The address for the Riverside Station is 390 Grove St, Newton, MA. It's right off either 90 or 95, wherever you're coming from. (map)

The train ride should be ~30 minutes, and you should probably give 10 minutes for waiting on a train.

You can get off at either Kenmore or Fenway. Either way, it should be pretty easy to follow everyone else toward the ballgame.

Are you planning to come early for tacos? That's at 92 Peterborough St, back behind Fenway toward the Fens. (map)

202. chris p Posted: June 03, 2005 at 11:52 PM (#1380752)

Darren-

you want to take the 95 to the grove street exit (exit 22). that's one exit south of where the mass pike (90) crosses 95. take grove street east and you will see the riverside station. there's plenty of parking there. there should be signs and stuff at the exit.

203. chris p Posted: June 03, 2005 at 11:56 PM (#1380757)

i think you can also get to riverside directly from the mass pike offramp without getting onto 95. there are lots of twisty ramps and stuff, but there are signs.

i don't know much abotu the mass pike--when i've been to riverside it's been from the grove street exit.

204. Biff, Red Sox Jinx Posted: June 04, 2005 at 12:44 AM (#1380813)

You know, I don't really have something distinctive to wear, so I'll just have to go ahead and seek you guys out.

205. chris p Posted: June 04, 2005 at 12:49 AM (#1380821)

don't you have any porcupine tree t-shirts?

206. Biff, Red Sox Jinx Posted: June 04, 2005 at 12:59 AM (#1380827)

Oh, I won't be going to El Pelon Taqueria pre-game. I'm poor enough as it is.

don't you have any porcupine tree t-shirts?

I pretty much wear only monochromatic stuff. I'm boring that way. I'll probably have a black t-shirt, jeans, and a Sox cap. Oh, and even though this picture is from a year and a half ago, I still look the same. So, yeah.

207. chris p Posted: June 04, 2005 at 01:04 AM (#1380829)

biff, you cannot properly prosletyze a band without a t-shirt. go get a porcupine tree t-shirt right and wear it to the game and then we'll be able to find you!

208. Biff, Red Sox Jinx Posted: June 04, 2005 at 01:10 AM (#1380831)

I'M TOO POOR TO BUY A T-SHIRT!

209. chris p Posted: June 04, 2005 at 01:13 AM (#1380834)

steal your parents $$$. DO IT FOR THE PORCUPINES

210. HCO will do anything for smooth music Posted: June 04, 2005 at 01:25 AM (#1380841)

Well, I have no cell phone numbers for any of you (email me if you want mine) but I am planning to find my way to Game On at 5 PM and ask for Mikael's table. I'll be wearing an Abreu/Phillies t-shirt.

211. chris p Posted: June 04, 2005 at 01:31 AM (#1380843)

phil's number is posted upthread somewhere. i think it's a cell.

212. Darren Posted: June 04, 2005 at 09:04 AM (#1380950)

green shirt, plaid shorts, probably a grey fleece pullover, messed up short hair, possible Sox hat.

213. Fly's New Handle Was Too Long, But Clever Posted: June 04, 2005 at 09:43 AM (#1380973)

Given the heat, I've reconsidered the long sleeve pink shirt. I've got jeans and a blue horizontally striped shirt, instead.

214. ellsbury my heart at wounded knee Posted: June 04, 2005 at 10:02 AM (#1380983)

I'll be at Game On a little after 1 wearing a blue Mo Vaughn t shirt

215. The Josecruz Blues (GGC) Posted: June 04, 2005 at 10:19 AM (#1380997)

I'll wear my baseballprimer.com shirt

216. Biff, Red Sox Jinx Posted: June 04, 2005 at 10:24 AM (#1381004)

OK, I guess I'll be wearing a 2004 Red Sox World Series Champions T-shirts. Shouldn't be too many of those around, right?

217. Elevate Phil Coorey Later Posted: June 04, 2005 at 10:30 AM (#1381008)

That is my cell/mobile number. Feel free to call me if there are any problems.

218. Elevate Phil Coorey Later Posted: June 04, 2005 at 10:31 AM (#1381010)

Jillians at 12.45 outside - just confirming. For those with my tickets.

I might be able to meet the others earlier anyway.

219. Biff, Red Sox Jinx Posted: June 04, 2005 at 10:44 AM (#1381019)

Jillians at 12.45 outside - just confirming. For those with my tickets

Yup, and I'm heading out now.

See you all there.

220. ellsbury my heart at wounded knee Posted: June 04, 2005 at 06:50 PM (#1381767)

Well crap, my idiot friend from college just had to stop by. Hope it was a good meet up.

221. The Artist Posted: June 04, 2005 at 10:48 PM (#1382199)

Yeah, sorry about missing out - I just blanked, and one of my best friends here was leaving Boston last night... - was a good time had by all ?

222. Darren Posted: June 04, 2005 at 11:31 PM (#1382273)

just wanted to thank Phil and Mikael for organizing this and everyone else for showing up. Great time, bad game result.

223. The Josecruz Blues (GGC) Posted: June 04, 2005 at 11:45 PM (#1382301)

224. HCO will do anything for smooth music Posted: June 05, 2005 at 12:09 AM (#1382323)

Thanks to everyone who showed up, and especially to Mikael for making it happen.

The songs I was talking about with Fly were "Somebody Rock Me" and "Boulevard of Broken Songs" from the right column on Party Ben's site.

225. Bernal Diaz has an angel on his shoulder. Posted: June 05, 2005 at 12:18 AM (#1382330)

I expect to see some pictures by Monday.

226. Bernal Diaz has an angel on his shoulder. Posted: June 05, 2005 at 12:20 AM (#1382332)

Especially of Phil and his hot wife.

227. Fly's New Handle Was Too Long, But Clever Posted: June 05, 2005 at 12:26 AM (#1382337)

Awesome, thanks Chad.

And thanks to Phil, and Mikael, and everyone else, too. Great time today, even if I got the everloving #### burned out of my face.

228. chris p Posted: June 05, 2005 at 12:29 AM (#1382340)

229. Fly's New Handle Was Too Long, But Clever Posted: June 05, 2005 at 12:32 AM (#1382343)

What time did everyone end up leaving, anyway?

230. chris p Posted: June 05, 2005 at 12:35 AM (#1382350)

me, mikael (who was wasted), and the aussies were ther until about 11:30.

231. Biff, Red Sox Jinx Posted: June 05, 2005 at 12:40 AM (#1382357)

I left at about 8:30. I was really tired for some reason.

232. HCO will do anything for smooth music Posted: June 05, 2005 at 12:41 AM (#1382358)

11:30? And you guys got there ahead of me. That's a lot of drinking and money.

I had 5 pints, which is a lot for me at a bar.

233. chris p Posted: June 05, 2005 at 12:47 AM (#1382367)

i think there were 34 harpoons on the check.

234. Fly's New Handle Was Too Long, But Clever Posted: June 05, 2005 at 01:12 AM (#1382388)

That's it?

235. chris p Posted: June 05, 2005 at 01:31 AM (#1382400)

That's it?

well there were some sam adams and some guiness ... and those shots of jack daniels. 34 was just the harpoon count.

236. chris p Posted: June 05, 2005 at 01:32 AM (#1382401)

and lots and lots of Fosters (you know, Fosters is Australian for Beer!)

237. Mikαεl Posted: June 05, 2005 at 08:04 AM (#1382452)

Hey y'all. I had a great time last night. Thanks to all for a good party.

(Wasted? Yeah, a little. Although I'm feeling pretty ok this morning, please remind me in the future not to try to keep up with Australians.)

238. Mikαεl Posted: June 05, 2005 at 08:21 AM (#1382458)

Phil - here are some North End restaurant recommendations, as discussed:

Assaggio, 29 Prince St, nice sit-down place, decorations a little tacky, but very good food (map)

Daily Catch, 323 Hanover St, little hole-in-the-wall, few tables, great seafood (map)

La Summa, 30 Tony DeMarco Way, great traditional Italian, nice place (map)

There are a ton of other good places, but those are some of my favorites.

Hope y'all have a great day (and a better game) today. I had a lot of fun with y'all.

239. Elevate Phil Coorey Later Posted: June 05, 2005 at 07:31 PM (#1383499)

Had a great time yesterday as well. Shame we lost, the game was there for the taking.

240. Darren Posted: June 05, 2005 at 11:09 PM (#1384009)

Has anyone seen or heard from Embree since that game?

Phil, where are you off to next, Chicago right? When are you heading there? Be sure to thank Lu again for me.

241. Elevate Phil Coorey Later Posted: June 05, 2005 at 11:47 PM (#1384072)

Has anyone seen or heard from Embree since that game?

I didn't see him in the bullpen...

Phil, where are you off to next, Chicago right? When are you heading there? Be sure to thank Lu again for me.

We head to St Louis early morning tomorrow for three nights before we head to Chicago.

Lu said no problems and was glad to meet you all.
