This is sort of a Mini Data Sheet and Boston Power Style report. Interesting that is was 97F in Boston on Friday and Saturday, got to love that Miami heat - brought all the summer dresses out in full force! It was made clear to me on my current contract with a Fortune 1000 that Friday and hot summer weather is now Jeans and Biz Casual weather. So I was wearing a 2XL (Really is any grown man as skinny as these designers Boy Toy Models???? - Nice Threads but not the typical American Power Suit look) anyway I wore tropical notch side untucked short sleeve light blue summer shirt flat no tail meant to be worn untucked that is, black jeans, polished black casual slip-ons with sox and a well worn Boston Red Sox cap that has seen two World Series Championships plus my Honolulu Oakley thermo nuclear protective optics excellent for simultaneous seeking hot sexy ladies sonar and radar recon.
As I have stated before the New Boston has seen Billions invested with many more billions to go in the Seaport and adjoining Boston innovation district. I managed to get 5 Major Deliverables completed and rewarded myself with some after work socializing. Began at the New Water Front Intercontinental hotel, sort of a huge ugly glass palace on Fort Point Channel but has an interesting Latin Themed Rumba Cocktail Lounge in the large lobby that features only Rums and Champagne - not a bottle of Grey Goose in sight - they built a very cool 2 acre back patio on the Channel right near Boston Harbor which is now quite clean with Kids diving off the new Gas Lantern Bridges into the channel and swimming over to the Boat Docs to go again with no one bothering them (All cops busy with 5PM Traffic flowing into the Big Dig Tunnels) the street level above the Big Dig Tunnels is now the Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy "Greenway" named after JFK, RFK and Ted Kennedy's mum. approx 3 mile long well manicured gardens and walking paths run from the Harbor side of Boston Channel walking distance from the "Boston" TD Bank North Garden and North Station through the North End all the way to South Station.
What was once everyone's back servant's and deliveries entrance is now their Front Entry with the Palms having built out a giant round bay addition to International Place with outdoor seating over looking the greenway. Back to the Intercontinental Patio Bar "Rumba Lounge" patio - very Miami modern pastel Latin with the wait staff outside dressed like sexy Cruise Attendants with tight rack flattering cotton Tops and Royal Blue skin tight Capris - I ordered a Bombay Sapphire Gin and Tonic in a tall glass filled with Ice and a Crushed Lime - perfect for a 97 degree Boston evening was still around 90 at 5PM. The financial district is walking distance with John Hancocks new Offices a dozen non descript low key $1.5 Trillion Fidelity Mutual Funds building not to mention many others like State Street Global and Wellington Capital. They guys getting out of work wore No Tie summer weight trousers and Button down Oxford Shirts of various patterns. They Mention one 6 ft 4 guy wearing a Wool Suit (No Tie) and were surprised in the 9)+ heat. The predominant look for guys with Condos and Apts nearby now changed before unofficial "Happy Hour" Boston being the liberal epicenter of all things politically correct with Medford's NYC Mayor Bloomberg following close by in his ancestral villages Liberal foot steps - Happy Hour is illegal in and Banned in Boston so with will have to just call it Thursday and Friday after work Social Hour. That said the predominant 90F+ casual power look was long Oxford shirts starched, untucked, shades, no lids and high end Yachting Sperry Topsiders - old money Boston/Newport Power Yacht look - with one of our Power Guys casually mentioning he had the keys to a friends Mega yacht (he pointed out) anytime we might need a romantic rendezvous point - i.e. high end bang pad - floating no less - just have to leave the tank full!
I ran into some power players networking and they were interested in a couple of my projects so we will see. I was was further emboldened by a young Lass Snow White Skin Sapphire Blue Eyes and Fire Red Hair - she was getting a drink and I opened with "You have the map of Ireland, Scotland and Norway all over your face!" She quipped NO Finland! (She was clearly Old Line Boston Scots Irish a good thing as I love that Snow White Blue eyed Red hair look ... of course she immediately opened with what do I do and I said Cyber Security and I then asked What keeps you occupied in Boston, She replied interesting question sort of like an Ink Blot Test - she said she is in Wealth Management - the Power Guys there said oh yeah the Wellington Capital management people all come here - so I offered to buy her a drink and she said Well I have a tab open why don't i buy you a drink - so it being 2013 and she clearly using her Wellington Cash I said sure and had another Bombay G&T. Then the high level shit testing began but I must say it was done with style and flair which I expected in this venue - I said I have several business plans I am networking on and I could see her go from warm prospecting mode to cold see u later mode - Plans implied I am raising cash and have not already cashed in and am not about to place $100M with her in a capital management scheme - she said she primarily did Oil and Gas and do quite of bit of investing in Fracking ops. As a side she was thin and flat chested like a marathon runner and dropped the BF word which was bull as these ladies had the recon radar out but still a bangable 7 especially if you like high class big money babes. Her two lady friends were 6s so my Power Guys wanted to recon the rest of the new Boston Seaport district so they hopped next door to Smith and Wolenski's Fort Point steakhouse waterfront bar across from the Federal Reserve bank of Boston. I followed after my attempts at networking with my Russian Oil and Gas contacts were met with immediate dismissal and hostility to anything Russian - odd really considering there is $535 Billion USD surplus reserves sloshing around Moscow from 15 years of supplying the energy needs of the EU and others. She actually got a bit nasty and said I do not "network" I do not do Facebook and I do not do Linked In!
At that point I wished them a lovely weekend and met up with my power guy wing-men at S&W. Nexted the high class nasty red lass. Ironically she wound up alienating some serious wealth that I was socializing with (Beacon Hill Townhouses and Weekend Homes for Golfing on the cape) but very kool guys that I may be able to close some biz with.
One decided to get his SUV and drive over to the Seaport Hot spots because it was to hot to walk, I put $20 in his hand for the Parking fee at the new Boston Convention Center Parking lot (large multiple acres) and we hit DelFriscos (noted for Italian Seafood and Cougars) then a Mexican restaurant across from Salvatore's and then there was a line to get into some sort of Wine affair in Legal Seafood's new Seaport Rooftop Lounge overlooking Boston Harbor with now 85F breezes blowing through and the sexiest collection of Ladies within a 2 Mile radius - met two young 25 27 yr old lasses who were very sweet at their own table who drove in from high tech route 128 - so seaport district now a Metro magnet with the Waterfront Music Tent (Seats 10,000 plus) and dozens of high end and family style restaurants and high end $750K to $2M+ water view condos and apartments going up still. Most of the seaport equity funding provided by Fidelity to clean up the region for their 7,000 or so workers in town. After my contract is over and no more weekly deadlines this will be my new networking spot Summer Fall and even Winter. Oh yeah how do I know my new contacts were power guys - they walked right up to the door man stamping people for access to this Wine Social event and whispered and few words and we all three were stamped and sent right up with no wait - clearly had the place locked. Boston "bulldogs" women are not known for their Beauty like NYC, Miami, Vegas and LA women - but surprisingly there was a full selection of 7, 8, 9 and 10's networking in Mega Trillion Dollar Boston Financial and High Tech innovation Districts new after work Playground - rated right up their with Moscow for me and the ladies all spoke flawless English. Go figure.
Basically NONE of these spots are on any Tourist guides to the best martini bars and cougaramas in Boston either. Most of the lasses we met were in their fertile mid 20's too - not too many old dried up wrinkle necked sea trouts either!
Will have to settle for kittens versus cougars then for the time being
Bosstown Rocks!
