319.0. "Monet at the MFA anyone?" by POOKY::OROURKE (SLEEP...I read about that once) Fri Mar 31 1995 17:09

    
    Hi!
    
    A few of us have been talking about going to see the Monet exhibit at
    the Museaum of Fine Arts in Boston.  They have approximately 35 of his
    works on display.
    
    The date we've picked is Wednesday, April 12th.  The MFA is free of
    charge on Wednesday nights and is located right off the Green Line.
    
    If anybody is interested in going, let me know by posting here or
    sending mail and we'll organize a time/place to meet!

    If this is the Monet Exhibituon which visited Melbourne last year,
    don't miss it. 
    
    One or two of the paintings are owned by Aussie used-to-be millionaire,
    Allan Bond.

    I'm verry sorry to tell you all that this exibit
    ended on this past friday.....
    
    Feel free to go, but you won't be seeing Monet.
    
    
    I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings. :(

319.15will check and post replyPOOKY::OROURKESLEEP...I read about that onceMon Apr 03 1995 18:3910
    
    Terrie,
    
    I will call again, but I just spoke to them last week.  OFFICIALLY the
    exhibit did end last week, but that is just because they pulled ONE
    of the 38 paintings then.  I was assured that at least 30 would
    be on display thru the rest of this month.
    
    /jen
    
319.16BABAGI::LUSSIERMon Apr 03 1995 19:037
    
    
    Even if the Monet exhibit is gone, it's still worth the trip
    in if you haven't been there for awhile or have never been there.

319.17Been there, done that...KAMALA::DREYERSoon to be cruising!Mon Apr 03 1995 23:288
	I went three weeks ago to see Monet at the MFA...pretty good exhibit,
	but I thought the Monet exhibit about 5 years ago was much better.
	However, the room that also had other impressionists was quite
	wonderful.  Even though I've seen many of the paintings before it
	was great to see them again!

319.18next Wednesday at the MFA!POOKY::OROURKESLEEP...I read about that onceThu Apr 06 1995 20:0526
    
    Ok folks!
    
    Here's the plan.   Meeting at 7:00 p.m. inside the MFA near the museum
    gift shop (thanks for the floorplan hints Rich!) next Wednesday, April
    12th.
    
    7:00 should be enough time for those of us with crazy jobs to be able
    to get in town in time.  Also, for those that can make it in earlier
    you could always meet for a quick bite to eat!
    
    The MFA is free on Wednesday nights but will accept voluntary
    contributions if you feel so inclined.
    
    The MFA is located at 465 Huntington Avenue (which is Route 9).
    If you are taking the T, you need to get to the Green Line (for example
    from Alewife take the Red Line to Park Street and switch to the Green)
    
    The Green Line forks in multiple directions so be careful...you need to
    take an "E" train (may say ARBORWAY as well) on the Green Line.  Get
    off at the "Museum" stop.
    
    If you want to make sure we're looking out for you, please RSVP here
    to make sure we know to expect you!

Hi Friends!

   Tina just called me, she is doing fine and will come to our gathering tomorrow
   at the MFA at 7pm. She is looking forward to seeing us all.
   ;)
   She asks, whether we'll go out for dinner afterwards. I said we will, and I hope
   some of you will join us....

See you all tomorrow 
Martina

    I'm sad to say that I can't make it tonight.  I was up sick
    most of the night last night, and I'm still not feeling too
    hot.  I don't want to spread my germs and ruin anyone's
    vacation. :(
    
    
    /jen, is anyone from LKG going?  I have a camera in my car with
    about 15 pictures left on the roll.  Will someone bring it and 
    take pictures for me, so I can enjoy your fun at a later date?
    If not, Martina, can I drop it off at LJO for you, and pick it up
    again friday or monday?
    
    Thanks!!!
    
    Terrie
    
319.42see y'all tonight...POOKY::OROURKESLEEP...I read about that onceWed Apr 12 1995 15:2121
    
    RE: .37   Terrie, it was BURGER KING, not McD's! :^)  How could you
    forget  "Hold the pickles Hold the lettuce.  Special Orders don't upset
    us...all we ask is that you let us have it your way.  Have it your
    way...Have it your way"
    
    RE:  .38   The "ANOTHER" refers to a lunch I organized at the Hudson 99
    when I was working in HLO.   What started as a little toss of a kernal
    of popcorn here and there got out of hand, I'm afraid.  By the time the
    group was done you needed a shovel to pick the popcorn and crackers etc
    up off the floor.  To tell you the truth I didn't find it funny at all.
    I USED to be a waitress and they deserve better than having to pick up
    that stuff.   /gina was the only one nice enough to stay and help clean
    up.  
    
    Re: .41  Sorry to hear you're sick Terrie.  :(    I don't have anybody
    on the RSVP list from LKG.    They probably don't allow cameras inside
    the museum anyway.  (/jen who won't mind if there is no camera there!)

Hello Terrie!
   
   I am sorry to hear that you don't feel well. The important thing is now
   for you to get better, not to take pictures of us. ;) There will be
   plenty of time to ban us on film on further gatherings. So take good
   care of yourself, leave work early and.... get better.
   ;)

Hugs,
