Macworld Expo Comes Back To Boston in 2004
analog_line writes "According to this article in Business Today, in 2004 the summer Macworld Expo will move from New York City and the Javits Center back to Boston, where it rightfully belongs! As a Boston area resident, I'm ecstatic! Can't tell you how much I look forward to not having to go to New York. ;-)" This was rumored a few months ago, and I am glad to see it happen.
apple sucks the ass.
Yeah, mod me down, I'm trying to get a FP, won't happen though.
Boston is not set up to run these large conventions.
The fact that the number of cabs have been fixed since, what, 1932? and the second-rate town fueds between cabbies from Boston or Cambridge not being allowed to pick up fares in the other town just means that it's difficult to attend conferences there and get around.
Can I say how impressed I am about the T stopping at 12:30AM? (esp when bars are open until a raging 1AM - almost like a real city).
That might have changed, but I worked in clubs for years. Had to park at 2PM, go home or out and do my day. When I got out of work at 3AM, well, cabs are hard to find. The T is stopped (don't drink and drive, but we'll stop transit before the bars).
I hate the yankees as much as any good bostonian, but at least I can drink until 5AM if I want and hop on a subway to about anywhere any time of the night. Or get in one of billion taxis.
Javitts is inconvenient, and it sucks, but at least you don't need to have your show in TWO places with busses. At least its 4 hours drive from about 20% of the population. (DC, Philly, Boston &c).
Let's go to boston when the decide to become a real business town and perhaps when the roads and routes are consistent one week to the next.
