FanGraphs Meetup in Boston: August 16th
With several FanGraphs authors descending on Boston for the 2013 Saber Seminar, we’ve decided to put together a meet up. On Friday night, August 16th, we will be gathering at The Mead Hall in Cambridge beginning at 7 pm. The Mead Hall has over 100 beers on tap, and we’ll hang out in their upstairs area and watch the first game of the Red Sox/Yankees series.
Among the FanGraphs crew in attendance:
David Appelman
Dave Cameron
Paul Swydan
Bill Petti
Steve Slowinski
David Laurila
Carson Cistulli
Because a lot of smart baseball folks will be in town for the weekend conference, expect a few guests — perhaps some even named Bannister, Brooks, and Pavlidis, potentially — to be there as well. If you haven’t been to a FanGraphs meet up before, it’s a great time to just watch baseball and interact with others who generally think math is okay.
We look forward to seeing you guys there.
Dave is the Managing Editor of FanGraphs.
Is it 21+?
Presumably. The Mead Hall is a bar.
Looks like a bar/restaurant.
Pretty much primarily a bar. I lived about a five minute walk away from the place until about two weeks ago.
Sure, they serve food, but the place is for drinking, they’re not going to let under-21’ers in at game time.
Sorry to say, but you’re out of luck.
You can do that in Pa, but I don’t know the Mass laws. When I was 18 I went to a bar every week with a group I bowled with. I ordered lots of food, just no alcohol.
It sucks you’re turning 21 in 120 years.
I don’t get it…..
his username has 2112 in it. Now do the math 😉
just as Russell implied I didnt know that a mother can get paid $6130 in four weeks on the computer. have you seen this web page……. Yad7 com
Russell’s implications are true. He is quite the pimp.
No ENO? Who will I talk Lucas Duda with?
And no Mike Newman? How am I supposed to pester him about Garin Cecchini?!
This is a travesty!
Go Red Sox fans though!
If Fangraphs ever comes to Philadelphia, can we just form an angry mob and riot Amaro’s office instead of a meet up?
come to NY!!!
Come to Berlin
Phenomenal venue choice! I’ll be there!
Come to Toronto please, i hate being 20 and not able to go to these things.
Looking forward to it!
Sounds fun. How many people are usually at these sorts of things?
Good thing Jeff will be hanging out with me, Felix, Seags, and Bobby Ayala. Always a good night with the gang
I can’t wait to attend! Thank you all for organizing this!
I fly into Boston from Chicago late night Friday and won’t be able to attend. Will see you guys at the conference instead. Can’t wait!
I’ll be there, looking forward to meeting several of the FanGraphs crew for the first time.
shucks. i bought spinners tickets for that friday night since i didn’t think anything else was happening. oh well, see you guys at the seminar.
nice! will try to make it. need to find out once and for all if cistulli is a real person or not.
if anyone’s on the fence, they serve all beers in the brewery’s own style-appropriate glass, which is kind of unnecessary but awesome.
One of you lucky girls might get to visit DC’s hotel room later too.
Will be there for sure. Cannot wait.
Looking forward to it – one of my fave bars from my Boston days.
Dave Cameron: your ESPN article on the Tribe is, in a word, bizarre. With cherry-picked stats (and omissions) and weak arguments (young players are not supposed to improve?), I can’t help but think you were asked by ESPN to write an article with the title “Why the Indians’ Success Won’t last”, and you obliged.
I will be in town for the conference (and just because I live in Boston) — I’ve never met any of the people who are planning to be in attendence or even have the slightest idea of what any of you look like. Friday nights can be pretty crowded at Mead Hall…is there any way I’ll be able to locate you in the bar so I know who to talk to?
As the post mentions – they’ll be upstairs, where it’s a lot easier to locate people.
BeerGraphs East meetup? No? Dammit.
Ill be there after the game. Provided you guys are still there
Is there any plan for any kind of a meet up on Saturday evening? I’ve got an invitation I can’t really refuse on Friday, but I’m attending the conference.
If not, I might just try to harass people in to it.
I’m not sure if David Cone is going to be doing the Yankee-Red Sox game Friday night but if he is, you guys should get him to show up to this after the game. He’s probably the best analyst in baseball because he makes jokes about getting drunk and talks about sabermetrics. Why not combine the two things?
Damn I miss living in Boston. Hartford just ain’t the same.
Jealous. Mn would love to host you guys …for a mn-Mets matchup this Monday….not nearly as cool because its rotobanter and not fangraphs, twins and Mets instead of yanks and sox, Monday vs. Friday and well… minneapolis vs. Boston.
How am I only seeing this now? Love Mead Hall too. Second best beer list in Boston.
What’s the best?
Publick House. Neither technically in Boston-proper.
Does Fangraphs ever plan on having a meetup in Toronto?
Odd Question, but why didn’t we do a Red Sox-Yankee game meetup?
