Yeah, still worth it though. In a few years I’ll be asking here about how to get the most uncool ever fake ID so I can keep getting these tickets!!

ICA first Fridays parties aren’t black tie but they are the more reliably fashionable recurring event in Boston that I know of. So if you just want to dress fancy but not specifically a tux, or are up for modifying your tux into something a little more groovy, see you first Friday of the month at the ICA!

Plenty of folks in jeans at the symphony too. If you are playing dress up, I recommend getting good seats to be around others more dressed up. Good doesn’t mean expensive — you can get $25 tickets if you’re under 40 down in the front side orchestra, and that’ll do the trick. Also pick a Saturday night.

Join a college choir and you’ll fit right in.

Yeah i quite like Turo and I did check! And if I’m gonna have a rental car sit in the Craftsbury parking lot for four days at least it would be cheaper than one from Boston! But the ones “in Montpelier” are still a drive away from the train station. But I suppose I could take an Uber or Lyft to get the car! So many steps lol

Yeah alas! That’s what I’ve done before, but it seems so silly when it’s just going to sit in the parking lot at Craftsbury for however many days I’m there. Oh well.

Thanks! I gave them a call and they quoted $120 each way from Montpelier, yikes! I was hoping for more like $50-70 for the hour ride.

I did call Craftsbury, and they didn't have any suggestions. :(

Haha, Boston, or sometimes NYC. So anywhere that the bus or train gets me to! I know there are buses from Boston to Montpelier and Burlington, or when coming from NYC it'd be the train to Waterbury looks like? But if there's some town elsewhere on the route that has a local bus service that gets me closer to Craftsbury that'd be great to know!

I wish for you and your friends a week of mostly cold-and-clear with a couple days of fresh snowfall. :)

It will be much colder than you experience in Ireland, but at least you are no stranger to wet. I don’t know why no one is acknowledging the weather in your point of origin though — what Boston in February has got over Ireland is blue skies. If it isn’t snowing, it will likely be very cold under a bluebird sky, and that’s not nothing. Get a cozy cabin in Vermont or New Hampshire to play in the snow for a few days, and bundle up well for your city time, and enjoy!

Reply to When was the last time you saw fireflies near Boston? by jcbouche
I’ve always wondered why there aren’t fireflies here! I grew up in Queens in an area of similar density/vegetation to much of Somerville, and we had fireflies every summer growing up but I’ve rarely seen them around Boston, except on the islands.
