Boston Geek Tea Party 2
A notebook entry published on August 31, 2004
The last one was a success, so Ethan and I thought it was time to organize another web standards, geek, tea lovers gathering once again in Boston.
This Thursday, September 2nd at 7:00pm (coincidentally International Web Standards Meetup Day) at the Cassava Lounge on Boylston St. (see Sidesh0w for all the details. DEE-tails or duh-TAILS?).
Plenty of boba tea will be available, as well as (hopefully) interesting conversation on all things web, design, code and perhaps other things. Hope to see you there.

Wish I could be there… last one was great. Trying to get a Web Standards Meetup started in Southern CT.

Sounds really interesting, and it’s pretty close to where I live. Too bad I’m only 14…

Great stuff, I’ll bring my herd of designers and other markup monkeys.
Looking forward to meeting some other standards-savvy folks, esp since you don’t get many in South Africa :D

There is an age limit to a bubble tea place? Hehehe. Unless it is more than that. ^_^

Seems like a small place… and I’m… well…. a big guy. I get claustrophobic in a place like that.

Too bad that I live in Holland. And besides, I don’t know the way there ;)

Looks like fun. I will make the trip across the River from Cambridge! Dan, will you have any copies of your book there?

That’s wild: I had no idea Web Standards Meetup Day existed, but as fate would have it I happen to be meeting up with one Faruk Ates on Thursday to discuss the web and other things. He happened to be in town (Minneapolis) from the Netherlands visiting some friends.
Crazy world…

web - too bad you can’t make it, but next time I hope. Microsoft is of course welcomed to attend — I hope they like bubble tea :-)
Also for those that can’t make it — no worries, I think the idea is to make this a casual, but semi-regular thing. There’ll always be next time.

I’d love to be there…but I’m bogged down with schoolwork and cross-country practice. Hope it goes well for you guys.

I think I’ll be able to come. I hope I can find parking - driving and parking in Boston proper != fun.

Jennifer,
You can park at the Prudential Mall if need be .. its only a few blocks away.

i tried to get down there but got stuck in traffic before not finding any parking and leaving with minor discouragement 1.5 hours later.
how was it?

Ah, I wish I’d seen this entry (I’ve been too busy with work to follow many sites). Guess I’ll just have to keep an eye out for the next one!

By the look of http://www.cassavalounge.com/controller.php?p=3
It doesn’t seem to be much room for more than 8-10 people. Am I wrong?
