Sadly, Boston is an expensive place. Public transportation is good though.
If you stayed in say Natick (half hour west of the venue it would be $129 per night at the Courtyard Marriot or $80 or so at a Red Roof Inn (both without a discount for a block of rooms as I havent talked to them yet) and free parking, but then you'd need to park near the event and pay to do so - of course people could and should drive in together to cut down on that cost). I think I paid about $25 Sat and $16 Sun for parking last year.
Another option would be to take the commuter rail in from outside the city but that travel time adds up, and might be more trouble than its worth. |

I am posting this for Rob...
His 2006 calendar did not have Father's Day on it. His wife is ok with the event still being this weekend (after he showed her the calendar  ), but if it's an issue for a significant number of other attendees he can try to move the event. You just need to speak up soon.
Thanks! |

I concur...and at the risk of rankling the feathers of Mr Cyberhare...the proximity to Fire and Ice AND The Venue make this place ideal.
There are also alot of hot college er..umm...students and pubs, etc...all within walking distance. I believe that parking is included with the price of the room, so when you factor in the savings of gas/parking it might not be that much more expensive.

Fraid not, Rob. Parking is close to $30 more per night. It is pricey but incredibly convenient. We just try to pile in as many bodies as possible to lower costs.
So close to Fire and Ice.... |

| I am seriously considering coming to this event, I think I can manage it, should be able to book the time off with no problem, just not sure if I should come down for the week or just come for the weekend. |
