Board games?

I remember a while back people used to meetup and play board games at Boloco.

Do these meetups still happen?

Well, if they do, they're not at the Boloco in Davis (it closed in July). I would be interested in finding out where it is now, if it is still going.

sadly, not that I know if, which is a shame, because I enjoyed the ones I got to.

The D_S ones (once a month on Sundays, IIRC) have sort of disappeared. I was talking to someone this very weekend about trying to re-start them, perhaps at the replacement for Boloco, which is the Ripe Tomato, or red Tomato or something...

The Meetup.com ones (every other week on Wednesdays) moved to some random room on campus at MIT. But I havent been since them moved because getting to MIT on a Wednesday night isn't worth it for me...

these games nights were organized by me.
let's bring them back...

The single biggest thing:
Would Green Tomato be amenable to this? I've never eaten there. I went to Boloco a lot so I knew the atmosphere and the management of Boloco actively encouraged game nights (and would even offer plate or chips and salsa or sometimes bake us free mini-cookies to pass around). Would Green Tomato think we were a good thing if we plunked down at their tables for four or five hours?

Another thing:
The hours of green Tomato have them closing a little earlier at 8pm so this would be more of an afternoon thing. like 2-3 pm to close. Is that a big problem? It is a Sunday, after all, so people wouldn't be staying out late on a schoolnight if they have office jobs or the like.

How about the First Sunday of Each Month?

Wednesday evenings are "Board game night" in the downstairs event area at Pandemonium Books and Games in Central Square. See http://www.pandemoniumbooks.com/. If you join/post in their forum, you might be able to get more people. They have a goodly selection of store-games, or bring a game of your own to play.
