Boston
I haven't been back to Boston since the end of my tenure at OpenMarket c. 2001. (Gads, has it really been that long?) So sitting down in the bar at Chez Henri last night for a cuban and a periodista (ok, two) with Edmond, Holly, Tony and a surprise guest appearance by Gerald Hewes felt like a long delayed homecoming of sorts.
The food was (as always) awesome, the company similarly so, and to put icing on the cake we actually spoke with the man, the mystery, the impossible to get hold of, Eswar Priyadarshan who might actually have time for brunch on Saturday.
After dinner Ed, Holly, and I wandered back to the hotel and had a coffee and a scotch in the lounge, talking 'till just after midnight. I got to sleep a bit after 1, and was up at 6:30 this morning.
Today it's meetings in the morning, and a possible meet up with another ex-OpenMarket type who's recently landed at BBN, killing a bit of time in the afternoon, and then dinner in the dining room at Chez with a group of folks, including Clark and Lisa.
Tomorrow, besides brunch, is unplanned - but I'm sure I can find something to do before my 6pm flight back to SEA.
I miss these people, and this place. If it wasn't for the fact that it snows like the devil in winter, and it's hot and humid in the summer I could probably live here.
