excellent! thanks for the pointers. i'll definitely take my fiddle with me then, and try and find some of these sessions. contrary to what i said, i'm actually arriving tuesday afternoon, so (jetlag permitting) i'll try and make it to matt murphy's. i'm looking forward to it already!

any more suggestions are very welcome. apart from wednesday, i think i've got every evening off (incl. saturday).

by the way, i've got a neat little folding bicycle which i was wondering about bringing out, to save a taxi ride or two. how big is Boston? would i find it useful?

thanks peeps; maybe i might bump into some of you next week!
