The Space Center is almost to Galveston, so it's quite a hike out of the city. I don't know what the transportation situation is, although I'd imagine there are companies that take you back and forth. It will probably take most of a day, all in all.
You'll be by the Menil when you're at the Rothko, and the Menil is worth doing.
If you want trashy Tex-Mex, eat at Chuy's. I recommend the fish tacos. If you want more authentic, see if you can get to the original Ninfa's on Navigation.
Rice is in the Museum District and is worth a drive or walk through.
Looks like I'll be in Boston Feb 26th - March 1st. The 27th-1st are pretty well scheduled, but the 26th is just a travel day. I'm supposed to arrive at 3:00pm on the 26th and am staying at the Boston Yotel.
If you end up having any free time during the day, I'd love to meet up. Otherwise, you'll be right across the way from the Institute for Contemporary Art, so that's a no-brainer.
Meeting up would be great. It would probably have to be the evening of the 26th. I don't think I'll have any other time.
I don't know if that evening will work for me, but keep me updated if your schedule opens up at all.
So here's a question: are there Buffistas in London or Paris? I'm asking because there's a tiny, tiny chance I'll be in London and Paris in mid April (bf will be in England for a conference and a few lectures and will continue to London and Paris afterwards. bf is working on convincing me to join him, and he is usually wonderful with convincing me in general, so even though I'm officially undicided because I'm too busy right now to think of a vacation overseas, I wanted to ask here).
edited for autocorrectiness.
Also, do we have any Buffistas in/near Dublin? due to flight wierdness I am forced to spend a night in Dublin. I was all psyched to go to the secret Guinness bar, but it's only open Thursday-Saturday and I will be there Monday :(

There are still NON-secret pubs that service Guinness you know...
what's the secret Guinness bar??? (We'll be in Dublin this summer)
It's a bar in the Guinness Storehouse where they make up new beers. It's not really a secret, it's open to the public. It just doesn't have an entrance on the main road.
When Katie and I went to Ireland I was a day late getting there (passport fuckery), so she went on the Guinness tour without me. I didn't really mind because I'm not a beer person, but I still want to go to the secret bar. Really, this is just another reason to go back to Ireland.
