meet-up recap

[anomie666.livejournal.com]

Dear friends of davis_square,

The poll results officially ended at a tie, so as a benevolent dictator, I went ahead and chose Joe Sent Me. We will try to have an event at Redbones in July.

They have agreed to have us there and they will provide us with some appetizers. We don't have a date just yet, but it will probably be sometime around the middle of the month.

Its a very cool bar, friendly people, great beer/ cocktail selection, and they have perhaps the best burgers around (so stay and eat dinner). I'll let you know when I have more info.

The bar is literally just a 5 minute walk from Davis Square on Mass Ave. If you are coming from outside the Davis Square area, its right off the 77 bus line (one stop passed Century Bank).

I love this bar and I think the bar feels the same way about me.

Top 11Davis Square Confessions

[duffless2323.livejournal.com]

It’s a slow, tiresome Monday, so as I approach my 9th year as a Davis Square resident I have some confessions. These are "confessions" because these things make me feel like the bitch I am! My list goes to 11.

Do you have any confessions? Perhaps later in the week I’ll feel perky and refreshed and post my top 11 loves -though it will be hard to think of only 11.

1. I’ve been secretly rooting for Kick Ass Cupcakes to fail, and I’m boggled that they still survive.
2. While I like McIntyre and Moore in theory, I never use them and won’t miss them.
3. I hate Mike’s, its terrible – even with the cheap beer, I don't get the popularity of this institution - I liked it better when they were crappier inside with the old signs.
4. Chipotle has won my burrito bowl dollars, I never would have seen that coming Anna’s! Anna Anna, please forgive me!
5. While I love Deisel, I’m going less and less now that the same 5 crazy people rotate ownership of the good chairs/couches and NEVER leave.
6. I don’t miss Someday Cafe, I liked it in theory, but it was a dirty filth hole.
7. I don’t miss the junkies in front of share group on Dover St (not that all of them were junkies), but I do miss the times they would interact with the Mormons.
8. I really don’t want to see Sacco’s close, but yet I never give them any business, and I was opposed to the Community Connections Center for no other reason than I thought it was a dumb name.
9. As fiercly opposed as I was to CVS opening, I now shop there all the time.
10. I want all bars except Joshua Tree to get a 2am permit!
11. Even though it’s a lame joke I still find it funny that Store 24 is not open 24 hours, and that Bread and Butter Konvience is, but has  a weird name.

Game Night at Davis Square Boloco!

[jodi.livejournal.com]

It's time for another game night at our local Boloco.

what:
Bring your games (board games or strategy games, or card games, or dice games...) and enjoy good food and fun. If you bring your own players, that's fine. If you are looking to meet some new people or find a couple of more people to round out a game of Settlers of Catan, that's fine, too. (You can choose to be as social as you want; this is a very informal gathering and no one will put you on the spot. Most people don't know each other, so one more stranger will not seem so amiss.)

when:
Sunday, April 27th* around 5pm to 10pm (close)
(Feel free to come earlier if you'd like- there is no set starting point and some of those games can get long!)

where:
Boloco, Davis Square (187 Elm Street) Somerville

who:
Everyone is welcome. This is a all-community event and is not limited to Davis_Square readers. Bring you family, friends, roommates, people you meet on the way, etc.

This fun event is growing each time it is held. There are always well-known board games like Scrabble and newer games like Blokus, Fluxx, and other fun things. There is always Settlers of Catan and there are always more games than there are people to play them so don't be afraid to stroll in empty-handed and pull up a chair. The staff of Boloco is great and always makes us feel very welcome.

Can't make it? maybe next month- It's monthly!
Feel free to repost this wherever you think people will be interested.
Hope to see you all there!

*Note! there was some talk at the last game night of April 20th being the next date but it's the 27th! Spread the word!
