For more than 20 years the Boston Beanstalks have gathered on the first Friday night of the month at the Riverbend Lounge (formerly the Windjammer) at the Newton Marriott. This is the biggest regularly scheduled event on our calendar. It's not uncommon to see 40 or more tall people here, and you won't be the only new or prospective member! This is the place to start your social calendar planning, arrange carpooling for various events, and find out what's going on with all your Tall friends. If there's enough interest, we'll head into the restaurant around 8:00 PM to continue the conversation and get something to eat. Location: Marriott Hotel, 2345 Commonwealth Avenue (Rt. 30) in Newton
Time: 6-8 PM, usually dinner afterwards to 10pm
Cost: optional drinks
Directions: Rt. 128 to exit 24 (Rt. 30). At the end of the ramp, go right. The Marriott is just ahead on your left. More on the Newton Marriott

Even though our local lads didn't make it to the SuperBowl this year, the game is still a good excuse for a little merry-making on a Sunday evening. The Stockyard has a great comfy bar area, plenty of TV screens, great grub and attentive bar-tenders - i.e. you will not starve or die of thirst there (my kinda place!). So c'mon down and relax over a few brews, some yummy appetizers, and vote for the best ad (or best player or cheer-leader's butt, whichever you find more relevant!).
NOTE:
We do need to know roughly how big the group will be so that we can grab a big enough booth or enough seats at the bar.
Please RSVP to the event listing on Meetup by Sunday noon to give us an accurate head/butt count. Robyn will be away on vacation Jan. 25th - 30th.
If you have any questions re: the event, please e-mail her via Meetup since she will not be within cellphone range while she is away. Directions, menu and more info available from their web-site at:
The Stockyard
The Stockyard does have its own off-street FREE parking lot
Even so: Arrive early to make sure you can get a spot
SuperBowl Sunday is BUSY

Come join your Beanstalk friends for dinner and a movie. Unfortunately the Circle Cinema closed permanently in September. So we'll start at the Applebee's next door to the old Circle Cinema for dinner, then drive to the Chestnut Hill AMC Theater for the movie (it's only 5 minutes away). If you come on the T, we'll make sure you get a ride with somebody. Regular price for the movie $10.00. However, Tuesday is "Senior Day", so if you're 60 or older it's only $6.00. Those that come to dinner get to help pick the movie for the evening. The first to arrive will grab a table at Applebee's (next to the old Circle Cinema) around 6:15 PM. During dinner we will review what movies are playing and have a start time between 7:30 and 8:00 PM. Whatever the majority can agree on is what we'll see. When you RSVP Marie will respond with her cell phone number so if you're running late and can't make dinner, you can find out what movie we've decided to see and when it starts. Please don't come without RSVPing. Last month we ended up canceling dinner and eating in the theater instead because the movie we all wanted to see started to early to eat at Applebee's. I need to know who to contact if plans change. Address for the Theater is:
