Steve's right -- there's a $10 ( bus from Boston to New York that leaves from Chinatown (almost around the clock I think).  My new office is only a couple blocks from there.   

I decided since I haven't taken a day off since Christmas, I deserved better than a bus ride.  My co-worker recommended the Amtrak Accela over the airport shuttle as it gets you closer to the city -- and won't require an expensive cab ride.

Plus, I heard many of the Acela trains have internet access.   

I'll save the bus for a trip to Foxwoods or Mohegan Sun.

I decided to start a new topic to separate this from Newport and New York.  If you read that topic, you know that Bobubas is coming to Boston on Tuesday Aug 26 after spending Monday at everybody's favorite mansion in Newport.

My new best friend Keith just got promoted to Day Bar Manager at a bar between Downtown Crossing and Chinatown.  How about a get together on Tuesday at the bar.  They serve great food, at a reasonable price for downtown Boston.

If anybody has DVDs, I can play them on my laptop.  They probably have a VCR there -- or I could bring one of mine.  I've been working so much, I'm probably going to give up taping Passions & Days for a while.

I'm working on getting the best deal on Red Sox tickets for Bob Tuesday night.  Does anybody else want tickets?  Many seats are available -- wide range of prices.

I also put a hold on a hotel room in the theater district.  I know the concierge who may be able to knock down the price for me.  I'd highly recommend Shear Madness -- half price tickets the day of the show.

Thanks for the info on Mark, Josette & Midnite.  I did have his phone number and snail mail too once upon a time -- although I thought he may have moved within Florida.  Will try the email.

I do think I'll go to Newport this weekend -- it's so easy from Boston.  And I'm working on Sox tickets for Bobubas -- and asked for 4, Bob, so that a friend and I can join you.  Will be sure to take digital pics.

Will try for NYC if budget and time allow.

I haven't posted in quite a while.  I first found most of these wonderful "cousins" at the scifi board.  I've only been to one fest -- in 1995 -- but I did attend the Frid show on Long Island and two Selby plays in Hartford.  I've mostly gone by brocman -- Nicky rechristened by BrocBaby after I hooked him up with Buffy -- which was not originally shown in Montana -- how awful!.  I've met my former neighbor Gothick -- and he invited Aimee over for a wonderful afternoon of DS fun.  I met a few people in Hartford and Long Island -- but mostly I've been the mysterious cousin from Boston.  I loved meeting David Selby in person, and was very glad to get his autograph, along with his castmemembers, on several copies of the script of Long Day's Journey -- one of which I gave to my parents on their 40th Anniversary.
