...or we could wear our normal clothes and that way we would be able to spot each other right away.

just look out into the crowd and see someone wearing normal clothes and "ah that must be someone from the forum"  try it, it works all the time 60% of the time

You have a point.
You assume that I have normal clothes.

And so do you. But that means I'd have to go to to a BK.

Decisions, decisions...

What? After all of the um.. "favors" we had to do to get him to go further north than NY?
We'll take pictures for you.

/sigh.  This is just going to be my first ever trip to Boston and it would be really cool if I got to meet JB while I was there.  Would it help if I told you that I will be having my birthday while I am there?   ;D

Well, seeing as how its your first trip, don't forget to see the USS Constitution. And have some baked beans and beer for your birthday.
And NO. Doesn't help.

If you live in MA and this is your first trip then WHAT?
If you live in NH, again WHAT?
or even ME... what?

But we'll forgive you if you live further away.
Still not changing the date. Maybe you can offer "favors" to Jim's publicist?

What is the name of that hot dog place where they insult you? You should go there. Or, I bet Fyr would give you hot dogs and insult you, too.  ;)

For a small fee, of course.

I live in Seattle and the closest I have ever lived to Boston was Arkansas, so it is not entirely surprising that I have never been there.  I am really looking forward to it.  Although I was thinking of having lobster for my birthday.  I mean really, how can I go to New England and not have lobster?  I am definitely open to suggestions about sights to see while I am there though.  I know next to nothing about Boston.

Hm, glad I checked the forums out. Looking forward to getting what I can signed. See all you folks there, I guess!

Been living in the Boston area my whole life and served as a tour guide for several summers.  I suggest that you start off with a Duck Tour (http://www.bostonducktours.com/tickets_main.aspx) It's the best way to see the town as an overview; you can then pick a few places that you see on the tour to come back to visit. Definitely get an MBTA pass too (details: http://mbta.com/fares_and_passes/passes/). It's the best and least expensive way to get around town and catch the sights. Definitely check out the North End as it's sort of a mecca for good Italian food (Mike's and/or Modern Pastry for cannoli should be a must). I like visiting the New England Aquarium personally but that can be a bit pricey. The Back Bay is one of the trendier spots in Boston...sorta like Boston's version of Fifth Avenue. That's a nice pleasant street to walk on to check out some really cool/unique shops. I also suggest checking out Harvard Square (just off the Red Line).

If you're feeling extra adventurous, take a ferry up to Salem and explore that town for a day as well.

If you're looking for good seafood, check out Legal Seafoods. There are several locations. Personally I like The Daily Catch, which is in the North End. If you can somehow make it out to a Kelly's Roast Beef (there's one in Allston, which is on the Green Line), definitely do so as they have good, well-priced seafood.  I'd say that Kelly's is very much a restaurant that represents the local flavor.
