    Logan to South station will be on the subway, no need to buy tickets in advance, and then commuter rail to Worcester you buy tix at South Station. Not sure exact time of train ride, but I'd assume at least an hour and a half total with stops figured in to make the 2 trips (probably 15-20 minutes to get from Logan to South Station will have to take blue line then switch to Orange at State and then swith to Red at next stop Downtown crossing and go 1 more stop to South Station, and then I'd guess roughly an hour for train to Worcester)

    I think the silver line bus also can get you from Logan to South Station, may be a little quicker than the subway.
    This weekend we rock Portland

    Where's the beer?

    Any suggestions on where to go before the show?

    Probably will be staying at the Worcester Hotel...

    Are you from the area? I'm assuming you are talking about the Worcester Motel? I can tell you from the bottom of my heart that is the last place you want to stay.

    Thanks a lot,

    I am just trying to figure out the most convenient and not to expensive way to get to Worcester, and not to be too late in the town, so we can stil get some beers before the show. I guess I will meet some of you at some pub. Is anyone organising something??:)

    What about The Smokestack? It's right at the end of Green St. It would be a 3-5 minute drive from the bar to the venue. Food is fantastic, tons of beer choices.

    We have been checking prices too and we just confirmed our room at the Marriott Courtyard in Worcester. It looks like it is super close to the arena. Free parking and we can save the cab fair! Done and done!

    I've stayed at that Courtyard a couple of times, it's very nice and close to DCU :)

    I believe the Silver Line is even free from Logan to South Station. Here is the specific commuter rail schedule you'll need to get to Worcester. If you can get an express rather than a local your trip will be faster. TIP - buy your commuter rail ticket at South Station or in advance if possible. They will try to ding you an extra $3 if you buy it on the train itself.

    Hilton Garden Inn Worcester is where you wannna stay. Its next to the venue and its a good location. I wouldnt stay at any motel in Worcester.
    Also check for hotels on RT 9 in Shrewsbury/Westboro. Its probably 20-25 mins away and its a decent location and probably cheaper.

    Where are you located in RI?
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    My 20th show! Coming down from Dirty Derry, NH. Lucked out and won GA. I was really hoping they might decide to play Manch-Angeles after they announced this Worcester show. Maybe someday they'll play a show in New Hampshire.

    Song request: 'No Way'....never played in Massacusetts

    I think its called the Worcester City Motel if I recall (will be out there Sunday), that place is about as big a dump as one could hope to find.
    This weekend we rock Portland
