[Asterisk-Users] Last call: Asterisk BoF in Boston, Tuesday 23rd
Hello - The final schedule for the Asterisk birds-of-a-feather meeting (as an adjunct to the VON conference) in Boston looks like this: Tuesday, September 23rd at 8:15 at VinnyT's of Boston near the Hynes Convention Center. We'll try to get a corner booth in the "downstairs room", and look for the guy wearing the blue button-down shirt with VON logos on the breast pocket - that will be me. JT Details: Vinny T's of Boston Back Bay 867 Boylston Street Boston MA 617.262.6699 Directions: From I-90 (Mass Turnpike): Go to the Prudential Center, Copley Square exit. When you exit, it splits; follow the signs to the Prudential Center (left side of split). When you come up out of the tunnel, you will be on Huntington Ave. Take the next 3 right hand turns and you will be on Boylston St. Vinny's is located between Gloucester and Fairfield Streets, directly across from the Prudential Building. From the Central Artery (from the South Shore and the North Shore): Take the Storrow Drive exit from the Artery and follow the signs to the Back Bay (it is a left turn exit). Turn right at the first light and go Gloucester St. Turn left. Gloucester ends at the intersection with Boylston St. Turn left and Vinny's is immediately on the left, directly across from the Prudential Building. From the Orange Line on the "T": exit at the Back Bay stop, use the Dartmouth Street Exit. Walk down Dartmouth to Boylston St. Turn left on Boylston St. and go 2.5 blocks (between Fairfield and Gloucester). Vinny's will be across the street from the Prudential Building (which you should be in front of). From the Green Line on the "T": Take any OUTBOUND Green train. You can get off at either Copley (which is in front of the Public Library), or Convention Center (which exits on Mass Ave.). From the library, Vinny's is 3 blocks left. From the Mass Ave exit of the "T", turn left, walk .5 blocks to Boylston St., cross the bridge and Vinny's is 1.5 blocks from the fire station you will pass. The major cross streets in the Back Bay are alphabetically named: Arlington Berkely Clarendon Dartmouth Exeter Fairfield Gloucester If you get lost, all the streets are one way, so just make a right loop or a left loop to the correct cross street and these will take you back to Boylston. Or if all else fails, look up at the skyline. Find the Prudential Building-we are across the street!!!
