Unfortunately I have acquired a new ongoing commitment which will regularly conflict with the second Tuesday of the month (our usual tech meeting day). I'd be more than happy to continue arranging a room at BU, but we would need to either move the meetings to the first or last Tue of every month or to a different day. Otherwise we will need to find a new location for our tech meetings. Sorry for the inconvenience! If we can quickly select an alternate day for Jan I'll try to get it scheduled ASAP. How about a technical meeting on Tuesday, Jan 25? Meanwhile, we can discuss what day would be best for future meetings. In honor of Ben's visit I hereby propose a social event for Sun the 19th of Jan at say 7pm. any interesting new suggestions for a location? Given the season the closer to a T station the better. And of course a good beer selection is required! ;-} After some negotiation, we have agreed upon the 19th of January, 2005, being a Wednesday. Now we just need to decide upon a location. I'd favor somewhere we don't usually go to (i.e. not Boston Beer Works or Cambridge Brewing Company).

Re: [Boston.pm] When will the Jan meeting be?
Have we rejected John Harvard? (It's been about a year since we were there last, right?) Easy T access, good beer, food wasn't bad. --kag John Harvard does excel in the above mentioned areas, but it is also a *very* noisy place, at least the times I've been there. (Of course, it might be quiet on an 'off' night.) Their burgers *are* pretty good, btw. -Tim ___ Boston-pm mailing list Boston-pm@mail.pm.org http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm
