The yearly visit

I am astounded that Boston always seems like a nice place to live. I find myself thinking about moving but the idea is terrifying.

Plus the mortgage. But the thought is there.

Moving to a place that isn’t inherently political in nature is appealing.

More post PAX thoughts to come, but for now, this is the most surprising thing.

The great age of lines

 

Lines and more lines.

The BCEC Lobby during PAX East.

Lines and more lines. Queues upon queues. Part of the wonder is gone as more and more people show up, adding to the great mass.

I mean that is part of why this is amazing. But I wonder if it’s still what I want to do every year.

My bartenders are pretty good

One of the greatest feelings I’ve experienced is walking into a bar after a year away from that bar, and then being greeted by name.

That is what happened when I walked into the Legal Test Kitchen, Boston, located in Seaport.

I’m going to be perfectly honest. I primarily chose this bar because it was the closest restaurant to the Rennaisance Boston. It has a little bit of history for me as it was here where I have rekindled friendships with Boston friends, and made plenty of new friends each PAX East.

There are memories here, such as the time I got so drunk that I fell into the street, and my friends were so drunk that no one had any recollection of that event.

But bartenders here have been attentive, and take care of you even if you’re not a regular. They are friendly, check in on you, and do their best to make you feel like you have a space at the bar that they’ve been saving for you.

Many thanks to Helen, Josh and Catherine.

On The Train to PAX East

Lots of people are heading toward the back car, lots of streetpass opportunities are already happening.
