This Saturday we head to Boston for the "Tea Party."  For the past ten years, Virtual Boston ARTCC controllers from around the world have flocked to the Boston area to control this traditional event from one room.  Demonstrating their fine skills and technique to provide top notch ATC service to VATSIM pilots.  This year is no different -- over 15 controllers will be getting together in person on the Daniel Webster College campus in Nashua, NH (near the actual location of the real ZBW facility) to staff the ARTCC on Saturday, July 10th12:00 PM EDT (1600z) to 7:00 PM EDT (2300z).  We won't be dumping any tea, but they will be running an exciting game of from Airport Poker to dump payware flight simulator prizes on the winners! This "admirable" gathering of controllers would make John Adams flip over in his grave.  Pilots are guaranteed to have fun on what will be a very busy day in Boston!  Here is a link to their site so it may answer any questions that you may have.  http://www.bostonartcc.net/events/teaparty2010/   I hope to see all of you in the virtual sky!
