Lynah East (and possibly Dartmouth) Roll Call

Now that this weekend if officially in the books, time to see who's making the trek to the other rick we dominate.

I've been in California for the last couple of years, consigned to the fact I would not see the team play for quite some time. But I was contacted for an interview in Burlington, MA; realizing the oppurtunity this presented, I was able to set it for November 11th, allowing me to fly in for the weekend, and attend both games, something I was never even able to do as a student. Needless to say, if the whole thing goes off seamlessly, this may be my greatest personal victory ever.

(Legal disclaimer: I am actually interested in the job, but I'm also making the most of the situation too.)

I'll be at both, provided I can acquire tickets to Dartmouth. (I'm not anticipating problems, but you never know.)

i will be at harvard w/ a few friends from cornell + my gf who goes to harvard

I'll be at Hahvahd with one Cornell DVM, a Buffalo alum, and an Israeli.

Can't make Dartmouth; I've got a wedding in Saratoga Springs (a Union alum and a Yale women's hockey alum).

Beeeej

At Harvard, doubt Dart. Flying to San Diego early Sun AM.

Not me, and after this weekend, we'll need all the cherring we can get.

I'll be at both

Flying in from Pcola, meeting Susan, who's flying in from Chicago, and spending Friday making signs.

i will be @ harvard (a verrrrrrrrrry long trip) with 45 cornellians (mostly from '04), and 20 of us will be at dartmouth

give me some halls extra strength this week and i'll be good to go

-mike '04

oh, and the 45 of us will be at john harvard's from 430 on!

I'll be at Hahvahd game with 3 friends. Dartmouth most likely won't happen.

I'm going to both, with a group of CU alumni at Harvard, and an ex at Dartmouth.

Is it worthwhile getting Dartmouth tickets in advance or should I not anticipate a problem? She checked it out for me and she said that the guy at the Dartmouth ticket office laughed at her when she asked if I would need a ticket beforehand but I just wanted to make sure.

mol,

from what i understand, thompson arena gets kinda crowded. as a personal mantra, i ALWAYS get tickets before, especially after the 2004 colgate disaster ("worst trip ever" where we drove 2 hours in a blizzard and it was sold out.

and then something about sliding off the road only to get passed by one of the CU buses ... or something like that.
or was that someone else?

that's me. worst trip in the history of all trips ever.

will be @ hahvard with 8 others.

I'm going with five others to both Lynah East and Dartmouth...Let's make 4 points a weekend routine!


LGR!!!!

7 at lynah east, 2 at darmouth

6 for Lynah East. 5 For Dartmouth.

LGR!!!

7 @ Lynah East - considering Dartmouth for probably 2 of us, not sure

We'll be at Harvard barring some unforseen bus catastrophe (knock on wood), but no band at Dartmouth. Sorry, all.

Thanks for the advice.

She's friends with an alleged Dartmouth hockey "fan" who claims that he can smuggle me in for free and get me to sit with them in the student section under the pretense of a Dartmouth student. But they sound like they don't know exactly what they're doing and I'm not sure who I'll be fooling with my Cornell jersey so I'll be calling the ticket office tomorrow morning. Still, if you see a tall redhead going nuts in the middle of Dartmouth undergrads, you'll know how that worked out.

Glop and I will be attending the Harvard game, and will be deciding on the Dartmouth game soon. May go see if Colgate is as good as they looked this past weekend in lieu of the extra 3 hour drive. The fact that the band isn't making the trip also makes me wonder if we should go. That and the free lodging in Boston, but not in New Hampshire. Anybody else going to the Colgate/Harvard sucks game?

I'm midway between the two, so Dartmouth definitely and trying to decide whether to drive down for an hour to the Charles to chance/greet a Crimson scalper.

I'll be at Lynah East, crutches and all.

Kyle

Myself plus one at Lynah East (thanks Fred!)

Not this year. Somebody please send me a Redbones (Davis Square) ribs special. Hold the waitress.

I'm excited for my first trip to Lynah East and Thompson...but I have a few questions (I bet I'm not the only one) for those who have been there before...

1) Do you have any suggestions for places to park in Cambridge for most of the day (2pm-11pm)? I've heard parking is pretty difficult.

2) Do you have any suggestions for a post game drink/bite to eat (for both the Dartmouth and Sucks game)?

3) Are there any additional suggestions or is there any other info I might benefit from about the trip in general?

I've already consulted the CHTG but it is about 3 years out of date and I assume some things have changed. Thanks everyone for your help!

-Rob

ill be with the band at hahvhad, then traveling on to dartmouth with 3 other vet students... i just hope the hahvahd rink lets us have more than 25 instruments, so we dont have half the band sitting out again

redhair,

cambridge parking sucks. park on a side street where the signs say "cambridge residents only" (they don't check friday night through sunday) or anywhere that says "no parking during street cleaning." you won't find parking on mass ave/jfk street by harvard square and the rink has no parking facility. you can also park on western ave on the allston side of the campus or on N harvard street, which are both walking distance from the rink.

i recommend john harvard's (not food food quality, but for atmosphere) before the game. it's located on dunster street by the harvard sq tstop. make reservations. also, their service is notably slow- that's why we're going at 430 instead of 530.

i'd also be interested in getting some recs for places to eat at dartmouth.

-mike

Typically people eat at Everything But Anchovies before the Dartmouth game.

Does that still hold the record for longest eLF thread ever?

No problem!

1) Hahaha... biggest understatement ever . Next thing you'll be telling me that driving around Boston is kinda confusing

My best parking suggestion: don't. At least not near Harvard Square - not for all day. I don't know Cambridge all that much, so perhaps someone has an insider information (i.e. there's a few hidden free parking areas in Boston, so perhaps there's something similar in Cambridge), but other than that, I would suggest turning North at I-95(Route 128) off the Pike, and then heading into Boston on Route 2. Just before the end of Route 2 you get off this little exit off to the right that points to Alewife Station - which the end of the Red line of the T (subway).

According to the MBTA website, parking at Alewife is $5 (I hope that's not per hour, it doesn't say so). And then take the Red line ($1.25 per person) to Harvard Square.

If you're staying in Boston, I would suggest parking at your hotel and taking the red line (and whatever else) to Harvard Square.

All this would mean you'd have to walk to the rink and back to the Harvard Square T, but it's all very walkable (although not short).


2) I can only recommend you stuff on the Comm Ave (BU) stretch, which there's plenty, but you won't be getting there if you follow my above suggestion. But there's plenty in Harvard Square I'd bet, so you'll be fine.


3) Dartmouth is further than you think. Get an early start

I'll be at both with several friends. Looking for some more Dartmouth tickets though.

For the love of God, don't put Olsen in charge of directions.

HAHAHAHA ok.

We don't talk about that weekend. Also, that loss at Union that year we dont talk about. And the QF's too. In fact, it should be more or less a rule that anything relating to the spring of '04 never happened.

As everyone knows, Cornell didn't have a season that year. Just the Everblades tournament.
