Oh-oh, BOSTON, you're my home!

I'm coming home!

At least, I'm coming back to Boston! For a week. I know, it's not much, but... OH MY CITY!!! *bounces gleefully*

I shall be arriving in Boston on the morning of the 8th of August (Saturday, for those of you without calendars within easy reach). That afternoon, I shall be hanging out with kriken and her boyfriend, as well as tsuj , maybe 43duckies if I can reach her, and possibly jelliclekat and a friend of hers. I know lizardspots will be in town already, but will probably be hanging out with nqdonne that day, unless you two want to join us for lunch in Chinatown before going off to do your own thing.

kriken has offered to pick me up from the airport (OMG THANK YOU), but my idea is that a bunch of us could get together for lunch in Chinatown that afternoon. Of those people within striking distance of Boston, who would be interested in a fandomish lunch?

Also, the following Friday (the 14th), I'd like to organize a proper fandom get-together for lizardspots before she returns to England. Does anyone have any thoughts, preferences, suggestions, ideas, or input for such a get-together? Would we all like to see the HBP movie together? What do you think?

While I'm in the city, I'll be staying in Brookline, but I'll be hopping from Boston to New Hampshire a couple of times during that week.

So, who would like to meet up on Saturday, the 8th?   What about Friday the 14th?  What would you like to do?
