going to Boston so I can visit eggbug
nothing else is in Boston
I wanna go to swapfest actually
cam bridge mass of choose its
you can't tell any one if I visit because I don't wanna give a talk about any thing
NEU academics don't open
come to think of it does Boston not have venues for big shows bc why are none of my bands ever in Boston
why are they in Raleigh, North Carolina, but not Boston
my b Vienna Vienna will be performing at Brighton Music Hall
I'm moving to Brighton, Massachusetts
what do you mean Brighton Music Hall is in Allston and not Brighton lmao
I'm holding on Allston, Massachusetts
Newton, Massachusetts... wait every town in this area ends with ton
why are the streets so wiggly here? wiggly streets make me suspicious. you had 300 years to develop a grid system why is it wiggly
I'm moving to Elkins Park, Pennsylvania for the Korean food
what the
near the music hall there's a Thai restaurant and a Korean restaurant and a Brazilian restaurant on the same corner in Allston
why are there one million Korean restaurants in Allston
I'm moving to Allston, Massachusetts for Korean food
bye bye Elkins Park. actually WAIT Elkins Park has an H-Mart
Harvard is next to MIT??
Tufts is in Boston???
what the hell you could hold a NEPLS just for Boston area and rotate host universities among five different universities
how far is it to Provincetown
I love both provinces and towns
it wants me to do a Jesus
I'm surprised that 4h ferries exist
I think Vancouver to the island must be like a 2h trip
anyway. I'm not sure I like Vienna Vienna that much
why does every campus in Boston and Cambridge have big church
Somerville... Wintahville...
it's surprising that Boston doesn't also include Cambridge and Somerville based on what the geography looks like the way that Philadelphia is gigantomongous and contains what really should be maybe three or four separate cities
wait there's so many lighthouses around here. I'm convinced that many of the features of children's stories (fireflies, lightning storms, lighthouses) is actually just Boston only
even though Vancouver faces the water I've only seen like one lighthouse. why would there be lighthouses? there's nothing out there except ocean
@ionchy there's a lightship in the strait of juan de fuca. There's maybe a lighthouse or other fixed light on race rocks. Vancouver doesn't face the ocean, it faces a sound. Lots of rocks in the sound between Vancouver and the Ocean.
@ionchy lies. there's no lightship any more. :(
well I guess there's also tornadoes. I don't think Boston gets those
whoever wrote the wikipedia page for Somerville really wants you to know that it's a great and fantastic place

meanwhile:

Nicknames: Allston, Rat City

@ionchy We have all of these in Santa Cruz
@dev that can't be right
fireflies aren't on the west coast
@ionchy oh well plenty of this glow like plankton
@ionchy and glow sticks at redwood raves
@ionchy Seattle to Victoria was 4h in the fast ferry. I have done Van to Nanaimo but I don't recall how long it took.
@ionchy wait really? I thought it was only 2-3 hours by car and the ferry was faster
@ionchy also I think it is possible to take a very small plane on a very short flight from Boston to Provincetown, though I would not necessarily recommend that
@dan I would love to be in a very small plane for a very short flight tho
as long as TSA is not longer than the flight itself
@ionchy @dan you would like Alaska, this is the predominant mode of transportation in large sections of the state

@dan must be the wind
@dan @ionchy very curious about how one gets to Vancouver Island by car without the use of a ferry

@ionchy a bit of a long swim but even farther by road. https://patricklam.ca/post/20040505-capecod/

@va2lam the steadily increasing incidents on this trip got me stressed out already
@ionchy I have successfully dodged travel issues for the last two weekends
@ionchy for some definition of boston
@milo it's licherally next to neu
@milo oh nvm I see they do the satellite campus thing lol
@ionchy @milo its ez to get to tufts tho. green E line goes from neu station to medford/tufts station direct
@ionchy is that weird
@milo no it's an indicator of a real city. what business does Allston have being a real city
@ionchy its really close to BU so a lot of students or recent grads live there
@milo รถ there's a THIRD university here
