anyone wanna gimme a lift to Boston?

[JohnKleeb]

I really wanna go lol.

[nuxvomica]

1. Sure, Kleeb

Make it as far as here and I'll give you a ride. Stand anywhere on the 5 Corners at 3:00, ok? Make sure you're eating a sausage sandwich so I can recognize you. ;-)

[JohnKleeb]

7. hah how do I get to upstate new york

[Raven]

2. Aw! Kleeb! You don't really want to be there!

It's gonna be a big pain in the ass. Nothing happens at the convention...it's all done. People party all night and sleep all day. They will show up for the big moments but most of the rest of it is bulls**t. My friends tell me that Boston is an armed camp and a real mess. Count your blessings and watch it on TV with a few beers or a good scotch! :-)

[JohnKleeb]

4. Thing is Ive never seen Boston

and I wanted to look at colleges on the side and go to Fenway and buy me a Yankees suck T.

[Raven]

8. I'm not saying don't come to Boston, just

don't come this week!

[JohnKleeb]

9. yeah but I am hearing about drinking and fun fun like that

[nuxvomica]

10. Raven speaks wisdom, Kleeb

I was at Fenway last Wednesday and we had trouble getting out of the city because they already had some detours. I am told they're closing roads and subway stations and I know a lot of office buildings are just shutting down next week. You would end up seeing very little of the political process and your view of Beantown would be less than optimum. Be fair to lady Boston and don't on call on her when she's not at her best. :-)

[JohnKleeb]

11. Yeah I guess so but would be nice to get out of NoVA for a change thats

for sure, though I am going to Ocean City next week though.

[Rhiannon12866]

14. Raven, I do hope that you realize that John just turned 17

yesterday, LOL! No scotch for him, at least on my watch!:D

[JohnKleeb]

19. bah

hey I was mistaken for 14 earlier.

[Rhiannon12866]

21. I was also always mistaken for much younger, myself, John

This is aggravating at 16 or 17, but you begin to become grateful for it, the farther you get from 21!:shrug:

[JohnKleeb]

25. I know rhi heh

actually I think at work I could pass for older, especiallly days like yesterday because I had my fuzz unshaved, shaved last night though. I am not exactly small either, so its all good.

[DODI]

3. If you can get to CT you can ride with us.

[DancingBear]

5. Go to the Republican one instead

It will be much easier to get arrested there. :) :)

[KG]

6. if i was going, i'd pick ya up on my way north.

if you go, just remember to run when they pigs start firing off the tear-gas and rubber bullets.

and call your parents once in awhile.

[AlFrankenFan]

12. Yer back!

I know I want to go too! I asked when I was in Massachusetts (North Adams) if I could go to Boston, and of course not being one who knows the state I got laughed at as I was told it was six hours away. Plus they were Republicans, like THEY'D drop me off there. :eyes:

[JohnKleeb]

18. Yeah for good

You mean they still have republicans in Massachuetts? heh kidding, I know that they do.

[AlFrankenFan]

20. Yeah they do lol

even my grandmother is one! :wow:

But, I saw more Kerry stickers than Bush by at least five to one. It's an encouraging sign :)

[JohnKleeb]

26. well I was kidding because I know Massachuetts historically

is very republican, see theres proof of the WASP conspiracy, when Massachuetts was all WASP and not Catholic, it was republican and now that its major Catholic, its democratic. I still need a lift to Boston.

[Rhiannon12866]

13. I agree with Raven

Boston is a great city, with so much to see, but they have practically shut it down, out of fear of terrorism. Michael Moore's "culture of fear," if you remember "Bowling for Columbine." They are even removing the mailboxes, out of fear from bombs, according to the news. Definitely not the time to play tourist, but I truly understand your motivation. I would like to be there, as well. This is history in the making! Plus, Dennis Kucinich will be there, LOL! Our candidate. Sigh.:-(

[bushwakker]

15. I'm in Boston - and I'm leaving!!!

heading to Maine tomorrow. The city was a mess before the convention arrived. The thought of being here this week is too much.

[Raven]

16. I have always thought John Kleeb was 47 not 17!!!

Funny how you develop an image of someone you've never met! No boozing for you, John! Settle down in front of the TV with a coke and watch the goings on! :hi:

[JohnKleeb]

17. hah

well its gonna be hard for me to booze when my lone source is quitting.

[Rhiannon12866]

23. You're not the first one to make this mistake, Raven!

The youngest ones on this board are amazingly politically savvy. I have learned much from John and his buddy, leftistrebel1569, who is a year younger. This gives me hope, that they take such an interest and have so much passion about this. We need this in our country.:-)

[Renew Deal]

22. I thought that was you in the parachute.

[JohnKleeb]

24. no I told you

I have so many fears, I was afraid of diving boards till I was 11. Yeah I am a wuss.
