I don't see any mention on the wiki about post-conference activities. Seeing
as it's Friday evening, I believe adjourning to a pub might be in order. :)
Unless anyone else is already organizing something, I'll volunteer myself.
Do we have a rough guess at the number of attendees?

Sorry to be a pain, but the United States has restrictions on those
being under-21 years of age from attending a pub (I believe)
If we do hit a pub, can we find a friendly one, that will allow those
that are under-21 years of age to get in, even if its not to serve
alcohol (but Coca Cola)?
Thanks
But yes, Paul, go ahead, organise it. It'll be informal, and we're going
to do signups soon, so we'll have better numbers later. Post-FUDCon
activities can be announced on FUDCon day itself ;-)
(or a little earlier at our working website, I'm sure)
Regards

Not a problem; most pubs in Massachusetts will still admit under-21 folks.
They usually don't ask for ID unless you order alcohol.

Cool. Once we have some idea of numbers, I'll check around at a few nearby
places and make sure they wouldn't mind a large influx of geeks on a Friday
evening. :)

In fact, it's fairly common to see babies in pubs here. Not that I'm
planning on bringing mine. :)

My experience in the Boston pub scene, which is quite extensive, is that
under-21 folks will not be getting into any pubs on a Friday. The pubs
will be too busy, the carding will be done at the door.

The last time I had an under-21 friend in town, a couple of years ago,
the only place that worked out was Jillians. It's a bit flashy, but a
side benefit for all attendees from out of town is that they can walk by
Fenway Park, which is right across the street.

This is not the case at most of the pubs near BU, at least not until much
later at night.
Don't worry, I will make sure that whatever place is selected will be
under-21 friendly.

Thank you. I only really do want to drink Coca Cola, but I'd also like
to get in, preferably ;-)

As I recall, there's a really nice Irish pub on Beacon, somewhere around
the 900 block or so -- anyone know the one I'm talking about? Is it far
from where we're meeting on Friday?

Not sure if you're thinking of O'Leary's (1010 Beacon St) or An Tua Nua
(formerly Rira, 835 Beacon St). O'Leary's is a very nice Irish pub, but
probably wouldn't have room for us at that time (but I'll ask when I have
some estimate of numbers). An Tua Nua is less of a traditional Irish pub
(though they try), but has the benefit of being much larger, and is usually
virtually empty until 9-10pm on Friday nights.

It is O'Leary's I'm thinking about. In particular, it's their Guinness
Beef Stew I'm so fondly remembering. Mmmmm.
But I've just realized I won't be there on Friday night anyway, as I'll be
catching a plane back to Raleigh right after the show -- so that's a drag.

It's official...
FUDpub 2005
An Tua Nua
835 Beacon St
Boston, MA 02215
This is about a five minute walk from the BU Photonics Center. Directions
are here: <http://tinyurl.com/3mkxg>
We can show up any time after 6:00, and they will keep the left half of the
pub reserved for us. They are aware that some of those attending will be
under 21, so will check IDs when alcohol is ordered (not at the door). They
have a decent menu, so it's good for dinner as well as drinks.
I will have a stack of maps & directions printed out for distribution on
Friday. Can someone with write-access to the web page add a note about
this, maybe at the end of the schedule?
