hahah...thanks guys, i sent it to wolfy for possible digest art.  

but ya, i was just sitting in my basement all stoned one night looking at an empty 24 box of Bass and realized it would be a great lot shirt design. then i went to the Bass site to get a graphic and had some photoshop fun...i should prob put my initials on it somewhere just in case the design blows up! hah

Sweet. I knew there would be a beantown date thrown in there somewhere.

Don\'t care if they play upsatirs or downstairs as long as they bring that show back again!!!!

Just checked the site it looks like it\'s upstairs. Hopeully we get some flyers for his show, it will be a rocking good time none the less!

I Can\'t FREAKING wait!!

[Wolfman]

The last show here was quite mighty and stupendous.  And of course, there will be the customary post-show extravaganza at Club Newton aka Wolfman\'s house.  Coming off the 2 Burlington shows the 2 nights before, this show will complete a huge 3-day weekend and my first 3-night run in about 2.5 years.  Don\'t miss it!

Cant wait to check this place out.  How is the parking situation up there?  I had a horrible time trying to park when they played @ Harpers Ferry.

Just what I wanted to read in this thread.

Going to be off the hook.

The parking is like anywhere else in the area; it\'s a royal pain in the ass. Don\'t expect to find a street spot unless you show up exceedingly early or if you have the patience of a saint. Just spend $10 and park in a lot or garage- it\'s really worth avoiding the hassle. Or you can walk for 20 minutes to the venue; I don\'t care.  The one nice thing is this is about the easiest place in Cambridge to find. I am terrible at driving in Boston, despite having grown up in Massachusetts, and I have never once made a wrong turn getting there. It\'s pretty hard to get lost, which, coming from a directionally impaired girl, means something.

I can\'t wait for this night.

Thanks Wolf!!!! This run is going to be completely OFF THE HOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I usually don\'t do so good getting around in cities....put me in the middle of the woods and I\'ll find anything!!...and (knock on wood) I\'ve never gotten lost going to Middle East. (now I\'ve fucked myself) We got lucky last time and scored a spot on the street one block north of the venue :thumbsup: "Just gotta poke around"

[Me!]

def excited for this one.... should be a ridiculous run!!

[antbach]

to rid yourself of parking nightmares/costs, take a train in, party at seth\'s until dawn, and catch a train back

[Wolfman]

Parking: If you show up to the area after 8PM your chances of a street spot are low.  However, there are 2 nearby and reasonably priced parking lots.  (This is better than Harper\'s Ferry, where you have absolutely no chance at anything.)  

The closest and cheapest lot is outdoors.  If you\'re coming from the Mass Pike, you will be heading down Western Ave into Cambridge.  Your directions will tell you to turn right on Mass Ave for the Middle East.  Instead, go straight across Mass Ave and make your first right.  You will now be driving along behind all the stores on Mass Ave.  There is a lot here behind a small grocery store, only 2 minute walk to the club.  The other lot is a hotel parking garage.  If you go right on Mass Ave and go past the Middle East you will see it on your right.
