Note that MassDOT has announced construction detours in the Harvard Square area during July. While it is supposed to be finished by July 15, there is always the possibility that it will run beyond. I suggest monitoring the MassDOT page for updates, and recommending that attendees recheck the Wikipedia Wicnic page for last-minute updates.

Hi Richard and all, 

Thanks!! Yes: it looks like July 16, Sunday, is the best day. How about 1-5p on Sunday? Here's the wiki page: 

Following a suggestion by Joseph Reagle, let's try Cambridge this year - specifically JFK park in Harvard Square. JFK park borders Memorial Drive, which is closed on Sundays in summer to vehicular traffic, so it is a pleasant place to stroll, bicycle, etc. The closest T stop is Harvard Sq., a few blocks away. Map:  

Hope to see you all there!

Hi Wiki-Bostonians,

It looks like Sunday July 16 is the most favored date.

I look forward to taking the bus up from NYC to join :)

Should we set up a page on-wiki?

Thanks,
Richard

Dear all, 

It's that time of year again - the great American Wiknic! This year the main Wiknic dates are July 8-9. However, I've made a poll to see what dates are most popular - July 8 or 9 or the following weekend, July 15 or 16. It will be an afternoon picnic. Take the poll here:


We could go back to the Boston public garden, which was lovely, or the JFK park on the Cambridge side was suggested - better on Sunday when Mem Drive is closed. Let me know any location thoughts. 

I'll let this run for a few days then we can pick a date and a rain date. Looking forward to seeing everyone!

Thanks,
Phoebe
