If you need a room or a ride, this would be the place to make a new friend. Please note that this is NOT a place to discuss anime in general. In addition, this is NOT a relationship or solicitation forum, either.

Post by KAIN SLICKER »

This is the first time we're doing this, so please pay attention to the details here

Facebook link: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=169899663040709

Join us for cocktails you wont find anywhere else, watch the Boston skyline, and chill out in the Jazz lounge / bar. Then follow me later, and live life like yer gonna die, as we raid the 'dance' and go party-rampaging.

If there's enough of us, I'll reserve a table for drinks/desserts.

[color:red]Time:
Thursday, April 21 at 11:30pm - April 22 at 2:00am

Location:
Top of the Hub, 50th floor on Prudential Tower, Boston, MA

For those driving in:
800 Boylston Street
Boston, MA 02199
(617) 536-1775

MEETUP PLACE:
We'll meet at the bottom floor first (the entrance way from the mall, into the Top of the Hub elevators) I'll provide a number to call later, when the date draws near

CLOTHES: There is a dress attire, so best advice is to look up Mad Men or Nip/Tuck, and follow something like that. FYI, no ripped jeans, sandals, and etc.

ABOUT MONEY: on average cocktails go from 10-13 bucks. I'm a 10 year veteran of this place, and its worth my money. Bring at least 40, if you want 2 drinks.

Heads up on cash, Johnnie Walker black is 10 bucks, and average for martinis are 10-13 bucks.

Hmm this sounds interesting. I might be interested in going depending on how the finances are looking.

I'm torn. I want to attend but I'm not sure about the dress code part. Guess I'll just have to wait and see.

Hi folks,

Some clarification on the dress code, I got this off the Top of the Hub website:

http://www.topofthehub.net/about_faq.html

Here's a copy of paste of some important stuff:
[color:red]
Top of the Hub FAQs
Q: What is the dress code at Top of the Hub?
A. Business attire is required during lunch in the dining room. More casually dressed diners may dine in the lounge. For both lunch and dinner, business casual or casual chic are appropriate. Jacket and tie are not required. We request that diners remove their hats and refrain from wearing cutoffs or tank tops in the dining room.

Q: Do you validate parking?
A. Parking is discounted with a $10.00 purchase from any store, restaurant, cart or kiosk in The Shops at Prudential Center. Please remember to have your sales associate stamp your parking ticket once you've made your purchase.[/color]


Also from my personal experience going to TOTH a few times, you are allowed to get a cocktail from the bar, and walk to the lounge to see the band, look out the window, etc etc.

Thanks. Being a Bostonian myself, I know there are swanky places like this to enjoy (around the Pru)

The other place I was thinking of, was SAINT, but that needs a cover charge (which you dont need at Top of the Hub)

Plus, how often is it, you go to a convention, and get to see the skyline, in a lounge, with drinks, and within walking distance of your hotel?

I'm going to draw out a map, and tell people where to meetup, which will be posted later. Where do you think we should meet up though:

at the Sheraton lobby?

or at the "glass doorways" inside the Pru, before we enter the Top of the Hub, on 1st floor?

Hey no bad question at all, and yes 18+ is allright

As long as you wear the right clothing, and if you are drinking das cocktails, carry ID with you.

Otherwise, this place does not card you, or ask for cover charge.

Personally, I think a good meeting place would be outside the glass doorways, near (but not in front of or in the way) of the kiosk that sells tickets to the observation tower. You would take the same elevator up to the Top of the Hub.

Edit: I'm so stupid, I didn't put that I plan to attend :) My crew may not want to though and we tend to spend Thursday nights together so I will see.

Question about dress code for those who have been here before. Thursday I'll be in light Gothic aristocrat / Victorian gentlemens costume see http://www.gentlemansemporium.com/store ... ens_02.php for similar. Would that be too much? Should I change back into my business casual work clothes or would this be ok do you think?

Hey Staren,

I looked at the link, and that is fine. You've inspired an idea actually: I need my 'Mad Men' suit and that Rorscach hat

Thanks for the second opinion. I figured it would be alright, but a second look never hurts. You never know how some people may view the line between clothing and costume. Hope to meet everyone tomorrow.
