAX
Dinner at Legal Seafoods
Ghost tour of Boston?? ($30)
http://boston.about.com/od/travelandtraffic/a/ghost_tour.htm or one of this
walking tour? http://www.newenglandghosttours.com/tours.html
Saturday
USS Constitution (free but museum costs)
http://www.ussconstitution.navy.mil/
Chinatown perhaps?
POOL PARTY at HannaBoffin's!! (more info to come!)
Sunday
I imagine most folks will be leaving out Sunday, so this is wide open atm.
Some other points of interest are the Cheers Bar
http://www.cheersboston.com/index_bh.html
a tour of the Samuel Adams Brewery ($1! but not in a good section of town
and not easily accessible by T)
http://boston.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?site=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.samadams.com%2Fbeer%2Ftour.html
or a tour of the Harpoon Brewery (again $1!)
