Come enjoy a drink with the cool kids... you know, the ones hanging out in Boston while the social lemmings flee in droves to #SXSW (OK, so we love them and are jealous but really have things to do!)
And no, we don't eat a lot of BBQ here in New England, so come join us for fried clams, lobster, chowdah, and a few beverages at The Summer Shack.
For extra credit - bring your "Top Ten Reasons I'm not at SXSW" (thanks to @pprlisa for the idea!)
