Again, without giving too much away, I'm probably going to take the red to Davis and just bike the rest of the way there, and hopefully not get too drunk upon arrival. That is, unless somebody can give me a ride, for which I will exchange plenty of booze.

just as a heads up, without giving too much away...i know the #79 was mentioned as being accessible, however according to the mbta's website, it doesn't run on saturdays.  so it looks like #77 is the best bet and that coming from lechmere is not an option if you want to use public transportation.

granted the 77 is outed ; - }

it leaves the Harvard Square Station from the upper busway.
The Red Line stops at this station.
both busway and red underground.

ask for directions.
cantabridgians don't bite ; - }


there are many buildings with the venue's name
along that bus route ...
(it got outed  few days ago)

[lentower]

if you are quick at finding your way in unfamiliar territory:

* red line to porter, catch the 77 outbound bus there

* take bike to Alewife on red line. 
take minuteman bike path the appropriate distance. 
then surface streets.
the path has a decent map that can be found via google.

if you don't spaz,
either of these will save you 5 to 10 minutes.

Any last minute changes to the list? Is there still a chance? Or is it all set?

sean's email said to tell him, if you couldn't come.
so, tiny chance.
worth checking your email and the list into
the early evening

I'm leaving Billerica to head over around 6, anyone need car pool from around here?

[RiverVox]

would anyone be willing to give me a ride there? i'm coming from out of town and definitely will brave the unfamiliar mass transit but if its convenient for someone to pick me up on the way that'd be rad. i'm looking at a hotel in cambridge, probably.

I'm leaving from Brookline at around 6 and could easily pick you up in Cambridge. Send me a message!

Fml, running late. Forgot it's my dad's bday.

You're fine, we haven't even started letting people in, yet.

Dear Amanda Palmer,

This I will say first:  I fucking respect you.  I respect that you do what you want, that you reinvent yourself, that you support up and coming artists, that I am slightly drunken right now because there was an open bar.

No matter what else, and there will be an else, remember that.

That being said, you will never, ever, be my dance party music.  Matt & Kim -- they are the type of band that I will dance out to, not quite knowing the lyrics, not quite caring.  They will be the band that I let loose and pump my hand into the air for.  You won't be the Amanda Palmer + synthesizer + Australian band music.

I care too much.  You will be my I'm broken up, I know all the words to "Astronaut" and "Have to Drive" and it is fucking poetry music.  You will be my, my heart is broken and my brain is broken and you are my solace music.  You will occasionally be I broke my bra dancing to "Guitar Hero" but the words still broke my heart  music;.

You are in good company.  Elliott Smith is somewhere next to you.

It's not your fault.  I am happy that you are happy, that happiness has taken the form of a synthesizer and a dance beat.

But the space you occupy in my brain and heart, it is much more, Amanda Palmer.  It is more than what you did tonight, the mythology that you occupy.  I am sorry for that burden and wish I could wash it clean.

And still I respect you for all that you do.

[RiverVox]

Thank you Sean and Hayley for making tonight happen. So full of art/rock energy I can't go to sleep! 

[PolitelyOffend]

What a great night. Thanks to Hayley, Sean, Kate, and everyone else who made it work.
I actually really loved the new material. The songs were dancier but no less lyrically impressive. I was able to let loose and dance, and the amazing lyrics got me more into it. Also, just because you can dance to it doesn't mean the lyrics are less important. It's pretty unfair to declare an artist as being one type of artist. Opinions are one thing, but don't say an artist can never accoplish something. If someone doesn't like the new songs, that's fine, you can choose not to buy them, but it's unfair to confine the artist inside a previous style.
They being said, I loved it.
