I went on a cruise a few years ago and bought all rum and beer on the islands and had to sneak it back onto the ship.  Cruise ships love to monopolize alcohol on the ship (where else can you get it other than the bars on board?).  I remember hearing people say that they had alcohol charges in excess of $1000 for the week.  It must be those stupid drink specials they peddle in an empty pineapple shell.

Hope you all enjoy the Middle East.  I wish I could tune into the show from my plane.  I will bring some Breakfast to CA for the weekend.

Well you could actually drink quite cheaply on the boat if you wanted to. A friend bought a bottle of Ketel one and a bottle of Tanqueray for a smashing total of $30.... Duty Free shop!

I myself was stupid and drank microbrews and expensive mixed drinks the whole time. However, it\'s really not THAT bad considering all the food is free. I think I gained a coupla pounds- 24 hr free pizzeria = bad news.

I have a question for those of you how live in Boston (as opposed to the burbs) according to the T-site the T stops running at 12:30am, but there is somesort of bus service along the lines from 2:30-3:30am.

My questions are:
What are the chances the show will be over by the time the trains stop?
Second, the MiddleEast says its closest T-stop is Center Square, but the nearest bus stop is Harvard Square...what is the realative distance between those to stops?

Is anyone else taking public transit?

the show won\'t be over til after the T stops running.  Trust me, I had to walk from the Avalon to Brighton after the Biscuits show on the 28th, it was not fun.

FYI, as far as venues to drive to in the Boston metropolitan area, the Middle East is one of, if not the, easiest. Right over the bridge into Cambridge. Parking\'s not bad and if you can\'t find a spot there is a garage right there that is not expensive.

I was thinking more of the ease of hoping the red-line in from alwife, but will consider parking if it is the easier option.

What are the basic directions to parking coming east-bound on the pike?

I *think* this is right. You may want to double check because I come off of 93 southbound.

Off I-90, I think you want to take the Cambridge exit and head towards Central Square (Cambridge.) (The exit might also be for Brighton? If my memory serves me right... When I lived in MA I went off of the pike. It def. says Cambridge though.)

Then you\'re going to go over the river (via the bridge) and take River St which takes you to Central Sq.

Turn right onto Mass Ave.

The venue should be shortly after you turn on to Mass Ave. I believe the parking garage is just before it, possibly on the right. There are signs for parking that point you towards the garage.

Oh, the river you cross over is the Charles. Obviously.

At the last minute, looking frazzled from rushing and concerned that I missed everything. But finding that I indeed have enough time to down a few beers before burning holes in the soles of my shoes.

Couldn\'t have said it better myself.  So many times I\'ve rushed to get to the Living Room at about 11:30, only to find out the band doesn\'t end up starting \'til 12, and I gotta deal w/ the last 15 minutes of the opening band consisting of 4 high school kids who\'ve played together a half a dozen or so times.  Nothing ever changes....
