Question Boston Summer GTG Anyone?

Would anyone from the MA, CT, RI, NH, etc. area be interested in a get together in the Boston area?

If we do it a Sunday morning we could probably do it somewhere in Brookline.

or maybe in a parking lot at one of the malls on the Framingham/Natick (Rt.9) stretch?
say Ben and Jerry's or Starbucks?

I'm up for it.

Last summer I went to a "show" at UConn to meet someone from the forum, and when I got there, it was full of typical American collegiate slack-jawed gawkers. The guy from the forum didn't show up until after I left.

Don't let me down!

Wow.. CT... should make it fair and meet up somewhere in the middle. Know a good place just at the border? Maybe RI somewhere?

don't worry.. won't let you down.. and no.. no typical collegiate stuff

Does anyone know a nice coffee house or something in Rhode Island area (Providence area preferably), with a nice open and free parking space?

I would say Bad *** Coffee in Cranston, but the last time i went it seemed closed.

There is a Starbucks in the Garden City plaza, but parking is tight. There is a Starbucks in Warwick, by the Best Buy and Olive Garden, Parking is wide open.

There was a Coffee place in Smithfield??? Called Common Grounds, but like Bad *** it seemed closed last time I drove through.


In downtown Providence, all I can think of is a Deli/Coffee shop at 1 Citizens Plaze, by the train station and Providence Place. I just can't think of the name of the shop. The only problem here is that during the day, it's pay to park, but after hours it's free.

What about we do one in July or early August sometimes. By then hopefully we can get more people to show up.

Also, maybe i'll have my Evo wheels and get rid of the ugly swirls

Ben and Jerry's in Natick/Framingham? parking is really easy in that area. I'll check it out and see what else is availabe..

You guys... sorry to hijack this, but why dont you guys join us in Brooklyn, sure its a little trip, but one of the Coordinators who's working along side me and Tommy, Derrick, is have a huge caravan from Boston with ClubLexus, some of you guys should maybe hop in the caravan and come down to BK, you won't be driving in alone, give it a thought, just wont be the same without some Masachusetts representation! I'll post up more info about this caravan as the date gets closer... for more info, go to the Northeast Meet Part 2 Thread. Cmon guys, we need to outnumber Lexus and BMW!!!

Couldn't agree more Ali. The B&J's ice cream meet last year in Natick/Framingham was something to remember. I'll be in Boston on July 25th for a friend's wedding banquet; that's the only available date I got on my summer calendar so far.

If I didn't blow up my Mazda b2200, I would bring that. Why bring a MB to a MB meet? Maybe I can bring my friend's miata?
