Game night Tuesday, July 29th, 2014 at J.J. Foley's at 21 Kingston St., Boston, MA (please note that there is more than one J. J. Foley's - we are at the one on Kingston St.). Official start time is 6:30PM, but if you're earlier, no biggie. We'll be in the back room. If you're early, claim tables! Bring games if you want, and bring $$$ for Child's Play if you want. It's a bar and grill, so plan accordingly - money for food and drink (if you want any), and appropriate transportation if you're going to drink that much. . .
Please note that this will be Khadour's last time organizing the game night before he moves to Portland, OR. Come on down and have a drink and play a game with him
FaceBook event here.
PAX community calendar event here.
Note that this will now be a monthly gathering on the last Tuesday of each month.

I echo the "flat broke" sentiment. I had a lot of fun that night and thought about setting up a repeat myself, but I need some time to monetarily recover. If this were to happen about a month out, I'd be much more likely to attend.
but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.

Can you tell me a little about this event? I didn't attend the first one but I'm always up for a good game night. From some of the comments I gather this event tends to be expensive?
Why wouldn't you come from Manchester? That's close to where I live and I'll likely attend. If you don't want to drive, look up the Boston Express bus. I know there's one from Nashua and there may be one from Manchester too. It drops off in South Station.
I think things would probably get a little crowded and confused if we had multiple meet-ups in different cities going on in here - it would probably be better to start a different thread for a meetup in your area. I generally post these with the city/area as the first thing in the title, which helps avoid confusion.
Not much to it - we took over the back room at J.J. Foley's, played games, drank drinks, and ate bar food. It's only as expensive as you want it to be - the games are free, but the food and drink definitely aren't. They're not stupid expensive, but they add up if you tend to drink all night . . . on the other hand, if you're wanting to conserve money, some of us have some drinks, which should make us easier to beat by the end of the night! ;-)
Nothing to prevent us from doing one now, and another in a month or so! On the other hand, this is the Internet, and it usually takes a month to get something to happen anyway . . .

The last bus back leaves at 8PM, and I wouldn't have a place to sleep. I also work nights, so I wouldn't be able to go if it were on a Friday night. I'm also trying to save up for a car.
Did you come to the last one? It was straight up ballin'.
We had a lot of people show up to Foley's because I suggested it as an alternative to gaming at the Westin (because honestly we had all weekend to doing that).
It was pretty fun

I should be able to make it more or less whenever, assuming I have some notice

Yeah if I was in NH i would totally, however UT kinda knocks these thoughts out of my mind.

I need a car, though. Leaving before 8 to catch the bus home wouldn't be any fun.

Me: He dun goofed.
Friend: .........What?
Also - What are the general rules about food and spiritus beverages on the gaming tables? One sweeping hand motion and it's bye bye $70 euro-game.

While I personally would welcome the underage, I don't think J.J. Foley's liquor license would welcome you. They may have different rules since they are also a restaurant, but I'm really not up enough on the Boston legal code to say if that would get you a hall pass or not - best to check with them, or somebody else more knowledgeable than I.
As to food & beverage on the table of play, it wasn't too much of an issue last time. Many of the tables in the back room are up against a dividing wall, which make for a convenient place to put drinks while playing. I'd say this can be agreed on at a table-by-table basis on the desires of the owner of the game. Wheaton's Law is, of course, in effect - if the owner doesn't want you drinking or eating greasy food near his/her game, don't be a dick about it.
I put a 7PM start time on the event, since that's about the earliest that I can make it, but I will happily move it up if others will be arriving earlier.
Think that about covers it - see you all next Tuesday!

Don't sweat it, punzie - we'll do another one in a month or so. If you can make it this time, great, but if not, there's always next time . . .
