Like games? Like booze (or not - that's fine too)? Like congregating with your fellow nerds and playing games while consuming booze (or other non-booze beverage)? Over 21? Then do I have an event for YOU!
That's right - in the finest tradition of last year's pre-pre-PAX East Tuesday night gaming gathering (as well as the monthly Boston-area gatherings), we will once again be getting together at J. J. Foley's (21 Kingston St. location - there are 2 locations, so make sure you go to the Kingston St. one, or you'll be a sad panda) to play games, drink booze, socialize, and nom. Juju will be talking to Papa Foley to reserve the back room for us, so there should be plenty of room to game in. Start time is 6:30, but if you get there earlier, nobody will shoot you for it. Just go to the back room, look for your fellow gamers, and start playing something. If you don't see any of them, then grab a drink and wait - we'll be there soon enough. Bring games if you want - if not, others most certainly will, so there will be no shortage of things to play. There will also probably be some handheld gaming going on, so bring your DS/PSP/Whatever if you want to play. I'll be taking game requests, and will try to bring the games that people want to play, so if there's anything you'd especially enjoy playing with your fellow PAXers, let me know below. Also, bring $$$ to purchase your drinks/food with, and perhaps some extra to donate to Child's Play.
Also, if you plan on attending, please post a reply, so we can get a rough headcount to give to Papa Foley. Feel free to request games when you do.
TL;DR:
* Who: You and your closest gaming friends, if you (and they) are over 21.
* Where: J.J. Foley's at 21 Kingston St.
* When: Tuesday, April 3rd, 2012, 6:30PM
* What: Gaming. And drinking, if you're into that sort of thing.
* Why: Because we can. Oh, and it was a lot of fun last year. And every month since.
Notes:
* The 21 age limit is because this is a bar - they WILL card at the door, so make sure you have the appropriate ID
* They have decent pub food there, but it does cost money (as do the drinks) - plan accordingly
* As much as your fellow gamers love you, we don't want to have to carry you home, hold your hair back while you yarf, or read about you as a statistic the next day, so plan accordingly - don't drink TOO much, and make sure you have transportation plans to get back to wherever you're staying.
* Reply if you're coming for headcount purposes.

Also, that said: I have a class that night, so unless you don't mind me showing up at 10:00 PM, I can't make it
the student factor can also determine which places are going to be picky about ids. if it's a bar frequented by college kids, they're likely to be harder on you; someplace where the crowd's a little older shouldn't be a problem. not sure where jj's falls.
Most places do, but JJ Foley's doesn't. They might ask for a credit card backup but in the entire time I've been a regular there (almost 5 years now?) I've never seen it happen. Then again, they haven't carded me in that many amount of years, either... :P
Massachusetts has funky alcohol ID laws, and a lot of bars (mainly the ones where there are a lot of students frequenting, like in Back Bay or Faneuil Hall areas) adhere to them or risk losing their liquor licenses. The real law is that only Massachusetts DLs, Massachusetts Liquor IDs (special state IDs for out-of-state DLs), military IDs, and Passports are acceptable and they can deny entry for even things like Massachusetts state IDs without the phrase "Liquor ID" on them. Obviously, this is not a sustainable business model, so many will accept a backup ID, like a school or work ID, or sometimes even a credit card. It's silly, and I don't make the rules, but I have to follow them. I have an out of state driver's license (New Jersey) so for things involving drinking in Massachusetts I bring my passport just in case.

I never finish anyth
One or two weeks.
Since it's a Tuesday before Easter, I doubt it'll be a problem.
I'll check in with him next time I'm downtown.
