Back from seeing Nora and Tom, Perkins, megan walker, and Polter-Cow.
We met up at the wine bar at Eos and Matilda happily munched on bread and clambered on me while we snarfled up the shitake mushroom dumplings. P-Cow arrived just in time to get No Food Whatsover, except three little potatoes. Then we told him we were going to split the bill evenly.
I tried to lead the herd of us to Alembic but it was too crowded. So Polter-Cow grabbed two slices of pizza and we walked down to the Zam Zam. I was worried that (a) they wouldn't allow outside food to the bar and (b) they wouldn't allow Matilda. But they did. And the bartender made her a super special Cherry Lime Rickey with whipped cream while we all had Manhattans and Martinis.
Matilda announced, "I want a martini too!" Which was the right thing to say in that particular bar but only got her a Cherry Lime Rickey.
Also, Tom and Nora ROCK like the rockingest things ever, but you all already knew that.
Glad to here the McWaringles arrived safe and sound.
In the city there are buses and cabs, but to go to the other cities, it would probably be easiest to carpool.
There are also train options to Boston (MBTA and Amtrak). I'm not sure if the commuter rail one runs all the way to Providence on the weekends, though.
Had dinner with TB on Saturday. Thanks for the conversation, dude.
Take care of our Scola! I would like him well-fed and rested in PDX, please.
What's the plan for N&T at Toronado tomorrow night? If my jetlag doesn't kill me, I might be able to join y'all after the Margaret Atwood reading I'm attending (around 9). Think you'll still be there?

Should have come to see me....
Should have come to see me....
You were more than two blocks away.
Okay, y'all, are there plans tonight for Toronado??! I don't want to be demanding, but I demand to know! I really want to meet Nora and Tom!
java, Nora said they'll be at Toronado for drinks by 5 or so, and they'll stay until they have to leave for their dinner reservation at 8. I think that means you'll miss them, sadly.
