No, I want to talk about Boston. I have to visit there in June. Never been there. Want to tell me about what I should expect or where I should go?

June's a good month. Of course, the Bruins will still be playing, so you can catch a game. Boston is like, the first American city or something, and it's sorta obvious. Driving is a nightmare, because no one envisioned cars when the roads were designed. There's the Freedom Trail, which is a tour that highlights the birth of the country. Fenway Park is something to see if you like baseball. I think it's the oldest MLB park around, and was designed in 1912. People back then must have been a lot smaller and required bathroom trips much less frequently.

The North End is the Italian section. Great restaurants. Lots of mafia guys. Hanover Street has some great eats. Mike's Pastry shop has these legendary canollis.

Definitely check out Cambridge. You'll see Harvard and all it's students (you know... Asians). And the street performers are out of this world. I could spend a whole day watching them. Great scene if you're into the artsy-fartsy, overly educated, let's-see-a-film-instead-of-a-movie crowd (I dig that crowd).

And I cannot recommend enough checking out the show Shear Madness. It's at the Charles Playhouse on Warrenton Street, and it's been playing in Boston for a thousand years (I'm estimating). It's fucking hilarious. It's at a small joint, not expensive, and just a guaranteed win of a night.

Newbury Street is where all the bohemians do their shopping. It's pretty cool. And Faneuil Hall is probably a must see. It's a market place that's 250 years old and it's got all these wicked cool shops and more street performers and restaurants where you can get some clam chowdah.

Boston's a huge college town so it's got lots of liberal, earthy, granola types. But we have plenty angry assholes, too. You'll see them as soon as you get on the subway.

If you can, try to check out Cape Cod (about an hour away). Fucking beautiful.

Go to Fenway. Go to The Fours for dinner and get the "Bobby Orr".
