Meet 9/14 Framingham (Beer/Food)

[bazooka joe]

I can seriously see the restaurant from my window. My building is off of Crossing Blvd. However, I have to be home in Millis by 7:00 because my fiance and I are going to Lowes to price carpet installation for the condo we are closing on.

Sorry guys, can't make this one.

Anyway, I can help a little: If coming from the Mass Pike, take exit 12 and get on Route 9 West. Get over to the left lane ASAP. You will see the restaurant on the east-bound side but YOU CANNOT MAKE A U-TURN at the next light. Instead stay in the left lane and directly after the light bear left onto the Crossing Blvd ramp. When you come up to the light, make a U-Turn to get back on Route 9 East.



See my map.
Light blue: follow this line onto Crossing Blvd.
Dark blue: follow this line back onto Rt. 9 East.
Orange: alternate route (not sure where you can make a U-Turn but there might be a place)
Red: Acapulcos

Most people won't be taking the Crossing Blvd. ramp at that hour so you can have some fun and floor it. It's a short little rollercoaster ride.

thanks chris!

Closing date is Oct. 14th. It's in Millis right behind our apartment. Our apartment is a garden style and the condos are town-house style but both were built by the same company at the same time. It has a little more space than our current apartment so we are basically going from paying rent to paying a mortgage. I think once we get the tax return the payments will be very close but for now it's a little more than the apartment.

I just drove by there...I accidentally circled the wrong building. Acapulcos is the last building in the strip before the entrance to the pike.

I work at Computer Associates (100 Staples Drive). As you are waiting at that stop light on Crossing, my building is to the left next to the parking garage. The garage is new, I'm one of like 3 people who park on the 2nd level...that is until they move all the Netegrity people in Waltham to our office and the new building next to us opens.

Hey Chris, there is a CA office in my building on the 8th floor I think, Washington blvd, Stamford, CT. They have more women then we do, lucky bastards.




Damn you people and your proximity to each other.

[chuyler1]

Indeed we do...I don't know anyone in that office. My group (eTrust Antivirus) is spread out between Framingham, Islandia NY, Israel, Australia, and Germany.

so you going to skip your meeting tonight to come drink with us chris??????

 

[chuyler1]

I can't... Home Depot said they are booking carpet installs a month in advance...and they won't book a date until they come to look at the place. We have to get them into the place this weekend in order to book a date between the 14th and 1st of november. If we don't get a date in that window, we'll have to move in before the carpeting is done. I want to get this out of the way so I can book a moving company...

Step 1) closing date, the 14th of October
Step 2) carpet the upstairs bedroom and stairs
Step 3) paint various rooms (my fiance wants to but I don't think we'll have time)
Step 4) have movers move all the furniture (we have way too much and I'm lazy)
Step 5) we move all the other stuff (ok I'm not that lazy)
Step 6) we're out of the apartment, the 1st of november

I need to complete all these steps while taking off as little time from work as necessary.

^^^^^


fine, next time!

Ok, here's like the 6 least blurry pictures I took tonight, and that's not saying a lot.

Mark, turbo sounds great. Sorry I was a little slow, I had a cop pull in a little after me, so I didn't want to push my luck (this was just right before that stop light where you were at a red for a while and I rolled in just in time for the green). Natick cops are just nasty (nothing better to do). Still, better a 45-mph road with two lanes (rt 9) than a 1-lane 30mph road w/ a cop riding your ass (rt 30 and 20).

By the way, it was a good time, hope y'all liked the food.

 

[bazooka joe]

food was excellent!! good choice man! i had a good rool on rte 9, couple of nasty bumps on that side street, rocked my jaw!! thanks again!

 

[ZoomThis]

Yeah, it was a good time and good food. Good to meet everyone! Cannot wait for the next meet!

 

[Protege52003]
