We're doing Veeky Forums meetups in Boston. At Trident Booksellers & Café on Newbury Street. Next one sometime in January.
Email bostonliterature at gmail if you're interested.
>Why?
If you've been to university organizations, reading groups, or hung out in a cafe up here, you've noticed the stifling eggshell-walking culture. And also that no one reads Veeky Forums books.
>What?
Something in the vein of Ben Franklin's Junto. Discussion, critique, even a Veeky Forums oriented rag for exercising yr writing/editing/design muscles.
If I ever go to America I need to go to one of those meetups, to see what kind of people you are
John Russell

Eli Torres
Where in Boston is Commonwealth?
Kayden Lewis

John Cox
I couldn't imagine you meant Commonwealth the bookstore... It's at Trident so we can sit, drink & chat.
Logan Nelson
I was thinking something much more clandestine feeling and gayer, MB.
Andrew Smith
Why would I want to meet you and your group of soyboys?
Elijah Reyes

Luke Hall
I'm a girl, am I going to be molested or stared at or ignored or lightly insulted en lieu of having my thoughts considered?
Isaiah Moore
Before I start a dedicated thread for this:
Would anybody be interrested in a meetup in Frankfurt am Main?
Kevin Martin

Brayden Richardson
>mfw harvard email addresses
Colton Price
Why don’t we meet up at a bar or something instead of fucking trident
Jack Perez
It's very possible we will be banned from Trident
Benjamin Bennett
If you make stupid mistakes like thinking in lieu is en lieu then yeah probably
Hunter Phillips
not everyone is old enough to get into a bar
Jacob Nguyen
Look it up, pseud. You monoglots make me laugh.
Aiden Miller
How funny and charismatic. I bet you have a beard.
Jayden Thompson
What's it like living in Boston with MIT, Harvard, and Boston college all around you? Is it a city of extreme high IQers? Is it Veeky Forums the city?
Josiah White
None of those are in Boston. And thank God.
It's a Veeky Forums city by American standards. And yes, Massachusetts has the highest average IQ in North America. This isn't a good thing, necessarily. High IQ people can be boring and mean and over-concerned with status signaling. Sometimes it's hard not to fall over yawning.
Kayden Moore
What about it
Samuel Johnson
I'll pay up to $100 for your panties on the day, no joke I want to inhale your fumes
Easton Barnes
Boston is the least Veeky Forums city imaginable
Nicholas Thompson
Compared to...? LA? Chicago? NYC? Portland? Austin? Boston is like the anti-meme city.

Ryder Sanchez

Austin Parker
Hahahaha no.
Jack Peterson
Monsters
Hudson Hill
Boston is filled with lawyers and bureaucrats that were too mediocre in Uni to get a job in NYC
Kayden Ramirez
Idk I got a job at two different hedge funds in NYC but passed on them to work in Boston b/c NYC is for idiots.
Parker Gonzalez

Samuel Reed
Really thin dirty haired spectacled fags tickling each other’s toes under a cafe table topped with manga, fantasy, and completely full coffee cups
Justin Ross
"Try to rape" meaning staying in your dorm, wondering how it went.
Zachary Edwards
One guy sitting alone with two flirty hallucinations of himself, talking into the black of his coffee.
En lieu makes no sense unless you're adding something before it (ie: en tout lieu, en premier lieu, en lieu sûr,etc...). You would say au lieu de or au lieu que...
t. native French speaker

Fuck hipster-effete-bisexual Newbury Street and the whole-foods-eating, $8-mochacino-latte-sipping pseudo intellectual yuppies who go there.
Metro West 4 life.
Tyler Thomas
>Enfield >Metrowest Come on now.
Jack Gonzalez
>"Much of the novel Infinite Jest takes place in a city called Enfield, Mass.; David Foster Wallace has confirmed that he took the name from the town, but geographic cues make clear that the town in the novel is not the actual Enfield, and is instead a fictional stand-in for Brighton. The Enfield Tennis Academy and Ennet House, major locations in the novel, are located there."
Why is Boston better than NYC for any type of finance? Alternatively, what do you mean by "idiots"?
Adrian Campbell
Come on now, my come on now was to your calling Wallace's Enfield Metrowest which you come on nowed proving my point with a goshdang link. Come on now.
James Reed
You will be killed if you read milk and honey. Same goes for males.
