I just happen to have direx online to the Commonwealth Brewery:

	Once in the vicinity of the Boston Garden, look for the Pussycat Cinema
	across the stree from the Garden, to the right, and it's a short walk 
	up Merrimac Street.  Here's a map:

Though the Cambridge Brewery has *superior* brew IMHO, direx I happen
to have online for Commonwealth Brewery are attached.  I also made a
stab at direx to Cambridge BC.

/Ken

Cambridge Brewery is sort of like this:



				/ small "plaza", Cambridge BC is tucked in back
			    \  /		 in a corner
			     \/
                            FORK (about 1/2 - 1 mile? from bridge staying at all
			     ||   times to the right)
			     ||
		     Kendall || Square 
			     ||
=============================||====================== Memorial Drive
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~||~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  Charles River     BOSTON
=============================||===================== Storrow Drive

			Bridge where the T crosses, 
			signs to KENDALL SQUARE


Commonwealth Brewery:

	stout, porter, Boston's Best Burton Bitter Ale (my favorite), Amber	
	Ale, just plane light Ale, and specialty brews like Celtic Ale (very 
	strong,	served warm in a small glass), plus some others occasionally.
	
	A quick map follows for either place... Look for a cinema
	across from the Garden, to the right, and it's a short walk up Merrimac
	Street.

    Hill Street Cafe is 180 Madison Ave.  (FYI: Madison Ave. is Route 20.)
    The arena is on Pearl St. (at least one side of it anyway).
    
    If my memory is okay..
    
    From Hill St., you would walk 3 blocks down the hill (Madison Ave), 
    and then go left on Pearl St. for about 2 blocks and you should
    hit the arena.
         
    So, to find Hill St... walk around the arena until you're on Pearl
    St., and then do all that backwards. :^)  In case my memory sucks
    (always a possibility :^).. the phone number of the bar is
    518-462-3544.
    
    I'll stop by on Sunday.  Saturday, I'll try to hit the Seva booth
    during break.
    
    See you all there!

My friend Jim and I will be going.  Never been to the Club Casino. 
Hopefully it's not too big.  I want to get spit (spat?) on!

adam

    club casino is actually very intimate
    bring your golashes and raincoat

    adam -
    	The Casino is definitely small enuff to be in spitting distance as
    long as ya get in there early enuff to get a decent table. Nice place
    to see a concert for sure. Will we see ya at The Old Salt?
    
    
    							 -Jeff
    

    Ouch!!! Notes collision - hope you're ok Chris!! ;^)

	Lisa and Phyllis are already making plans to meet up
	and camp at the SPAC show...and would like folks from
	here to consider meeting up there as well...

	Debess

    dc has asked where we are all meeting friday night..
    how does the beer tent left hand side top of the lawn a la Furthur spot
    sound once again say 5 or 6??
    
    or the ticket booths?

                                          
    What time does the show start????
    
    8:00 would probably be more reasonable if the show starts at 7:00.
    
    Also, we could meet in the lot at 5:30...perhaps somewhere around 
    the entrance?

    I propose a combination of the two. In the lot beforehand with
    at least 1/2 hr to spare, hopefully more, and then at the beer
    stand between acts.  I want to catch the openers this time (God
    Street Wine)

    Tom

    >I want to catch the openers this time (God Street Wine)

	is that who's opening?!?  alright - finally get to hear 'em!

	Debess

    
    So after GSW and before Allmans, at the beer tent?

    
    mmmmmm
    beer

    
    What time does the show start there killah?

    7 o'clock i thought

    
    Yeah, then let's meet at the beer stand right after GSW.

    ok
    meeting place 1
    lkg parking lot at 330
    
    meeting place 2
    ticket booth at 5-530
    
    meeting place 3
    beer tent up on the left side of the lawn (facing the lawn)
    in between artists
    
    any more necessary? :^)

    What color socks will you be wearing?

    one blue
    one yellow
    
    and a nylon over my head

    i.e. the usual ;-)  Yikes!

    >and a nylon over my head
    
    aahhhahaaaa  - thanks chris i needed that 
    
    

    
    Debess and I will are shooting to meet up with folks at lkg
    parking lot by 3:30... leaving zko at 3ish.
    
    

    so where does everyone want to meet at UNH?
    and when are the ETA's?
    
    
    i myself am at the mercy of VW service in manchester as to whether i
    head home to get my car or directly to UNH after the Sox game

	I'd like to meet up with folks tomorrow - who's going besides
	Cath and Chris?  /bruce?  

	this is all tentative on my part, because Guntis went to CT
	today to see his parents and I don't know when he'll return.
	But, my plans are to leave home around 4:30 - and that means
	arriving in Durham around 6:00.  But then what?  I have no
	idea what the town is like or where to meet up there.  
	Anyone have a suggestion?

	Debess

    debess
    there are 3 bars in the town....Mike Libby's, Benjamins and the Wildcat
    which is actually a pizza shop.....
    
    If i do get over there in my own car it will be about the same time....
    maybe we can meet at the Licker Store (coffee and yogurt shop) on Main
    Street....right dead smack in the middle....
    (say hi to Sully if he is working! :^)

    <---------
    it is most obvious where daveb wants to meet up
    :^)
    
    

	alright - we'll look around for you on Main St I guess.
	one of those bars or the Licker Store (that's the real
	name?)

	Debess

    yup
    
    the licker store
    mike libby's is 3 doors up across the street (heading towards 108) and
    benjamin's is on the first street on the right (one block down from the
    licker store)
    
    bag the wildcat...no sense going there

    I probably  won't get to  Durham much before 7ish...
    
    I've only been there once, about 3 years ago, so I'll be lucky
    just to find a place to park before the show...
    
    So if you see me driving around in a daze (or other small car),
    please flag me down!
