<p>(((smacking hand on forehead))) Of course, Sam Adams beer! And how about some lobsta gummies.</p>
<p>“I would get started on some questions but I am making chowda.”</p>
<p>No, ebeeeee, you would get stahted on some questions… :)</p>
<p>Citgo sign. Make Way For Ducklings. Duck Boats. A box of pizza from Pizzeria Regina (North End). An MBTA car.</p>
<p>Are they big Chicago sports fans? It hurts me to suggest this, but how about a game of darts with some of the Boston players - Sox, Celtics, or Patriots - on the board? </p>
<p>If someone has a big screen tv you can set up the xbox or play station and play the MLB, NFL, NBA, or NHL games with Chicago vs Boston teams (Can you tell I live with males only?).</p>
<p>The suggestions for a Lobster or Clam Bake were good.</p>
<p>Reginas Pizza - Mmmmmm!</p>
<p>Mike’s Pastries.</p>
<p>ah cawse my sweet baboo… Sahrry.</p>

<p>That is Boston Blasphemy! :)</p>
<p>I know EPTR. I’m sorry. I was trying to help out Pizzagirl with some activities that Chicago folks might like to do at a Boston theme party. I hope my Boston friends can forgive me.</p>
<p>The Freedom Trail, the “Gahden” - A few years ago we were somewhere in Florida and the whole bar ended up singing Charley on the MTA, so I guess for people of a certain age group, the Kingston Trio is a well know group.
I do believe Legal Seafoods does ship - gotta get the chowda.</p>
<p>I like the Tea party idea.</p>

<p>^^^</p>
<p>Allright, BUandBC, I’ll forgive you but these Boston transplants need to throw some dahhhts at some pictures of the NY Yankees if they want to learn how to get along around heah.</p>
<p>Watch The Departed, Mystic River, and Good Will Hunting. </p>
<p>Along with “Dirty Water”, for a real Boston anthem you have to play The Modern Lovers’ “Roadrunner”. Other Boston classics not already names include Morphine, The Lemonheads, Juliana Hatfield, Blood Oranges, 'Til Tuesday (Aimee Mann the solo artist seems to belong to California), Patty Larkin.</p>
<p>Yankees S*ck tee-shirts.</p>
<p>An old episode of Spencer for Hire.</p>
<p>^^^ I forgot about that show !! I saw Robert Ulrich walking around Faneuil Hall back in the days of Spencer ! And also Peter Wolf and Seth Justman ( and got autographs when I was about 18 )</p>
<p>Rowing…on the Charles (If you need party decoration, there are probably Head of the Charles posters somewhere on the web)</p>
<p>Boston Pops Orchestra…Esplanade 4th of July concert in on PBS every year. Surely some of the guests at the party will know about it…</p>
<p>Old Ironsides, Bunker Hill…and any of the Freedom Trail stuff.</p>
<p>Cheers!</p>
<p>1 if by land…2 if by sea Could have some tables with one candle and some with 2…see if people can figure it out! </p>
<p>“Good bye” stories/verses in the style of Longfellow, Emerson or Thoreau</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Oh - good one! They are big White Sox fans, so at a minimum, I could be more charitable than throwing darts at pictures of players, and do something with the theme of “Goodbye White Sox, hello Red Sox.”</p>
<p>Thanks for all the ideas!</p>
<p>Wow, JHS - Modern Lovers’ “Roadrunner.” Hadn’t heard that song in ages. Very nice.</p>
<p>It strikes me as the Boston equivalent to what the Aliotta-Haynes-Jeremiah song “Lake Shore Drive” is to Chicagoans, though the LSD song is gentler. Just evocative of that teenage driving around, first taste of freedom, no place to go and no place I’d rather be type of feeling. Well played.</p>
<p>I thought everyone over 50 knew of the Kingston Trio?</p>
<p>Anyway - Boston Baked Beans. If you can’t make them then subsitutue B&M and try and find some brown bread (B&M and it comes in a can). Bring in some live lobsters and steam 'em up.</p>
<p>The movie “Fever Pitch”. Anything Red Sox, Patriots, Celtics or Bruins. (Even though the Pats play in Foxboro).</p>
<p>I’d go with Boston/New England food–chowder, lobster, steamers, quahogs, oyster stew, oysters on the half shell–get Jasper White’s Cooking from New England and you can find lots of recipes. If you’re not into cooking, you can get seafood shipped from Legal’s to all parts of the country.</p>
<p>Dropkick Murphys! Barbara Lynch food or Jodie Adams. Absolutely go with the Sam Adams beer. Also, Bostonians are inordinately fond of our ice-cream; Herrells, Lizzy’s etc. Lizzy’s does “sundaes in a box”; ice-cream, toppings, bowls etc.</p>
