I'm experiencing that weird feeling I get every year where I'm kind of sad I'm not going to be at East but also I remember that conventions are really hit or miss on whether I actually enjoy them. I do kind of miss Enforcing, but I know like one person who's still active from when I was doing it these days.
Hrm.
Maybe next year I should just re-activate my Enforcer status and do it and see what happens.

Rather than The Asgard may I suggest the vastly superior Meadhall, which is in the same part of Cambridge?
Personally I'd go to Whiskey Priest, it's much closer to the venue and it's very solid.
I think you might be misunderstanding the reason people go to the Asgard.
I must be! I went there once and we left within 20 minutes because the service was garbage and we were bored, does it have secret strippers that come out later or something.

I'm struggling to understand why you'd go to a mediocre bar when you're in Cambridge and/or Boston, both of which are chock-a-block with excellent bars.
Hey if any of you don't play dropmix but see the Harmonix booth, their giving away free promo cards add you best friend bucketman would absolutely toss someone a few bucks for them

Mediocre is definitely overselling it.
People go to the Asgard because it is an experience. Not a good one, though.
edit: I once ordered food there and they were out of the food. So I ordered a different food and they failed to give me any cutlery. That was actually one of their better days, service-wise.
double edit: don't forget the paper-mache viking paraphernalia everywhere. The Asgard takes "low-rent" to a new, cheaper, probably danker level.
Triple edit: Most of the toilets have ... problems.
The PAX where we walked “a lot”. I think there was still some snow there. Also we were there.
I put “a lot” in quotes because EVERYONE ELSE MUST NEVER WALK MORE THAN A FEW FEET EVERY DAY.
Edit : the spirit walk one. They must’ve found the bar afterwards like some kinda jerks.
I think Nic and I discovered it on our own, two years back, unless a separate group of SE++ers found it in years previous and we didn't know. We brought backup to it the second time we went in a row.

Watching a dude offering free Pop tarts and rice krispy treats to people in line as a way to walk up through the line toward the front and it's kind of genius I can't even get mad.
He's acting like he's just walking around giving people free breakfast as he walks up toward the front of the line and nobody is batting an eye.

Well it's been longer than 2 years since I've been to East, and I am pretty sure I would have remembered a place like that. Well, at least now I have goals.

I was referring to your spirit walk Tonkka, not the death march that one year after the fancy dinner
I dont remember the line going in being this long last year
Then again, I think I cut through most of it by accident last year
I seem to recall the line being really bad in 2016. (Or 15? It was the year after the marathon bombing so the Convention Center Authority had drastically changed their security policy.)

Oh man, NOW I remember that. You were on a journey @Tonkka, a journey to walk all of Boston.
@Cello yeah, we never discovered Asgard. Sounds like it would have been right up my alley.
Nothing. Matters.

You mean you DON’T want a half-available selection of the worst Batman-villain-named drinks made incorrectly?
Hrm.

Oh shit, I have to do this at some point this year.
...this may be my plan for tonight after the Acquisition Inc. panel.

Going tomorrow and sunday
Today I'm at school, which is also super fun. . . I guess

where is this, I wanna stop by and see
There is an exit sign that points at an exterior window
The place is SE++ incarnate

Now I am actually upset that I am not there right now.
I think it was only discovered after the spirit walk PAX.
Spirit walk PAX?
Did y'all see Jay?
Holy shit that was a good show.
My buddy did
