Drupal Meetup? Jan 18th-20th

Also, does anyone know of Drupal people in Schenectady / Albany, New York? I am headed there also to see a client, and I'm curious, since it seems pretty close geographically speaking.

I'd also love to try and make it!

I don't that I will bring much to the table, but I would really like to sit in, and listen.

Cambridge Brewing Company is a few blocks up the street if you are staying at the Marriott.
Tommy Doyle's right is right next door, has decent food, and the best bartender in Cambridge. Sheena.

I will definitely be there. This will be my first Boston Drupal Meetup. I am looking forward to it!

b.good in Harvard SQ is great. GREAT burgers and the workers there are EXCELLENT.

Cambridge Brewing Company is nice if you like bars :)

Hi all, I am new to the Boston drupal scene as well (didn't know something like this existed). I need some help with themeing - I don't know what to do! :) Is anybody willing to help me out at this meetup, or should I wait until next month? I'm creating a site for a college club sport's team and need to get it up and running in the next few weeks...

Thanks!

Not sure what the status is, but if anything has been solidified, I would love to meet up as well. Wednesday wouldn't be so good for me personally, but Monday or Tuesday are perfect.

And if something does get solidified, may i request that it get added as an event on the calendar? It would help me figure out my schedule since I hook the Boston calendar with my Google calendar.

Thanks, and I look forward to seeing you all.

Hi Ryan,

Nice to virtually meet you. As I work at Media Lab, there are a lot of free communal MIT spaces for us to congregate around campus with open wi-fi, some requiring advanced room booking, others not. If I can make a suggestion: maybe what we can do is have a 2-part shin-dig: an informal meet-up around 5:30-6:30pm-ish. Then social/fooding part at 7:00p. People can opt in for either/both.

Informal Meet-Up: 5:30-6:30pm

MIT Stata Center http://www.csail.mit.edu/ - bunch of brown booths we can occupy; people can drop in when they can.
It's a Frank Gehry-design bldg. that houses compsci and ai labs.

Food: 7pm- ?

Option 1

Grendel's is not a bad suggestion; their half-price deal is actually Sun-Thur, 5-7:30pm and then 9-11:30p according to their site.

To herd our group from Kendall Sq. to Harvard Sq., it would be take 30 min. total and we'd prob. take the T.
Food/drinks are affordable, you'd be amongst two prestigious campuses in one day, and you can be a little touristy.

We'd have to promptly order to make the 7:30p deadline and then the happy hour 9pm time just may pop around again haha.

I'd prob. call them in advance that evening to let them know the number of people in our group to make things more efficient. :-)

Option 2
(If we opt for this food choice, we can make the informal meet-up go longer!)

CBC or Cambridge Brewing Company - http://www.cambrew.com/
Attractive to beer fans, takes prob. 15-30 min. for the herd to walk over.
Many local Kendall Sq. employees, from tech to biotech, hang out there.
There's Flat Top Johnny's next door for your spontaneous game of pool.

Tuesday 1/19 works for me.

Jeannie

I think you guys already have a regular monthly meetup, I was hoping for something more social.

EDIT: I like the idea of meeting early at MIT (5:30), then migrating to some dinner and beers (7:00+) - as suggested by Jeannie and Susan. I like the sound of Cambridge Brewing Co, as suggested by Jeannie and Mike.

Tuesday night. I'm looking forward to meeting everyone.

I'm still game for whatever we decide as long as there are beers available!

Have we decided when we are actually meeting? 5:30? 6:30? Stata Center?
