2016 Magical Mystery Tour (Wed/Thu prePAX FALLOUT adventures)
PAX East 2015 Magical Mystery Tour of Boston!
Twitter: PAX_MMT Follow this to keep track of where we are in real time. Very useful if you want to join up partway through!
Who: You! And me. And other PAX peeps. AKA your future friends.
What: Visit interesting places in and around Boston.
Where: Schedule TBD below.
When: The two days before PAX: Wed 4/20 and Thurs 4/21. Traditionally runs from 9am to 5pm but you don't have to do the whole thing.
Why: See something of Boston other than the convention center and your hotel. And do it with cool people!
How: Boston's public transit. We'll be using the T (subway and buses) to get around. You can by a pass for $19 that will get you unlimited rides for a week. (Better than paying $2.50 per ride!) When we leave the morning meetups, I'll be making sure everyone has a pass.
Schedule:
It's a little loose with the times because I found at south that it's more fun if I'm not constantly watching the clock.
Wednesday:
9-9:30 meet in front of bcec
9:30 off to Bunker hill, uss constitution museum, lunch @ Cheers
3pm Fenway
Thursday:
9-9:30 meet in front of bcec
9:30 off to independence
12pm freedom trail
Followed by lunch at Faneuil hall, common or uss constitution

Since I don't play, tell me what Boston landmarks and places are in Fallout 4. We'll try to hit up as many of the real world versions as we can.
And yeah, bunker hill and fenway play a large part too, as was said above. I don't remember as much in boston common but it's been awhile since I put the game down.
Oh, right, the USS Constitution! and MIT.
But seriously, once you garner some additional info I'll put this up on the event thread.
Thanks!

It won't be too bad if you go in late morning/early afternoon on Wednesday. Since it's a weekday, the area won't be too crazy until closer to game time (5pm or so). I used to work around the corner from Fenway and only the weekend games (and playoffs) would have a serious up-tick in activity that early before a 7pm game.
Wednesday:
Bunker hill, uss constitution museum, lunch @cheers, common or uss constitution
Thursday:
Fort independence, Fenway (noon tour), lunch at Faneuil hall, freedom trail
The constitution museum and actual ship are different things that exist in different places. Depending on our timing, we might be able to go over to the ship after lunch (last tour leaves at 3:30, but I can't find more specific tour times and info)
You'll need to purchase a ticket for the Fenway tour. We'll go to the noon tour on Thursday. This link should take you to the correct place: http://purchase.tickets.com/buy/MLBEventInfo
Edit: recajiggering. Stay tuned...

From their website:
"Constitution is still open to the public on a first-come, first-serve basis during their operating hours. Please be aware that visitors must pass through a security inspection and show federal or state photo identification, such as a driver’s license or passport, before embarking on USS Constitution."
IE, what time for the first stop and gathering location.

Updated op. I guess y'all can know when to meet up.

I hope to swing by the Westin tonight for a bit though after I leave the Made in MA party, so hopefully I can meet a few new faces!
Many thanks to Punzie for another successful tour - those of you continuing on to the Pre-PAX dinner, please have a fantastic time there as well!
