Boston Poly Event - Feb 16th

[patricia dougherty]

Hey there everyone!

I'm putting together a screening of "When Two Won't Do" at the health
center where I work. I was hoping to get some input from the Boston
area poly community - or individuals in the Boston area.

I'd love to help lead a discussion after the film, my intention is to
provide an educational discussion about the polyamory community,
reflecting on the accuracy of the relationships and language used in
the film.

If anyone could help me out and give me some guidance, I would really
appreciate it! Thanks!

Can't help, but one of my primaries is visiting Boston between 16th and
20th and I was wondering who from here might be around, or whether there
were any poly Boston events happening during those days. She's going
for the International Indoor Rowing Competition, but has some spare time
to meet with others as well.

If any current Poly Boston folks would like to send us info that would
be much appreciated, especially anyone we might have met at an alt
polycon (we were at the one in Brighton, England, and the one in San Diego.)

That sounds like a great idea! Unfortunately, AFAIK there aren't many
Boston people currently here; I forwarded your post to one person.

Particularly if you'd like help from non-Boston people, some more detail
about what you want help with would make it easier.

I believe so. (No, the renaming convention applied to
York, Hampshire, and Jersey did not get used here.)

If we're going down that road, I don't recall the state of the
particular Boston under discussion being named yet. There are at
least 3.

"And this is good old Boston,
The home of the bean and the cod
Where Lowells speak only to Cabots,
And Cabots speak only to God."


umar

I am aware of only one Boston with a substantial poly community.

That said, there are a great many things of which I am at best dimly aware.

Um - I was also assuming it was Boston in the US of A, which is where my
sweetie is headed at great expense for the International Indoor Rowing
Championships.

Oh, that's a shame - I'm not sure who we met who was from that area, but
I'm sure some people must have been.

I've found the online PolyBoston calendar and it seems that apart from
the discussion evening the night she arrives, there is nothing else
scheduled.

No worries, I'm sure the international indoor rowing community will
suffice for a weekend.

I well remember Boston Spa, the home of the British Library's Lending
Division! (Yorkshire IIRC)
