Early musings on alternatives to the corporate John Harvard's pre-game

So, for those of us not interested in the corporate takeover of John Harvard's prior to the @Harvard game on Feb 16, I thought I would start this thread to get people thinking about possible alternatives. My vote would be for Cambridge Common: it's a little more than 2x the distance from the rink as JH's, but it's also a better restaurant and tap house, and anyway I don't mind walking. An advantage for folks from out-of-town is that street parking in that area (the no-man's land between Harvard Sq. and Porter Sq.) is easier to come by.

It's less corporate this year. They listened to feedback and lowered the price (actually, they got Alumni Affairs to subsidize it).

Given that, and given that they're renting out the whole place, I'm inclined to give it a shot this year.

As long as I can sneak away from training in Rhode Island, (stupid Navy scheduling training for when the Hahvahd game is happening) Beer Darts is a must. As are growlers from Harpoon.

I still have your beer dart from St Paul from Mr. Beer Dart. Should I send it to you?

There is the potential for a fate worse than death: your Blue might spill. :`-(

The only way that could be any better would be if one of them was holding a baby.

You have to put the baby down in the snow, or you don't have a free hand for your dart and another for your side beer.

Just so we all agree that hitting the baby is at minimum a two-drink penalty.
