Harbor Cruise Info [Transportation]:
Due to MBTA operations and a Red Sox Game in the middle of the afternoon, 
we had to modify slightly the schedule:
Our group will depart Kendall at 5:30pm. Here is the way to go:
- 5:30pm: Take the Shuttle Buses at Kendall T-Stop
- Get off at Park Street.
- Walk down the street, pass the church and enter Park Street T-station at 
the LEFT entrance.
- Buy your tokens and get the T on the Green Line, track 4 (direction 
Government Center / Lechmere).
- Get off at Government Center (first stop). Change to the Blue Line 
(direction Wonderland)
- Get off at Aquarium.
- Walk to the boat.
For each of this step, our volunteers in yellow t-shirt will be there to 
indicate you the way to go.
Boarding time is 6:30pm.
Boat leaves at 7pm SHARP.
BE ON TIME and expect a huge crowd along the way.

Harbor Cruise Info [Tix]:
Tickets will be available for purchase at the Warehouse Pr-Cruise Reception 
between 4pm and 5pm; and at the boat between 6pm and 6:30pm.
FYI (for your information ;)): we CANNOT hold or reserve for anybody. If 
you want a ticket, you have to come to us. Thanks.

Night Out on the Town.
Tomorrow Monday September 6 will be our first Night Out on the Town. Two 
venues: Jillians (145 Ipswich street, www.jilliansboston.com) for pool, 
bowling and dancing; and Axis (13 Lansdowne Street) for its gay clubbing 
night. For Axis: get a reduced cover ($5) by signing up to MIT's Guest List 
(send an email to nite at mit.edu before 1pm on Monday). We will depart from 
Ashdown (10pm), and walk to Lansdowne Street (Jillians is at the crossing 
of Ipswich and Lansdowne). It's about 30 minutes walk... and its worth it: 
crossing Mass. Ave. bridge at night is the best way to see Boston's skyline 
and enjoy the city!!

See you at the cruise!!

Sylvain and Eric
