PAX East Magical Mystery Tour 2011 [schedule posted]

That being said, it would be quite a stretch to make it to BU for the star-gazing, but we'll see about it. :wink:
I figure it would be rude not too after convincing Kev to join in.

PAX Prime '09 - H1N(erd)1 Survivor - Never Forget (Your Hand Sanitizer)
I'm sorry I missed this question! Yes, you will need to sign up for the pre-PAX Breakfast, pre-PAX Dinner, and PokeCrawl separately. Signing up for the pre-PAX Fried Food Extravaganza is not necessary. There is no signing up to do for Wednesday's foods.
If you plan on attending and you are not on the attendees list and/or did not get a PM from me, speak up!
I never finish anyth

I've written up a list of suggested items to bring with you on the tour. Most are optional, but the last one is not! Here it is for your reading pleasure:
Good Shoes - You want shoes that are preferably comfortable and have good tread. We will be walking up and down stairs to the subway, between the T stations and our destinations, and around various sites (museums, MIT campus, etc). Boston is covered in snow right now so we may have to walk over snow, slush, ice, water, etc. Boots are suggested.
Winter Wear and Layers - Again, Boston is covered in snow. It's winter. It's cold. Coats, hats, scarves, gloves, etc might be of interest to you. However, most of our destinations are inside and heated. And many of the subway stations can be quite warm. For this reason, layers are your friend.
Cash Monies - Plastic can work, but there's always a chance it won't. Cash will work even if the machines aren't working. It's also sometimes faster. Having small bills is a good idea for tipping tour guides, waiters, and the like.
Phone - You know, in case you get lost. Or hurt. Or you miss your best friend and need to hear his voice.
My Phone # - Did you get my PM? Write down my number, put it in your phone, somehow make sure you have it.
Water and Snacks - Our time is tightly budgeted. While lunch is worked into the schedule everyday, there won't be time to stop at convenience stores/coffee shops/what-have-you. If you think you may want a snack or drink, bring it with you.
Bag - Bags are handy for carrying stuff. Whether you need a place to stash your snacks, store your extra layers when you get warm, cart around your favorite game, or carry souvenirs and toys you buy, a bag is a good idea.
Cards - Did you make trading cards for PAX? This is a good time to get in some early trading of said cards. If you didn't make trading cards, you can still bring business cards or some other sort of info cards to give out to those cool new people you just met and want to stay in contact with later.
Schedule - It could be handy to have a copy with you. The MMT trading cards have an abbreviated version of the schedule on the back, so if you show up to the morning meeting (either day), you'll have that one.
Charlie Card/Weekly Pass - We'll be riding the subway A LOT. It will save you some money if have either a standard Charlie Card ($1.70 per ride instead of $2) or a weekly pass ($15, unlimited rides for a week). Both are available at subway stations. (More info here: http://mbta.com/fares_and_passes/subway/) At the morning meetings, I'll be helping everyone acquire one if they haven't already.
Boston City Pass - Buying this could save you a little money if you plan on going to the Aquarium, Museum of Science, and Harvard/Peabody Museums. It's not a big savings ($52 vs $46), but money is money. You can order one online (http://www.citypass.com/boston ) or at the Harvard and Peabody Museums when we go there on Wednesday. (You'll probably save time by buying it ahead of time.) If you don't go to all 3 of places, you will lose money by buying the pass.
Pens and Other Small Items - General things that can come in handy: pens, paper clips, bobby pins, floss, duct tape. Stuff can go wrong. And you can play MacGuyver and fix it.
A Good Attitude - We're spending a day or 2 together. Play nice: Don't complain about things I can't fix (the walk/cold/snow/late train). Don't start fights. Don't feed the animals. Don't be a dick.
edit: I added the closest T stop to each location on the schedule in the OP (color of text denotes which line it is).
I need to add a +1 to mine; same contact info though
I have Emod listed. Is this another +1?
Yep, we have another friend, Ronn, joining the fray

But people are interested. People voted and it got the most votes. That's all there is to it. If anyone doesn't want to go there, they can meet up with us at the next stop. If people don't like it, they'll be able to share that info next year.
I keep meaning to bring this up: It seems likely that many of you attending on Wednesday might be in the city on Tuesday night. If so, this meet-up may interest you: http://forums.penny-arcade.com/showthread.php?t=137332
