The Boston Liberty Drinks group together with the Shire Bitcoin Meetup folks from New Hampshire are launching the first Boston meetup.

We expect to have a lot of great bitcoiners here, including the guys from the MIT Bitcoin Club. If you're anywhere in the area, we'd love to have you. Reply in the thread or PM me for more details.

The meetup will be at the Cambridge Common pub in Cambridge, MA.

The first Boston Bitcoin meetup was a huge success! We had about 30 people from the Boston area and New Hampshire, and made some great connections. We're already planning the next stage of projects. We filled up all three tables in the picture, plus the bar to the right, and the standing area in front of the kitchen.

And here's the infamous Bitcoin transaction that was mistaken for a drug deal by the manager and almost had us kicked out for "soliciting". The manager later came up to us and apologized, and we're going to set up a meeting to try to talk him into taking bitcoins at the bar.
