All these talks of Gatherings-BOSTON?

[another view]

I'd love to - but - this work stuff gets in the way. Haven't been there in ten years and that was a weekend for a wedding so didn't see much. I had cousins that grew up in Marblehead near Devereaux Beach (spelling close?) and I'd like to go back there to spend some time with a camera.

Brian can't make it either since he already commited to the Chicago gathering. I'm not sure if he realized that until he read this though.

as a teacher, my summer is pretty open. July 24-29 they are hosting the Democratic National Convention and the place will be a zoo. I heard trains from the North Shore will not be going to North Station because the convention is in the Fleet Center. Hotel rooms are probably non-existant at this point too.

I second that - avoid Boston during DNC time. Unless you're coming to protest in front of it, which, as I understand, many are planning to do. - Yaron

Back to school time may be hectic too - esp. in terms of accomodations - Boston being such a college town. - Yaron
