If you have any questions, PM me or e-mail Evn [dot] Tomeny [at] Gmail [dot] com. I hope to see you there!
Well you know I'll obviously be there. I don't think anyone I draft with is coming, because the group had a big casual event planned for Sunday. O well. Hopefully they'll come sometime in the future.
Awesome. Let's get some regular Legacy action going in Boston.
I'm down.

I'm pretty sure anywhere in New York is closer to you than Boston. We would love to have you, but save your gas money :)
hmmm, guess Necro will have to keep an eye on this one.

You guys got to attend. YMG is in the process of stimulating the economy of Legacy events in the Boston area. If you guys don't show, it's more than likely that they'll stop doing Legacy tourneys. We really need your guy's support and attendance.
Coming from you, I will take this into high consideration. As long as Lego posts reports I will watch this closely and report to everyone else.

This is the store right next to Davis Square T stop on the red line, right?
I walk by it every time i go to visit my sister. I'll tell my brother in law about this, he might be interested in a legacy tourny so close to his house. If this starts up regularly I'll try to join in any weekend i'm visiting them and so missing the worcester weekly anyway.
It wasn't YMG initiative that made this happen, they're just nice enough to allow us to use their space. If it didn't happen there, we'd make it happen somewhere else. There are simply too many Magic players in Boston for there not to be some sort of regular Legacy scene.
That's the one. Very easily accessible, good store, nice people. The store's not huge, but it's good for a nice weekly event.
We would love to have the Necro team be there, Bill. You're cordially welcomed if you do decide to show up. The people that run the store are also awesome. A great atmosphere with friendly people. You can't beat that.
can anyone give me a ride to this?
Team NeverWin: We just top 8 a lot.
Too lazy to post.
To go on foot, you go to the Porter Square T station. To orient yourself out of the station, turn toward the Qdoba and walk along that side of the street... and turn right when you hit a church. Mapquest shows the store here:

YMG is at the 'right' end of a low building anchored at the far end by a pharmacy.
Can't make it this week... I'm getting a faceful of Chinese New Year...
I thought Davis Square was the closest T stop to the store. I think RoddyVR got it right the first time.
Actually, Roddy and Cavius are correct. The closest stop to the store is the Davis Square stop (just one stop further outbound on the Red Line from Porter. It's literally 2 minutes from the Davis Square stop to the store.)
From the Davis Square T-stop, just spin around a bunch until you figure out which street Highland Ave is, and walk down that until you see the store on your left (just past the pharmacy.) I can't really describe how to get from Davis Square to Highland Ave, because I can't remember which entrance to the T is inbound and which is outbound, but suffice it to say that it's one of the streets that exits the square (actually, it's one way INTO the square, but if you're walking that's irrelevant,) so it shouldn't be very difficult.
As you walk through the turnstiles above the platform at Davis Square T, turn left.
Go up the escalators/stairs.
At the top of the escalators (iirc you have to take 2 up to get to the doors) turn left again (that newsstand that is inside the station should have been on your right).
You will walk out the door leading to little street that is realy just a bus stop (regular trafic cant go on that little street).
When you exit the doors , you want to walk around the building that is right in front of your face, walk around it counterclockwise (ie turn slightly right and walk forward). Once you're on the other side of that building, you are on Highland Avenue. Follow that like 2 blocks or something (as Lego said, past the pharmacy).
@Evn - Any idea what the prizes for Top4 are going to look like? That might give people incentive to show up if the prizes are decent enough.
