Woo woo! I is here! In the Boston Graticuzzle! Yeah, no car = fail. I'll get there whenever possible, but that's not very often - if it's within maybe 10-15 miles of my house I'll bike, or sometimes take the T. I made a script which tells me approximate distance in miles (Annoying: Given long and lat of two points on a globe, find the surface distance.) and opens up google maps

I'll try to bring Apples to Apples, Blokus, Unspeakable words, laptop, and lots of magnets.
