boston at night

a last visit to drink....

bartender creates liquid fire















neena's! <3

















my favorite boston building - south station

mfa part II - chihuly

despite having tickets, we attempted to go to the chihuly exhibit like four times before we were finally successful because the lines were so ridiculously long.











turns out the people who go to museums on tuesday afternoons are really old or disabled or both.

















so despite the fact that the exhibit was actually really cool...












i would rate the overall experience as unpleasant. also, i forgot my hair tie.












highly acclaimed painting of randomly naked man getting eaten by a shark.












distant relatives


















manufactured by mr. sax himself
















the best exhibit - old ladies in matching outfits

wally's cafe

we did not go here tonight because adam is lame. we did, however, go earlier in the summer, and we were able to witness some awesome jazz as well as some equally awesome dance moves.














banksy?

the other side

looks like dog food, tastes like vegan paradise















this is what "at capacity" looks like, such that one would have to wait 20 minutes to be seated

boston common II

can't be tamed

local 149

delicious charcuterie plate, as adam had so foolishly opted out at the salty pig


















adam's incredibly life-like portrait of me












delish

salty pig

fat face

mfa

gem exhibit. overall, a disappointment. this was probably the best thing and it was before you even entered. i suppose i'm probably spoiled after the london natural history museum, but come on.











acceptable burial vessel













boring














not good enough











moving on


















best room. love.

heat wave

across the street from work

drink

i'm not usually much of a cocktail person, but holy hell. they made me a champs elysees (http://thecocktailcircuit.blogspot.com/2007/01/champs-elyses-cocktail.html) which was utterly sublime.

mommy j admiring the glass flowers exhibit. pretty sweet.


















bugs


















larger bugs

















more colorful bugs














butterflies
















the cheerful crowd

revere beach

pros: sand, water, 24 flavors of soft serve ice cream


cons: apparently not conducive to engagement

4th o july

thanks to rachel's generous invite, adam and i were privy to a pretty spectacular view of the fireworks.














































BOOM

the lower depths

the lower depths was one of my favorite bars. we went about a million times, but this picture seems to be the only one i have. enjoy.



pros: the lower depths is cash-only. show me the money.
