Boston Area Friends: Tonight. The Gladhill/Rhone Crew. Live and in-person. Grendel’s in Cambridge. From 5:30p until they ask us to leave. Hanging around. Hoping many Boston friends and acquaintances come. Open to all. We’d love to see or meet you.
The only day we really have to knock around Boston without commitment is going to be spent checking out author’s homes (Alcott, Emerson, Thoreau) and literary filming locations (Little Women, Good Will Hunting) because we are nerds.
Next round of college visits begin Monday. This time it’s the general New England area…
- Tufts
- Brandeis
- Connecticut College
