Let me add to Val's list:
- The Museum of Science, featuring the world's largest Van de Graaff generators! (Imagine what Miracleman can do with such secrets!)
- New England Comics, birthplace of The Tick! SPOOOOOONNNNNN!!!!!
- The Boston Aquarium, where you can celebrate sea life. And right across the street, Legal Seafoods, where you cna celebrate sea life with butter!
- Chowdah. Say it with me: CHOWDAH!!!!
- The killerest bar band ever playing every night at a bar called Toad (I think this is still happening. Haven't been in awhile.)
- For once good odds that Victor and Lea can manage to show up!
Toad's still there and it still rocks every night.
Toad's still there and it still rocks every night.
Oh yeah. But any night where Anita Suhein sings "I Got A Brand New Pair of Roller Skates" and "Jolene" back to back? Absolutely Fucking Magic.
I have no pimping to add to Boston other than, when I was there last week, it was very pretty. And the North End has very, very good Italian food.
New York, on the other hand, well, here are some reasons off the top of my head:
1) The Museum of Modern Art, my favoritest place ever
2) The Metropolitan Museum of Art, my dad's favoritest place ever
3) The Museum of Natural History, my brother's favoritest place ever
4) About a trillion other museums, most of which I haven't checked out, but are supposed to be cool
5) Broadway
5) Off-Broadway
7) Off-off Broadway
8) If you the date is late enough, Shakespeare in the Park
9) The Park, including The CP Zoo
10) Other parks
11) Brooklyn Botanical Gardens
12) Bronx Botanical Gardens
13) World-class nightlife
14) I went to this restaurant one time that had a Scotch menu with over 100 types of Scotch
15) People-watching!
16) I hear you can shop here
17) You might see a celebrity
18) Good food of every type (though Boston does beat NYC for seafood, on the whole)
19) Talented street performers
20) It's NYC!
Okay, that's all.
I hear you can shop here
Dirty liar. There is no shopping in New York.
Just a feeble reminder (echoing Sean) that we'd talked about deciding on the date before we make the vote on the location.
Side note: We adore Holiday Inn Express. Awesome value, great linens (yes, this matters to me because I am a pretty pretty Princess), free internet and breakfast, and coffee and free cookies and milk in the lobby!
I think that would be a good idea too.
Okay. Let's do that. I'll set up a poll.
You really should be wearing your flashing tiara hat while you do this, you know. It's only right and fair.
Or not - I have no Mr Poll account. Jessica, can you set up a poll for me? Here are the dates:
May 18-20
June 1-3
June 8-10
June 15-17
June 22-24
