Distant memories. I lived a couple of blocks from Fenway in '86. Snuck into a couple of post season games and sat right next to Pesky's Pole. Disappointment? Riots? Those were good times.
 
I hear ya... Providence is actually an awesome city but not exactly a craft beer Mecca. There are some great spots for sure but not a huge number that would be ideal for a large conference like this.

I’m only 20 min outside of Providence so I woulda swung down and thrown a beer at you.

Providence doesn't have a ton of breweries but there are a lot within a 15 minute drive. Apponaug, Foolproof (not the best but decent), Long Live (just moved to a much bigger location), Proclamation, Linesider (50% owned by Dan Koppen), Smug, to name a few. There are more great ones but those are more of a 20 to 25 minute drive. There are some good beer pubs in Providence though. Rogue Island, G Pub, Congress Tavern, Wickenden Street Pub, Wild Colonial (good selection, weird atmosphere).

I don't think the selection of breweries or good restaurants is an issue. I'm questioning how they are going to handle the amount of people at the Dunk. Doesn't seem like a great place to have an expo and sessions at the same time.
