I got to meet ThomCat!

[MissMillie]

What a charming and fun gentleman he is! I thoroughly enjoyed our 3 days together, and I'm so sorry more of you could not join us.

We had a lovely dinner in the North End on Sunday evening, and then took a ride to Harvard Square for latte. On Monday we spent most of the day at the Museum of Fine Arts and then met up w/ notmyprez for drinks and munchies. On Tuesday before he left I brought him to the campus where I work.



Anyway, here are some pictures:

1. Cool pictures!

Looks like you guys had a lot of fun! ThomCat is such a sweetie. I enjoyed meeting him at LynneSin's earlier this year.
Thanks for posting...:hi:

2. Sounds like fun!

Where is the Sunset Grill? I lived in Cambridge for many years, but things have changed a lot since I left.

[MissMillie]

3. it's in Allston

it's got an 8 page beer menu

14. Sunset Grill used to have really good food too.

Crap. One more reason why I wished that I still lived in Boston -- I would have met the Thomcat!

Looks like you had a great time.

4. I love that man...

He's kind, funny, stubborn and one of the strongest people I've ever met.

I'm so glad you finally got to meet him Millie. He couldn't stop complimenting you when I talked to him over the weekend. :hug:

He says you're a keeper. :)

[MissMillie]

8. that's probably the sweetest thing anyone has ever said about me

and I doubt I can say enough nice thing about him to do him justice.

I'm honored... oh hell, I'm LUCKY to call him my friend. (Then again, that's true of most of my friends, present company included!!!)

[lizziegrace]

9. ...

:hug:

He's not easily impressed. :P

I've known all along you're special. I'm glad Thomcat got to see that as well.

[raccoon]

[DarkTirade]

12. I'm jealous.

:)

[ThomCat]

18. Next time I go, come and join us.

I'm always willing to share a hotel room. I'm a good roommate. :)

[TZ]

20. And a great breakfast companion...:)

I'm glad you had a good time Thom and I'm jealous of the Boston people..I'm clearly going to have to visit you in NY one of these days...:loveya:

[MissMillie]

21. I'm hoping to go for New Year

it'd be great to meet you

[DarkTirade]

22. I wouldn't want to keep you up all night...

:P

[ThomCat]

13. My dear MissMillie!

How wonderful you all connected!

Those are great pics!

I was so lucky to meet him as well, when my husband and I were on our way to Europe last year!

He and MAHNY came out to our hotel for lunch...we had a blast! Or maybe it was dinner; I forget!

He is one great guy, and we both enjoyed his company...

Thanks for sharing those wonderful pics!

:hug:

[LadyoftheRabbits]

15. That looks like it was so much fun...

I wish I could have been there. :D :bounce:

[ThomCat]

16. Yay! Good Pictures!

I wish we had more of them. I wish my hands would stop shaking so I could take some, and you could be in more of them. :hug:

I'll definitely have to come back to Boston. Next time I think we just have to inform people that we're meeting at their homes, someone different each day, so that they can make it to the meetup. :P

You are an incredible friend and person. I am so glad I got to spend several days hanging out with you. :loveya:

[MissMillie]

19. the pleasure was mine!!!

you're such a great person, and I envy you in more ways than you know. You're forever in my heart.

[Kat45]

23. Me too! Me too!

I also got to meet ThomCat--and see Miss Millie, who I had met long ago at a DU meetup at the People's Republik. Good people. I was only able to make it to the Sunset Grille but I'm glad I did.

Earlier in the day, a guy had given me an "Impeach Bush & Cheney" pin, which I'm wearing in the pictures, and as soon as that happened I knew it was a 'sign' that I had to make sure I got to the bar to meet the DUers. I'd say a good time--and good beer--was had by all. :-)

[ThomCat]

28. Hi Notmyprez!

:hi:

Next time we'll hopefully have more people there, and even more fun and beer will be had by all. :)

[DS1]

24. I really had thought he was up here visiting a few people he already knew

otherwise I would have definitely planned a trip down from Northshore and hung out.

Thom, try this in the future:

I'm going to be in the Boston area (insert weekend) come south/north/west and visit me you bastards!

[ThomCat]

29. I promise. Next time I'll make sure everyone gets

personal PMs saying exactly that. :)

[arcadian]

25. This is one of my favorite paintings,

It's hanging in the Museum of Fine Art in Boston.

[ThomCat]

30. We saw that one.

It isn't one of my favorites. But we each like different art. :)

The collection there was really wonderful. I'm very glad we spent some time there.
