LibraryThing party in Boston
If you'll be in Boston this Saturday, January 16th , come to our LibraryThing Meetup!We're taking advantage of the American Library Assocation conference in Boston to pull together all our favorite bibliophiles, eat food, drink drinks, and talk about the state of books, the future of the book, and what you just finished reading.
We're having it at The Green Dragon Tavern—a nice fit, as "The Green Dragon" is one of the most active groups on LibraryThing.
In true LibraryThing tradition we'll be providing ALL THE BAKED BRIE YOU CAN HANDLE, along with other light fare, perhaps including some that don't revolve around cheese. Since we're not doing ConferenceThing,* we've got some money to burn, and can offer a snack-y dinner instead. You buy the beer.
Date: January 16th, 2010
Time: 5:30-8:00 pm
Location: The Green Dragon (see Local event) – 11 Marshall St Boston, MA 02108

I'll be there! Great choice of venue!
I wish I could be there.. but I'm not even close that day (3,500 miles).
But I'll gladly by any LT'er a beer in the Netherlands.
Such a shame that I can't make this. I'd love the meet the LibraryThing crew.
What a great event this will be! Unfortunately, there's no way I could make it cross-country to visit, but it's very touching to see it held at the Green Dragon. Thanks for creating such a great site that's provided a home to so many of us. :)
Cheers ! from Belgium
YAY! Can't wait.
Thanks! I'll try to make it!
I would have loved to come, but we have other plans this weekend....
Sadly, I too have other plans - Arisia, across the river in Cambridge. Sci-fi, book friendly, nerdapalooza. Y'all would fit in well there.
I'm in! My husband would lvoe to come too- and he's an LTer as well :-)
I'll be there!
I wish I could go. I love that place!
I would love to go, but I'm not sure if it's worth 3 hours each way. And driving in Boston.
Sounds like fun! Unfortunately I won't for midwinter Boston.
That sounds great! The venue choice is excellent. I wish we could have something like this in Philadelphia; you have a lot of members out our way.
Have fun, guys!
kudos LibraryThing for stepping up. see you then.
Would love to meet the LT crew but it is a LONG bus (and change in Hartford) ride from New Haven!
