Look who's back on buffetnews, hey stranger

For those who are driving, there isn't really that much parking near the Paradise. You could get street parking (if you can find a spot) and usually those are metered near there until about 6PM. On the side streets are for Allston-Brighton residents ONLY mostly and you will be towed. There are a few signed Visitor parking areas but are two hour limit only until 6 PM where you can park all night until 8 AM the next morning. And yes, you guessed it, if you get there before 5 PM, there is a chance you will be towed. Between 5 and 6, MAYBE a chance but it drops down. There are city parking lots on Harvard Ave near Blanchards Liquors near the corner of Harvard and Brighton Aves. You could walk to the Paradise (go towards the Prudential building -- you should see it from there) on the left hand side of the street, or take the 57 bus to either Pleasant or Babcock Streets. There is a parking lot on Commonwealth Ave right near the BU Campus, can't remember how far down and if it is only for BU students/faculty or if it is open to the public. There is also a parking garage on Beacon Street near Kenmore. If you are taking the T, take the B Green Line to either Pleasant Street or Babcock Streets or any of the Green Line trains, except the E, to Kenmore, then take the 57 bus to those streets.

Or........the Hotel Indigo is at the end of the T line in Newton. It's actually cheaper the most "in city" hotels. Stay there and take the T to the show. Remember the T doesn't run all night so after the show, get on the T and go back to the hotel.

If the show ends at 11, then you have time to get to the T.

You can park at the prudential center after 5 for for $16 with this coupon and take the T to paradise.

My boss pretty much told me not to go in on Thursday. I might take her up on it to give j plenty of time to park.

Save me a spot in line

Yep. If I can get a ticket, I could show the secret Visitor spot to the person driving in and park near my old apartment and take the T in.

Or they could take the 57 bus back out west and you would be let off right at the block of Paradise (or the B Line is also good though).
