Hey Adam, If you have a spare, send it to adamrocks@kivers.com Thanks!

I am also going. Can't wait since I am one of those PC converts. I have a few passes for those that need one. One is from Radtech and the other from Intego. They sent them to me but I already had a pass from the macworld expo website. List the email and I'll send the pdf.

Are any sites still giving away free passes? I'd love to go, but haven't gotten an exhibit hall pass yet, and free is always good. ;)

I'm in! But, you already knew that Scott. I see that the convention is actually at the Hynes convention center, not at the big new convention center in Southie. That's right on the Green Line, at the aptly named Hynes stop. So, for affordability, you might like this hotel. It's not in Boston, but it's right at the end of the "D" line, a one-seat ride.

You might want to try the Colonnade Boston (http://www.colonnadehotel.com/) although I don't know how reasonably priced it's going to be.

Welcome to Boston! I hope to meet up with you guys. The Lennox is an incredibly nice hotel. Meeting up in the lobby could be interesting as it's a fairly upscale place. If there are going to be a ton of people they might not be so interested in a bunch of apple folks putting around in the lobby. Plus if memory serves me well it might not be the biggest lobby, but honestly it's been awhile since I've been there. I checked on the bookings page and it looks like most of the hotels in the vacinity are booked up. My buddy lives downtown in the North End. I'll ask him what he thinks your best options are for a hotel near the Hynnes.

Two close (and affordable) hotels are the Hilton Back Bay and the Boston Marriott Copley Place, if they still have rooms.

Hey all - none of this dissin' on Boston! Hynes Convention Center is right on Boylston St. where plenty of cool bars can be found - the Cactus Club, Bukowski's and The Pour House, just to name a few. There is also the Prudential Center and its assorted restaurants for those looking for something a bit more tame (and quiet). Hotel bars are good too, namely Solas (in the bottom of the Lenox). TUAW can make its own fun! Anyone interested in a Wed or Thurs night social instead?
