[raises hand]
I am new to the MMM world (found the blog & forum via Frugal Dad last week). I'm intrigued by what I'm reading and think it'd be fun to get together with others in the Boston area...
-
I would be interested as well!
-
I'd be interested.
-
I'm not opposed to the idea.
-
Also interested!
Although it is not perfectly Mustachian, perhaps we should first plan to catch a drink at a local bar. Cambridge Brewing Company in Cambridge is a favorite of mine (cambrew.com). Once we are better acquainted, maybe we could host in-home.
-
I'd definitely be interested as well.
-
So shall we pick a date? CBC sounds good to me...where it'll be easy for me to be Mustachian! (I'm 7 months pregnant so will be sticking to the water-like beverages on tap.) :)
-
I like the idea of starting off with an easy, informal gathering, sooner rather than later to get the ball rolling. How about CBC this Saturday, 3/3, at 3pm until whenever? Later today, I'll PM my phone number to everyone who's responded to this thread. I will also post it over on the ERE forum.
Maybe later, bicycle or I can host a bigger gathering with Doodle poll scheduling and all that. If you can't make it this time, we can try to schedule around you for next time.
-
Count me in, I'm interested!
-
I'll try to make it!
-
I'll try to make it as well!
-
I thought I would make it but now I can't - definitely next time!
(I tried to post this in the personal messages but I'm not familiar with how they work and couldn't see my sent ones so I'm posting this here as well!)
-
Wondering if the first Boston-area meet up happened? If so, how was it? I'm in western MA so would love to get in on the next get together if there is one!
-
Five of us met for a couple of hours over beers, and it was a good time. Now is a fine time for another meet-up. I'll put together a plan in the next couple days. If you haven't already replied above, please put a post here to let me know you're interested. I'll give details by personal message.
-
Sounds great! I'm in.
-
Me too!
-
think I can make this one.
-
Sounds great!
-
I'm 6 days away from my due date so we'll probably miss the next one. It was fun to meet folks last time - keep me posted of future meet-ups! :)

You know, it's times like these that you realize how unfortunate it is that Boston's smoke free...
-
The next meetup is a potluck on Saturday, June 2 from 4-7pm. Please PM me for details.

Reminder: If you're in the Boston area, and you're free this Saturday, come to our meet-up. Send me a message for details.
-
I'll be in the Boston area for a couple weeks in June, but it looks like I'll miss out on this one.
-
I'm not entirely sure what I'm bringing, but it'll be gluten-free.
-
Sadly I'm missing this one too... I'll make it one of these days!
-
I had a great time! Thanks for hosting, velocistar.
-
velocistar237 is a great host! My family all had a great time.
-
Burlington (MA) area. Might be interested in joining the next meetup!
-
Hey all, we're new to the MMM world, but the BF and I would love to meet up if you guys are still getting together in Boston regularly!
-
I'd be interested in the next meetup.
-
I'm very interested, and only wished I had checked this forum earlier because it looks like I've already missed some great meetups :)
-

Yep - it's quite quiet here ... Although the Boston metro area members tend to post energetically in the forums!
-
OP is probably somewhat busy (https://forum.mrmoneymustache.com/journals/i-made-it-2-the-dark-fortress!!/msg23998/#msg23998) these days. :)
-
Anyone interested in another meetup? We're willing to host at our north of Boston suburban location that's accessible via public transit (train).
If there's enough interest, then I'll post a few possible dates for selection.
-
Anyone interested in another meetup?
I'd be interested. A mid-afternoon start time would be best for us.
-
Interested as well. Only on weekends, though...

I'm in Somerville. Life is busy but if I am feeling ambitious I'll try to make it to the meetup. I'm mostly posting here to let you folks know I'd be interested in the future.
-
Hi- we're in Somerville, MA and interested in a meetup. Long-time reader, just registered. Can we join you guys?

Thanks for hosting yesterday! That was really fun!
-
Yeah thanks, it was great!
-
Hi everyone! I see I'm not the only one in Somerville. Looks like there was just recently an event; I'm just writing to express interest in another one in the future. Discovered this blog last month and burned through the archives in a couple weeks.
-
Hey all, my wife and I attended the first Boston-area meetup and it was great time, however, we have since relocated to RI.
If anyone is ever in the Providence area, feel free to ping us. We're always up for some fun with like-minded folks!

Jingle jingle ...
Who wants to try and get together the Boston metro crew again?

Great idea!

Who wants to try and get together the Boston metro crew again?
Definitely interested, but won't be able to host this time. May I suggest a picnic in the park (https://maps.google.com/maps?q=Jerry+Jingle+Park,+Lynn+Fells+Parkway,+Stoneham,+Massachusetts,+USA&hl=de&ll=42.457075,-71.083238&spn=0.007916,0.020278&sll=42.456648,-71.083024&sspn=0.003958,0.010139&geocode=FYZGhgIdIqHD-ykjf3S8nXDjiTHV6Vw1DciJ_w%3BFZuShwIdwF7D-ylDAVBU5HPjiTHk6IIMOdYZNg&oq=Jerry+Jingle+Park&dirflg=r&ttype=now&noexp=0&noal=0&sort=def&hq=Jerry+Jingle&hnear=Lynn+Fells+Parkway,+Stoneham,+Massachusetts+02180&t=m&z=16&iwloc=A&layer=c&cbll=42.457069,-71.083231&panoid=ZuTy4x6_g_gby9O50-TgDA&cbp=12,97.16,,0,0.11&start=0) if no one else is able to host?
-
I'm interested. After spending almost a year reading MMM posts, it would be fun to meet like-minded people in RL.
-
Fellow Bostonians and New Englanders - My wife and I hope that you and yours are safe following yesterday's tragic events.
For those of us in the city, it was a startling revelation to see folks who should have been overjoyed - the marathoners and their families, as well as visitors celebrating Patriot's Day - were instead bewildered, heartbroken, and completely disoriented in a city that had just suffered a deep wound.
As a transplanted New Yorker and Washingtonian, I was overwhelmed with the outpouring of heroism and compassion that flowed from our community in a fashion similar to what we witnessed in NYC and DC those years ago. We saw that folks responded immediately - event participants, police, members of the national guard, EMTs - as the chaos ensued: running into the smoke instead of from it. And then we opened our veins and our doors to those who needed it, showing that we're a big town: not a faceless city.
Stay vigilant; stay safe.
-
New to Forum Moustachian interested in summer meeting. Anyone else game?
-
We're willing to host. If someone else wants to, please say so. Otherwise, I'll put up a scheduling poll in a couple of days.
-
Excellent! I've been wanting to organize something, but sadly my place is too small to host more than 3 or 4 people at most. Thanks for offering!
-
Something soon would be awesome ... We're moving into a new place downtown on 20 July, but would be happy to join the local crew sometime after that!
-
We're planning a pot-luck. Please share your availability on this Doodle poll:

Will review and append availability. I have got to meet that avatar ...
-
I found this blog in the last few months and just finished catching up on the articles. I'd love to meet up with some locals. I'm not sure of my availability yet for August though.
-
Thank you for organizing. I just signed up.
-
Hello, I'm new to the forums but I've been a reader for 2-3 months now, I'm excited to actually meet some more people involved in achieving FI, especially ones with more experience.
-
We have a winner: Saturday, August 17 @ 3pm
PM me for location if I don't yet know you're interested. I'll send out notes to the list I have soon enough.
Bring your own item to grill plus one small item to share. Feel free to respond with comments on what you'll bring.
-
Thank you for hosting, Velocistar. I'll bring a salad with greens and whatever's in season at that time. Looking forward to it.
-
I'll be driving over from Davis Square. If you need a ride, just message me here.
-
We're much closer than predicted, too, coming from Cambridge/Northpoint. Do we need hot dogs??!!

I like hot dogs. For what it's worth, I prefer the side-loading style bun.
-
Thanks Velocistar for hosting a fantastic meetup!
-
I missed the last one, but anyone up for a round 2?
-
Tentatively interested
-
That would be great! My apartment is small, though. Would anyone else want to host?
-
I think I could host in Watertown. I'm directly on the 70/70A bus route and about one very walkable mile from Watertown Square where there are other bus connections. There is ample on-street parking in the area. If there is an interest, I will start a 'when2meet' site with some dates and times for people to select from.
-
Excellent! Sounds good, Beardog!
-
That would be great, Beardog!
-
Sounds great! Thanks!
-
Great! I've created a 'when2meet' listing here for people to indicate their availability:
http://www.when2meet.com/?1544646-xpywL
I'd like to try for a weekend afternoon between 1:00 and 4:00. Once we have a critical mass of people signed on,
I will post the date here and PM responders with details. Looking forward to it!
-
Greetings, Boston Moustachians.
It looks like we have a date of March 15, from 1-4 for a get together here in Watertown.
I will PM everyone who has signed up on the weekend before with details.
~ Beardog
-
I'm definitely interested in this! I'm relatively close to Watertown, so the bus route should be doable for me.
Is it gonna be a lunch thing? A pot-luck might be fun.
-
I'd be interested in coming to the event! I RSVP'd on when2meet, not sure if that counts as "signing up" :).

Hello tim_p. I'm planning to provide some modest hors d'oeuvres and beverages and if people want to bring a small snack or drink, that would be great but not necessary. But it's not going to be a lunch thing.
I'd be interested in coming to the event! I RSVP'd on when2meet, not sure if that counts as "signing up" :).
Hello bachi. Please consider yourself 'signed up'. (-:
Which brings me to a little pickle that I find myself in. I don't have a way of knowing who you are if you didn't sign up with a distinctive MMM moniker name or haven't posted a reply here with a name that matches the one you used to sign up on the when2meet link. So Nancy, Tim, Velocistar, PFGal, bachi and Tim - I know who you are. Doing this for the first time, I did not think this part through so I'm going to need to ask the others of you to please PM me so I know who to send my location to.
In the meantime, anyone else who sees this and wants to join us, please sign up on http://www.when2meet.com/?1544646-xpywL and respond to this post or PM me. I will send out my location to everyone next weekend by PM.
Looking forward to meeting you/seeing you again.
-
@Beardog, do you have room for one more? I am relatively new to Badassity but would love to be inspired by you all.
-
Hello Bostongirl,
We most definitely have room for you. I will be in touch with details over the weekend.
~ Beardog
-
Unfort, I don't think I can make that weekend. :( But if things change, I'll let you know.
-
Looking forward to the meetup today.
-
Thank you for hosting, Beardog. And thanks to everyone else that came and shared in the delightful conversation.
A suggestion was made for an outdoor meet-up when it gets warmer, perhaps on Boston Commons.
-
It was great seeing old friends and meeting new folks yesterday! Thanks for hosting Pam!

I'd be up for that. I'm new to the MMM world, so it would be good to meet some other Mustaches.
-
I saw that I just missed the last meet-up - how do people feel about picking a park and picnicking for the next one, now that the weather is improving? Maybe in May since you all got together just a few weeks ago?
Of course, in the US you can't drink in parks, so it couldn't be byob =(.
I would love to get information on the next meet-up. I have made some nice friends since moving to Arlington, but most of them think we're a little insane, especially for biking on Mass Ave or living with fewer bedrooms than we have children. I would love to chat about more Boston area frugal hacks - we're shocked at how expensive many things (like groceries) are here.
I hope everyone is enjoying our spring weather, and I hope to meet some of you soon.
-
A picnic or biking sounds awesome.
-
As someone who can't bike due to disability, I'd vote for a picnic :) Maybe the Arboretum would be nice?
Or if someone has a yard and is willing to host us inside if it rains, that would be even better. Does anyone have a yard?

I can't if we're doing it in May, but we might be able to do it near us sometime if people don't mind being out of the city a bit. Have to figure out when it might work - still settling in from the move. We live about 0.5 miles from Horn Pond in Woburn, so can either picnic at Horn Pond or in our backyard. It's about 1.5 miles from the closest train station.
-
That sounds great! If it's a day I can make it, I can drive 4 others from the Somerville area and/or from the train station.
-
We'd be interested in attending the next meet-up. A picnic sounds like a great idea. Let us know when and where!
-
Any plans on meeting up again?
-
What about the weekend of June 14/15? Can do it at our place if people don't mind blankets on the ground (or bringing their own folding chairs). We haven't really gotten around to getting outdoor furniture yet.
ETA: Here's the most recent photo I have of the backyard, following our mid-April storm. Or we can do it at Horn Pond, as I suggested above, with ours as a rain backup.

I'll check with the DW when she gets back from rock climbing, but I think we'd be down for that. I even know where that is.:)

That works for us! Would love to attend!
-
I could make that :)
-
It looks like June 15 is Fathers Day, so that won't work for us. We could possibly to June 14.
-
That's Pride weekend, so I wouldn't be able to make it (it's like Queer Christmas.) But if you end up doing it another weekend, I'd definitely come!
-
Thanks for the reminder re Father's Day - my family is postponing it this year so I forgot. (We move around certain holidays when needed.) The 14th then? Sorry PFgal, I'm booked up on commitments, so unfortunately I wouldn't be able to host a different weekend until around August, though perhaps someone else can. Or we could meet mid-week after work in the Commons perhaps?
-
I would love to get together at Horn Pond on June 14th. I am a recent reader of MMM and live in Woburn. Please sign me up and let me know what I can bring!
-
June 14 should work for us.
-
Mr. Frugalwoods and I are on board for June 14th!
-
I should be able to make it. I've never been to Horn Pond, but it looks beautiful from the pictures.
-
Great, let's plan for the 14th then!
Just to clarify, the picture was actually from our backyard, not Horn Pond. The two options were:
1. Horn Pond (rain out option our place, close to Horn Pond)
2. Our place
I'll PM everyone by this evening, and maybe get email addresses so we can take the conversation there to pick the best time (noon?) and place.
-
hi! i am a newbie to the MMM community. i live on the north shore in MA and on the central coast in CA. i would LOVE to come to the boston mmm meetup in june!
-

I'll PM everyone by this evening, and maybe get email addresses so we can take the conversation there to pick the best time (noon?) and place.
I would love to come. And depending on what time on the 14th, I may even be able to attend (earlier is better) . Send me a PM if you're still taking input on exact time to meet.
-
I would love to come. If anyone would like to bike there together, I'll be coming from Somerville. I know there are several mustachians in the area.
-
Have we decided on the time for our meetup? The last I remembered was noon. Is this correct?
Im very excited to meet people from the blog and share ideas! Most of my friends/family either make and have lots of money and spend accordingly, or are in tons of debt and still go out to eat regularly. I just found out one of my closest friends is $16,000 dollars in debt while making around 70,000/year! We had just gone out to breakfast, which I had carefully adjusted my budget for, and I was shocked later to hear of her situation.
Can't wait to meet some like minded people.
-
Yes, I'm emailing out later today/tomorrow with more details. Sorry for the delay! I meant to do so this weekend but I got caught up with some other projects.
I had a request for earlier (due to a wedding) and a request for later (due to soccer), so I'm going to suggest we scoot it back to 11:30AM to try to accommodate both sides, but I'll put it in the email so that everyone can discuss it out there if they have additional comments. I'm pretty flexible that day, so I can get there early and stay late to meet everyone.
-
A friend of mine puts together this calendar every year of free/cheap things to do in Boston. It just occurred to me, there's a group of people here who might really appreciate it! So here you go....

-
Thanks for the invitation. We'll be on the Vineyard, though, and unable to attend this meetup.
-
We REALLY want to come on Saturday, but we have (non-mustachian) family visiting from out of state and staying at our house. We still might be able to swing it, but I'm not sure... :( Is it OK if we just show up if we're able to?

Of course! No formal catered affair with a head count here! I envision this as being particularly low key...eat (BYOL), relax, chat, and those who want to stay longer can walk around the pond or go to the playground section with kids, or we can go partway around to a spot where there's more space for frisbee, etc. You have my number, so you can always call or text me to see status too.

-
I've been keeping tabs on the weather and it looks like rain is threatening for our meetup tomorrow. Rain location is my place. We do have a very nice backyard if we guess wrong and it turns out nice, although no outdoor furniture (table/seating) be warned. Will everyone get an email via MMM PM system if I sent out the location (with address, if needed) on Saturday morning around 9:30/10ish, or should we decide today? I'll email to the same smaller set (about 12) I sent it to about a week and a half ago, so if you didn't get that, and want the update, make sure to let me know.
What's your risk tolerance for rain? :)
-
I can't if we're doing it in May, but we might be able to do it near us sometime if people don't mind being out of the city a bit. Have to figure out when it might work - still settling in from the move. We live about 0.5 miles from Horn Pond in Woburn, so can either picnic at Horn Pond or in our backyard.

I can't make it unfortunately - but we are neighbors! I live in Burlington and my husband works in Woburn.
Small world :)
-
My current plans might get rained out, so please email me the address for your place if you plan on being indoors. Thanks! What time?
-
I emailed everyone that we are moving to the rainout location, and with the address. If you did not get the message, let me know.
-
Anyone interested in meeting up after work during the week and hanging out in Boston Commons?
A few people suggested it at the last week-end meet up, since many of us work in Boston or nearby.
Here's a poll with some date options:
http://doodle.com/5sdcbahm3sb5zrdf
-
Sounds like a great idea! I'm away the week of July 7-13 unfortunately though.
-
Sounds great! I filled out the poll. Was so sad to miss the last meet up :(
-
I also responded to the poll.
-
I also was very sorry to miss the last one. Looks like I am mostly available when others are not, but added a few days that work for me.
-
Looks like Friday evening's the best so far. Does that sound good for people, or should we try for a later week?
I was just at the Boston Commons on Saturday, and it was lovely.
-
Hi everyone, I just responded to the poll, if this meetup is happening, I would love to join!
-
I'm back in town now! Did you guys meet, or are you still working on scheduling it?
-

Anyone want to meet up at the Kendall Square roof garden at 4 Cambridge Ct? I've never been so I figured I should. According to yelp, it's open sunrise to sundown 7 days a week and is atop a parking garage. What!?

We'd definitely be up for that! What day/time are you thinking?
-
Yes please, what a neat place for a MMM meet-up picnic! I'm free most evenings, let's pick a date.
-
Cool! I'm free after work this week if that works. Next week we're going away. I can bring a salad if people want to eat.
-
A friend just told me about that the other day and I'd love to check it out! When were you thinking of having the meetup?
-
Here's a poll with times to meet this week or weekend:

How does kayaking or playing lawn games, followed by watching Raiders of the Lost Arc outside at North Point Park in Cambridge Wed Aug. 13th sound?
EF is hosting movie nights on Wednesdays in Boston. I went last night to see Princess Bride and we had a great time. Kayaking and lawn games start at 5:30. Movie starts at 8ish, after it’s dark. They have blankets if you don’t want to bring your own, and you can bring a picnic dinner. I’m happy to give a quick 2 minute kayaking lesson if you want – I used to do whitewater kayaking. More info: https://www.facebook.com/events/251265771749011/
-
That sounds awesome to me! I used to kayak when I was younger, and I've been wanting to all summer (and most of the spring, too).
-
Unfortunately, the EF event is held weather permitting, and it doesn't seem like our weather is cooperating today. :( Even if it stops raining (and my weather widget seems pretty convinced it'll keep on) the ground will be pretty wet for sitting on for a movie, so I think they'll cancel it even if they haven't yet. Bummer, I was really looking forward to it!
-
Hi everyone, sorry to just jump in like this, but I'm a fairly new MMM reader in Taunton recent college grad and I'd love to be able to meetup with some of you guys and share ideas. Hopefully we can get something planned soon.
-
It's been far too long since our last get together! My place is too small to host, but I thought I'd throw out the idea of a winter gathering, in case anyone else wants to offer up their home for hosting. What say you all?
-
I agree, it's been too long! I hosted earlier this year, but my place is in a total state of disarray as I prepare to sell this spring. Furniture is all in a pile in the center of the living room and dining room and the walls are stripped of wallpaper and need to be patched and painted.

Would love to join a meetup! I'd have people over again, but I'm not too central so I'll defer to a more central location suggestion.
On other notes - does anyone want (an unopened box of) tinsel? Fake candle lights for windows? I'm in the throes of decluttering, and I'm pretty sure if we set it out the cat will eat the tinsel (it was from my single days). If anyone wants any kitchen items (wine glasses to rolling pin) let me know as well...
-
Good luck decluttering, CommonCents! I've been doing it too. It isn't easy, but it feels good to get rid of things!
What do the rest of you think about having another meetup?

I'd tunnel through this glacier for a meetup, if folks were interested ;-)

Be great to see people and get out of the house for more than work+commute, but I am not so great about identifying low or no cost winter activities. My ideas involve things like ice skating on the Common (not Frog Pond) which is pretty impossible now with the snow...
-
I'm in! I can't host because my place is too small, though. Does anyone else want to host?
-
I am also in!
My place is decently sized, but is far from the T and has no parking. It's probably not an ideal option, but could work if it's the only.
-
Did this already happen? The esplanade will be a decent option soon.

I'd be down for that. Bikeable, too!
-
Seems too cold for the esplanade just yet. We can host again in the meantime. Fill out this schedule poll using your forum name if you're interested in coming. I'll tally up the results and pick a time in a week or two.

Boston area MMM Meetup
Sunday, April 12, 2pm
PM for details
-
Our meetup is tomorrow, and the weather is looking pretty good. We'll at least throw the windows open, and if we feel like it, we can head to a park for some sun (though I am plenty sunburned from today, oops).
Send me a message if you want to come and haven't gotten directions yet.
-
Oops, missed this (just discovered this thread). Anyway, I will be joining you peeps in future meetups.

Hello Boston!
Just started growing my 'stache and would be interested in participating in future events. I'm living in the Foxboro area.
-
It's almost free entertainment time in the city - all the outdoor movies, concerts and plays you could want! (I just looked and it doesn't appear that the schedules are up yet, but I anticipate they'll start around mid-June or mid-July, depending on the event.)
Until then, how about an MMM gathering?
Monday, June 1 dinner picnic after work in the Common or Park? We had batted this idea about in the fall but I don't think it ever happened.
-
I could do the following week but alas not the week of June 1st. Should use doodle or when2meet?

Are you suggesting more frequent gatherings? Cause that would be neat. The Summer after the Winter.
If so, we could generally drop the scheduling polls for the summer, and if someone can't make it to a few in a row, they could organize something themselves and use a poll.
I'm game for a dinner picnic.
-
A friend of mine puts together a calender of free events in Boston every summer. I figured this is a group who will really appreciate it! It's here:
https://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=5qpjq791pdfuvb806b4qkkktm4@group.calendar.google.com&ctz=America/New_York
I love the idea of a picnic dinner!
-
6/1 dinner picnic works for me
-
June 1st works for me.
-
Another Bostonian here! I can't do 6/1, but will hopefully catch up with you all at a later date.
-Jeff
-
I can't do June 1st, so you folks have fun with that.
But I would like to propose hosting a BBQ in my "drive-yard" on a weeknight in July (maybe a Wednesday or Thursday)? My house is conveniently located 20 minutes walk from Harvard, Porter, or Inman Square's. I have space for 10 people easy. Does that sound compelling?
-
More frequent gatherings sounds great as not everyone can make every event.
For the June 1, where do people want to meet - Common or Park? Can people do 5:30 or would 6 be better?
-
Afraid I'll be away on 6/1, but looking forward to meeting/catching up with you guys soon!
-
For the June 1, where do people want to meet - Common or Park? Can people do 5:30 or would 6 be better?
I'm not sure where these are...and I feel foolish admitting it. I'm flexible on time. Thanks!

I can do any time after 5-ish, so 5:30 works for me. "Common" definitely means Boston Common (https://www.google.com/maps/place/Boston+Common/@42.3550293,-71.0656252,17z). I assumed "Park" to mean Norman B. Leventhal Park (http://www.normanbleventhalpark.org/index.html), a popular picnic area in Downtown Boston (CommonCents, please correct if I assumed incorrectly).
Between those choices, I'd rather meet on the Common, so we have the option to play frisbee or do other sports.

Sorry, I used the wrong term. I meant Public Gardens versus Boston Common. Both basically same location, just one offers more Frisbee options and the other more flower viewing options. Common it is.
-
More frequent Boston events sounds awesome.
If some of the future dates are organized anytime on Saturdays, this may work best for those who commute from outside of Boston to attend.
Thanks for organizing this!

The prior two were on weekends, so I was angling for a midweek change up, thinking it might be easier for commuters. More frequent events at different times will likely solve that problem.
On a very random note, any bakers coming to the June 1 event? I have some sourdough starter that I can bring to share out if anyone wants to try it out.

Not interested in sourdough at the moment. But, you remind me:
Anyone interested in kefir (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kefir) grains? They turn milk a low-lactose, mildly fuzzy drink. Let me know now/soon, so I have time to grow enough to share.
-

Aehm, yes! But I won't make it to the meetup in Boston - I live close to Worcester and have a 3mo old baby.
Any chance I could pick up some grains? I'll be in Boston June 9th. Thanks!

Bruno, check your private messages, we may be able to meet separately. Maybe do a Worcester meetup?
-
How about meet-up in Worcester (or Boston) Saturday June 13th at noon? Please add me to the Worcester meet-up list.
-
Unfortunately, I'm out for 6/1 (got roped into helping a family member). Have a great time, and I'm excited for the next one!
-
Hey guys,
I'm relatively new to Boston and just stumbled on this thread. Is it cool if I tag along? I usually work until 6pm, but I can swing by the common shortly after work. Where in the common are you planning on meeting?
Thanks!
-
Someone suggested another meetup on June 13. That's LGBT Pride in Boston, so if you do that, plan accordingly!
Now, as for 6/1, they're predicting rain. Does anyone have an indoor venue to suggest as an alternative, or should we just schedule it for another day?

Ugh, the rain derailed my Sunday gardening plans (although my decluttering efforts were fruitful instead). I'm game for a reschedule rather than try to picnic in the rain.
Is the 13th set or can we r/s it? We scheduled a meetup on the LGTB parade last year as I recall.
-
Instead of cancelling, can we find an indoor space to meet?
Some indoor spaces:
Boston Public Library
One of the many food courts around: City Place, Quincy Market, South Station, Museum of Science, Cambridgeside Galleria, Prudential Center(?)
A building atrium
A hotel lobby
Some area on an open-campus college, like MIT or Harvard, don't know about BU or Emerson
I'm not familiar with the library, so I suggest City Place (https://www.google.com/maps/place/City+Place/@42.3523882,-71.0658836,17z/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x89e37a76600ef77f:0xcf073e562a5f6c24?hl=en). It's just south of the Common, with an alleyway entrance across the street from the burial grounds.
CommonCents, what do you think?
-
I think I should have brought my dinner with me after all!
It's ok. State transportation building? I'm not sure of the hours, but there's a small food court downstairs where we could sit and chat, plus it's still close to Park Street for those on the red/green lines. My office (I work for the state) holds public meetings in the rooms upstairs. ETA: Google says hours till 8PM. 10 Park Plaza
I'd be happy to hang out in a hotel lobby, but I admit I'd feel odd having an indoor picnic at one. I'd nix the Boston Library (a beautiful place though) because we probably shouldn't bring food or significant conversation there.
Anyone know an open building on Suffolk campus? That's right downtown.
-
Go ahead and make the call. I'm fine with the State Transportation Building if you are. It's a bit late, but if you or someone else commits to meeting, I'll come. I also didn't bring dinner from home, but if it's in a food court, I'm fine with ordering something. Or, feel free to postpone, and next time, we'll plan a rain location.

If no one else responds yes (in which case I'll meet up) and you're really ok rescheduling - with a rain location, then I'd appreciate that. I had a really emotional week last week, both ups and downs. I'm worn out by everything.
-
Sounds like rescheduling is best. Everyone stay tuned for our next attempt...
-
I metioned up above that I'd like to host a outdoor grilling meet up at my place in Somerville not far from Havard Square. Any interest in that this summer?
Also, Friday 7/24 is a good free event. It's the Somerville Urban Campout. Where you pitch a tent in Lincoln park and make smores/play games.
-
Sounds like at least several people would be interested in June 13th for reschedule. There seems to be some preference for early afternoons as well.
Proposal: Saturday June 13th at 1pm MMM Boston area Meetup
velocistar237, would this work OK for you, or a better time on June 13th? How about Able was I ERE? If you can come, please post / re-post your interest.
Not from Boston myself, so not sure where we'd meet. I'd be open to any location that day personally. Indoor may provide a weather contingency.
-
I'm interested; however, there is a chance that a fam member will celebrate her birthday on 6/13. So I'm in for now.

That works for me. MIT's campus would work well if you don't mind hunting for parking, and there are plenty of indoor alternates there. Further out would be better for driving and parking, something like the park at Assembly Square. Or, you could team up with Thomas below if it works for him, though 1pm might not be the best time for a cookout. I'll think some more about it.

Definitely interested in both. Do people have to register for the campout? I imagine it's gotten popular.
-
June 13th sounds great. I'd really like to meet fellow mustachians in the Boston area.
Thanks for the info on the Somerville Urban campout! That sounds awesome! I've wanted to camp in a park, but was afraid of getting arrested!
Speaking of free events, have you guys gone to the Boston Bike Party events? There is a ride on the 12th and it is usually a lot of fun.
-
I think I'm out. But have fun.
-
trobertson, a cookout in Somerville sounds great. Thanks for offering to host!
MIT would be a good location for a potluck- there are picnic tables in shade in front of the Student Center with green space for Frisbee (Kresge oval). We wouldn't have access to barbecue pits and wouldn't be able to drink alcohol without a permit, but there are plenty of indoor spaces as well (open tables in Stata Center/Lobby 7/Student Center).

I can't make 1pm on the 13th, but could tentatively show up later if you guys are still there (4pm or so). Having a yard sale for upcoming move that day.
-
June 13th 1pm potluck sounds good to me. I saw MIT/Assembly square thrown out as meeting points. I also saw people liked the BBQ idea. If it makes it easy, I'm happy to host on the 13th if people want to come this way (union square somerville). I have parking for around 3-4 cars if need be.
-
My wife and I (and 1 yr twins) would like to come out to this meetup on the 13th. We live near Inman Sq, so any of the proposed locations would work for us.
-
If this is actually going to happen in four days someone is going to have to be a point person. How about if you're interested email me: "thomas.james.robertson" at the old gmail with dot com on the end. I check email pretty religiously with my smart phone so I can connect anyone who emails me.
When (if) you email me indicate if you would prefer MIT or my house at near Union/Inman.
velocistar237: Seems you've been doing this for awhile, if you already have contacts maybe we could utilize those?
-
I won't be able to attend the 13th meetup. Enjoy, I'll catch another one.

-
Hey, I encouarge anyone on this thread to email me and I'll try to collate emails together to make this sort of planning easier (many people go days/weeks without checking this forum). Maybe in the near future we can have some sort of google group or something.
"Thomas.James.Robertson" at ye ol g of the mail dot com
-
So far we have 6 or 7 people who are planning to attend. We're meeting at my house at 1pm Saturday (unless I talk people into doing noon). Email me to RSVP and for the address
thomas.james.robertson AYAT g AND mail DOTTT com
-
Also, you folks who say you can't attend should probably email me also so we can collate email addresses for people and make some sort of email list for going forward
-
I live in Quincy and definitely interested in a meetup! Won't be able to make the 13th one so soon, but I'll have to keep checking back to see the updates!
-
Update, meeting time is at noon this Saturday I've lost count of how many are coming, something like 7+. Again email me at address I posted previously or PM me with your email address if you want to come to this or future meetups and we'll get an email list going soon enough.
-
I saw this too late but I would be interested in a meeting.
-
Thanks for coming everyone. A couple things:
We're going to make a Google Group starting with the email addresses. I just want to check on the name. DC folks use "DC Mustachians" (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/dc-mustachians) shall we go with "Boston Mustachians"?
When shall we do the next one?
July? 18th or 19th is my vote
-
We now have a Google group:
https://groups.google.com/d/forum/boston-mustachians
-
Mid-July meet-up anyone? Per discussion in the Google Group, put your availability date/times here: http://when2meet.com/?3176696-8XE9h
-
Looks like we're probably doing Saturday July 18th at noon at my house. Join the google group for details
-
Hey all -
Just want to make sure everyone's aware of the Free Fun Fridays (highlandstreet.org)? To add to the goodness this summer with free concerts, movies and shakespeare.
-
We have settled on a third Saturday schedule for the next few months (once the weather gets cold we'll re-evaluate, maybe continue monthly or maybe drop back a bit till the spring).
There's a (probably small) propossed meetup happening this Saturday Aug 15th.
Then we have decided on the dates: Sept 19, Oct 17, Nov 21.
-
Next meetup:
This Saturday, August 15, at noon, BYO picnic lunch here: https://goo.gl/maps/3ERHx
Orange Line accessible.
If the weather forecast changes for the worse, PM me or join the Google group to get the rain location.
-
(Mods, feel free to delete if you think it necessary)
I apologize for hijacking the thread, but I have a quick question that I feel a bunch of Massachusetts Mustacheans would be able to answer better than anyone. I don't want to derail the thread so if you could send me a message, I'd really appreciate it!
Does anyone know what the software job market is like in Boston? SO is heading to graduate school in a few weeks, and I'd like to avoid 5+ years of long distance. I've seen a lot of job postings, but I know there's a LOT of new grads coming out of MIT, Harvard, Boston College, Tufts, et cetera. I'm guessing there's huge competition for a lot of these jobs?
I can live pretty happily on a small budget, so even with the increased COL I'm not too concerned with getting a high salary, just a steady job where I can gain experience. I have 1 year of experience in .NET/c#, as well as a BS in math/minor in cs with good GPA (3.75).
Thanks guys! If all goes well, maybe I can come to the next meetup ;)
-
You might not be able to get a job on every street in town, but, every other street is hiring software engineers.
-
Yes, the software job market is hot in Boston. For more opinions, see this thread from earlier this year: Tech workers in the Boston area (http://forum.mrmoneymustache.com/ask-a-mustachian/tech-workers-in-the-boston-area/).
On salary, don't sell yourself short---be sure to research (Glassdoor, etc) for the appropriate salary. Boston is one of the highest paid markets for software engineers.

How did I miss this? :)

I'm so excited, I'm getting my first dog!!! Yay! But with a dog comes the need for dog supplies.
The way this works is, I'll meet the dog, and if we get along, I'll take her home with me that day. That means I can't buy a lot of what I need in advance, because if I don't adopt her, the dog I end up with might be a different size. I'm going to borrow a crate from my parents for a couple days and then order one online, but where should I get everything else: collar, id tags, leash, food, treats, a few toys..... any suggestions for a chain or a store local to the Somerville area? I know I'll have to lay out some money, and I'm ok with that (I've budgeted for it, of course,) but I don't want to overspend if I can help it.
Thanks!
(I might not be at this weekend's meetup - I'll be busy with dog prep!)
-
Lurker here, just signed up for the group as well!

Going to Join as well.
Love to meet some like minded people!

I'm moving (back) to Boston in two weeks, and would be happy to meet up with other Mustachians in the area :)

Does anyone in the area use RingPlus for their cell plan? If so, how is it? It looks too good to be true, so I'm wondering about signal quality, including for phone calls. Thanks!

-
I'm moving! Woo hoo! But now I need to hire movers. Can anyone recommend someone local who's reliable and reasonably price? Thanks!
(Moving myself isn't an option - I'm definitely hiring movers, I'm just not sure who.)
-
Hi, NestEggChick.
When I moved in August, I used these folks:
http://www.dnvanlines.com/
I found them to be extremely competent with helping me plan the move, and the young men who executed all the work were sweet, helpful, eager to do a good job, and just plain wonderful to work with. I did not shop around and get lots of prices, however. Once I spoke to the staff initially, I knew I wanted to work with them and didn't look any further.
Hope that helps.
-
That's so great! Thanks Beardog!
-
I could use some help from mustachian-minded local folks. Sadly, I only have 1 pair of pants that fits, and that's just not enough. Does anyone have recommendations for a place to get inexpensive jeans? I'd like them to last a few seasons, but they don't need to be super sturdy - I'm sure I'll be a different size in a few years, anyway (which is why I only have the 1 pair right now.) I'm looking for low rise skinny jeans, probably a size 6 or 8. Thanks!
-
Bump.
We still have an active group with monthly meetups

There is a Goodwill in Davis Square Somerville accessible by red line T. They have sales all the time like $1 for any item of clothing, but their regular prices are cheap anyway. I got a $1 pair of jeans there that I have been wearing daily ever since. They have a ton of womens' jeans in all sizes. The pair I bought were longs, which are hard to find in retail stores. Be prepared to spend some time hunting. The clothing is not sorted by size.

Did you end up using Ringplus and what is your experience? 275 minutes of sprint is quite a good deal for free. If you have internet at home, then you can probably use a separate VOIP for minutes and even SMS.
I use republic wireless, which also uses sprint when not on VOIP, and have not had any issue, so I imagine ringplus would be fine since it's also VOIP + sprint. I evaluated this option but thought that the ads might be distracting.

Would love to meet some like-minded folks! Is this group going to meet again?

Hey guys! I just introduced my roommate to being a badass and we're hoping to meet up with some of you! Is https://groups.google.com/d/forum/boston-mustachians still active?
-
Yes, the group is very active - - meetups about once / month. The Google group is used almost exclusively for coordinating the meetups.

Hey everyone! I'm relatively new to Boston (1 year) and recently found out about https://groups.google.com/d/forum/boston-mustachians. I'd love to meet up with some of you. How can I apply to join?

Hi, I've been lurking the forums for a while now and want to get more involved/meet up with like-minded individuals. I'm from west of the city, but can I also join this group?

Hey there, wondering how to apply or access the Google Groups for MMM meet-up in and around Boston? The link a couple ppl posted on here gives you an error message. Would love to make time to meet some MMMers IRL at an upcoming event. Thx!

The Google Group is still active. If the group link (https://groups.google.com/g/boston-mustachians) doesn't work for you, you can email the list owners:
boston-mustachians+owner <at> googlegroups <dot> com
Sorry for the late notice, but there is a meetup tomorrow, June 19, at noon at Duggar Park in Medford. We're meeting at the picnic tables next to the playground.

Google Groups changed their settings at some point, possibly over a year ago, and the new default value made the group not visible. Sorry about that. It's fixed now. I also added the group owner email to the top post of this thread in case you'd rather ask to join via email.
