There's lots of stuff to do in Boston, it all depends on what your interests
are. There's the Museum of Fine Arts, the Children's Museum, the Computer
Museum, the Museum of Science; there's the whole Faniuel Hall/Quincy
Market/Freedom Trail historical thing (including Paul Revere's house); there's
the top of the John Hancock building, which I guess is kind of part of the
historical thing.

It all depends. First, make sure you go to the Bull & Finch Pub, which is
actually the bar Cheers is based on (*not* the place that is actually called
Cheers, which is a totally different place- I've never been there, so I don't
know what it's like). The B&F is rather small, and the food is overpriced, but
you don't need to worry about that, I guess, because the meeting is indeed in a
restaurant. Still, the B&F is cool to see, because even though the set of
Cheers is different- mostly bigger- it's pretty clearly the real-life version
of the same place.

Hmmm. Unfortunately, I'll be working during the day, but usually people start
turning up at TCS about half an hour early or so.

If you're going to drive your car in Boston... umm... oh, dear.
