There was a <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">HUGE </span>line to get in...to be expected with DJ AM in town and also at one of Boston's most popular bars.  The line moved pretty fast, we got in and back in another line to check our coats (so glad we don't have to deal with this in LA). </div><div><img src="http://www.gypsybarboston.com/uploads/events/djamFeb20350.jpg" border="0" /><br /></div><div><br /></div><div> </div><div><img name="slideshowpicture" src="http://render-2.snapfish.com/render2/is=Yup6aQQ%7C%3Dup6RKKt%3Axxr%3D0-qpDJfRt7Pf7mrPfrj7t%3DzrRfDUX%3AeQaQxg%3Dr%3F87KR6xqpxQPPGxJ0QxnGaxv8uOc5xQQQa0ol0oPGPGqpfVtB%3F*KUp7BHSHqqy7XH6gX0QJJl%7CRup6lQQ%7C/of=50,590,442" width="590" height="442" /><br /></div><div>AM!</div><div><img name="slideshowpicture" src="http://render-2.snapfish.com/render2/is=Yup6lQQ%7C%3Dup6RKKt%3Axxr%3D0-qpDJfRt7Pf7mrPfrj7t%3DzrRfDUX%3AeQaQxg%3Dr%3F87KR6xqpxQPPGxJ0QxnGaxv8uOc5xQQQa0ol0PoQ0PqpfVtB%3F*KUp7BHSHqqy7XH6gX0QJGe%7CRup6aQQ%7C/of=50,332,442" width="332" height="442" /><br /></div><div>Meaghan and I</div><div><br /></div><div><img name="slideshowpicture" src="http://render-2.snapfish.com/render2/is=Yup6aQQ%7C%3Dup6RKKt%3Axxr%3D0-qpDJfRt7Pf7mrPfrj7t%3DzrRfDUX%3AeQaQxg%3Dr%3F87KR6xqpxQPPGxJ0QxnGaxv8uOc5xQQQa0ol0ooJJlqpfVtB%3F*KUp7BHSHqqy7XH6gX0QJlQ%7CRup6lQQ%7C/of=50,590,442" width="590" height="442" /></div><div><img name="slideshowpicture" src="http://render-2.snapfish.com/render2/is=Yup6aQQ%7C%3Dup6RKKt%3Axxr%3D0-qpDJfRt7Pf7mrPfrj7t%3DzrRfDUX%3AeQaQxg%3Dr%3F87KR6xqpxQPPGxJ0QxnGaxv8uOc5xQQQa0ol0PaGo0qpfVtB%3F*KUp7BHSHqqy7XH6gX0QJGJ%7CRup6lQQ%7C/of=50,590,442" width="590" height="442" /><br /></div><div>My new best friend -Jada.

The town is super neat and is full or young people and unique stores and restaurants due to the fact that there are several colleges nearby. We went to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Fiore</span> II, an <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Italian</span> restaurant with yummy garlic rolls. During dinner we discussed getting a team together to compete in a serious trivia night at <a href="http://annaliffeys.com/theliffeyhome.html">Anna Liffey's Irish Pub</a> on Tuesday nights. <br /><br />On the way home from dinner I stopped in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocky_Hill,_Connecticut">Rocky Hill </a>(my future home) to buy some new shoes. Most of my clothing has not arrived yet and the shoes I packed are too nice for CT at this time. Because of the cold weather and snow the streets and sidewalks are salted and the salt does a great deal of damage to shoes especially leather. While shopping I noticed this in the restroom...<br /><br /><img name="slideshowpicture" src="http://render-2.snapfish.com/render2/is=Yup6aQQ%7C%3Dup6RKKt%3Axxr%3D0-qpD0fRt7Pf7mrPfrj7t%3DzrRfDUX%3AeQaQxg%3Dr%3F87KR6xqpxQPPGxJ0QxnGaxv8uOc5xQQQaolanaQe0JqpfVtB%3F*KUp7BHSHqqy7XH6gX0QJol%7CRup6lQQ%7C/of=50,590,442" width="590" height="442" /><br /><br /><br />Yes, toilet seat covers. But its strange here in CT the toilet seat covers are located outside of the stalls. If you are from CT its normal to grab one of these before entering the stall but if you're from CA its not exactly a habit...I'm trying to adjust<br /><br /><br />It was usually hot today @ 60 degrees! I was able to wear a dress with tights and a light weight coat. The boss took us out for a 2.5 hour lunch. So far I love working out here! It was my welcome lunch as well as the farewell lunch to the girl that is rotating out of the group. We went to Olive Garden. It was a great way to get to know my coworkers and boss outside of the work setting. It was hilarious.<br /><br /><br />After work <a href="http://ian.tipsytree.com/">Ian</a> and I <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Skyped</span> for an hour or so.
