Maybe give the neighbors a heads up, tell 'em we're a community bike club and invite them over for some bbq. Also probably keep the alcohol relatively low key (maybe have everyone bring a paper bag?) while it's light out, just in case cops show.
I think we could get away with it though.

The last Silver Line bus to the airport leaves South Station at 12:45, and would only get you there a few hours early as another option. I feel like the airport bars that are past security in other airports I've been in are open all night, not sure if thats the case in Logan though.

I don't have anything on new years planned, so I'm good for anything.
Or at least I don't have anything now!

NYC New Years Eve?
Anybody heading down for the weekend? I was there last year for the Times Up ride and to see friends and there's no better place to celebrate. I'm thinking about the AlleyKitten. I'd consider driving my Exploder rather than dealing with the bikes on the bus and could fit two others and three bikes in there.

Yeah, I ride occasionally with a dude that has a 205. The price on the 301 has dropped so much that I'm trying hard to not pull the trigger, but I may this summer, especially if I can't solve the problems of the computer/hrm that I'm using right now.
I think your fondreist has very similar components to the merckx-- pre99 chorus right? You got a deal. With that price tag, you can swap out the group, and still be way under retail.
I have a friend that picked up a rival group for me from gvh. I'm going to make the upgrades very soon, but the chorus group is amazing in so many ways and I'll be putting it on Gwen's bianchi as part of her Xmas present.
Before I forget, you have to get on this bike that belongs to a girl that Aaron's seeing. It made me feel gigantic.

Yeh, I saw someone link to that fetish in the road forum. Talk about amazing deals. I think it had a BIN originally for something under 2k.
