nice to be able to put names to faces. Ginger isnt( but i know her real name :) )
it amazes me how easily it appears to have a GTG in US and Asia, but in UK we've managed 1. a brilliantly organised one, but still only 1. i think it has a lot to do with ease of travel as getting anywhere in UK is a nightmare.
lovely selection of watches and beers.

Ah.....yes; Ginger is really.......
called "Bob" with a cunning plan. 
OK OK; you had to be there in the 80s to understand that Blackadder joke.

MTF, i'm english remember,...
episode about 30 times and blackadder II with 'bob' ( a very sexy actress whose
name escapes me) was the best incarnation i think. 'goes forth' was a bit too
melancholy for my liking.
she was also in a...
Liverpool called brookside, something she isnt proud of i think.
Glad to provide the occasion for some amusement
My Anglophilia is rooted in a earlier era - Gilbert and Sullivan. "She may very well pass for forty-three in the dusk with a light behind her."
I hope you fellows will still let me post now that I have been "outed" as an (expectant) grandmother rather than a babe or a cougar.

Oh, The Black Rose...
I have such a vague recollection of stumbling out of that place one St. Patrick's Day evening, 20 years or so a go. It's a true classic.
There's a great Yardbirds song of the same name, Roger . . .

Guys and Gals
I had a GREAT time meeting you all! I was really astounded to meet such a large group of down to earth passionate watch fans here in Beantown. Count me in, if you folks put together another Boston GTG.
BTW, the Pub crawl looks great. Heck, if I'd known about that I might have started a little earlier.

You can lead the charge next May, Marc . . .

Will do!
LOL!!! You're on, Ginger . . .

What a BLAST!
By far one of my favorite PuristS gatherings. Thanks BeanTown PuristS for making this such a great gathering. You are wonderful people and very passionate about watches. Also, a very special thank you to Mike for taking his time out to show us around town, and catch a few brewski's. Thank you to Bill for helping organizing this wonderful gtg. I really look forward to heading back to Boston for round two with all you guys!
Best,
