"metro Boston", silly. I live in Cambridge and worked for a city council candidate in 2005, so I'm well aware of the fact that it is a separate municipality. I'm equally aware of the fact that Arisia and its attendees don't care what municipality we're in when talking about geographical location, but we *do* care about being in metro Boston, an area which encompasses quite a number of cities and towns. And although the Waltham Westin that hosted Arisia 1998 was also in metro Boston, we'd prefer to be centrally located in the city and near the T. By those considerations, there are many areas of the city of Boston that are less well located than any random spot you pick in Cambridge. Saying that Cambridge isn't in metro Boston is 100% ridiculous. Or maybe you get extra credit on that one.
