Good catch. I tried searching for a Friendly's earlier, and that one didn't show up.

Why don't we make this the spot? It should have enough room for a bunch of us, and the prices are usually decent, and the breaksfasts are good.
They have men amongst them who know very well what they are about, having been employed as Rangers against the Indians and Canadians and this country being much covered with wood, and hilly, is very advantageous for their method of fighting. . . . ".  Lord Percy

Sounds like New Englanders to me.

Sold.  7:15?

If anyone needs a place to crash, let me know.  I don't have spare beds, but there is plenty of space in my living room for a few people to roll out sleeping bags.

7:00 to 7:15 works for me. I'm usually an early riser when I'm working anyways, so I might get there on the early side.

Alright, this rots... Who_Me? and I can't make both days now - my wife is sick, so the best we can do is a day trip. Any suggestions which day would be better?

From an IBC standpoint, I'll say either

From a rehearsal standpoint I say Saturday - seeing, hearing and feeling the actions of both sides is pretty powerful stuff

Hey Crak - you get those patches made yet?

Yeah, Saturday seems a better deal all around. Looks like we'll be up and on the road at oh-dark-thirty.

That is, if we're not snowed out. We got about 3" here in NW CT - how did we fare along Battle Road?

Just a quick update on the reenactment rehearsal at Lexington Green:

Just heard back from my friend Steve who's commanding the reenactment...

The few inches of slush/wet snow on the Green at the moment is turning out to be more problematic for them than they thought. The current plan (which is subject to change) is to muster at the parking lot at Hartwell Tavern at 10am. They will then run a few musket drills at the station across the street. After that, they will make their way to Minuteman National Park to do formation drills and other musket drills if the park allows. They will most likely not be in full kit (i.e. 100% period dress) for fear of getting them all dirtied up and not ready for the Patriots Day celebration. That may sound weird, but totally understandable when you figure that a proper period-correct outfit can cost much money.

Anyway that's all I know...

What IS it with you and Friendly's, anyway?
Unhappy it is ... to reflect that a brother's sword has been sheathed in a brother's breast, and that the once happy and peaceful plains of America are either to be drenched with blood or inhabited by slaves. Sad alternative! But can a virtuous man hesitate in his choice?

it is probably too late, but for anyone planning to meet at Friendly's, it is actually on Lexington Street in Waltham, not Waltham Street in Lexington.  I found the same bad info online, but I called the Friendly's a little while ago to verify.

Buckman's - Hartwell's - what's the difference...

It was great to meet everyone from New England and KDan from NY this weekend, and certainly our illustrious leader Fred. I am looking forward to the IAAR to add some details and view what must have been 100s of pictures!

I worked out my trip to this event last minute...  actually, late minute.  I found myself free to go on Saturday morning and I'm glad I went.  While it's always nice to see everybody and make new friends, it was even more of a treat to visit the Lexington Green, North Bridge, Merriam's Corner, and Bloody Curve.  I will be back. 

Thanks Guys. 

Bloody Curve (the corner is actually behind me - this is the direction from which the British marched)


Don't like the looks of that rabble over there.



I can't listen to the king's lies anymore!!!
