Yeah, I'm sort of using the forum to advertise something ("Hooligan" style but less tasteful)...so delete it if you wish

Mike Battista will be appearing at Baggataway in Brookline, MA to sign autographs and talk about brine gear, from 11-4 on December 11th. A LOT of players have met Battista since hes very involved in youth and highschool lacrosse programs throughout MA, but if you haven't met him i STRONGLY suggest doing so.

Baggataway is a small lacrosse store in Brookline, MA. There aren't many lax shops in MA besides comlax, so it's worth a try. The owners are nice guys who are also local high school coaches. An interesting thing about them is that they don't sell any brine or warrior equipment...only the "smaller" companies STX (i think it's fair to say stx is smaller than warrior/brine), debeer/gait, and harrow. Sales are frequent, and prices are pretty comparable to your average lax shop. One sad note though: since baggataway has created a friendship with Battista, they've given in and are now stocking brine stuff... :imparied: somewhat a good thing and a bad thing. But for all you anti warrior guys, they don't sell any warrior stuff.

if anyone wishes to come, leave a message on this thread and i'll post the address.

A 30 minute drive from Boston? It's the next town over. You could walk through Brookline in a couple minutes and be in Boston. Many of the Boston College student apartments are in Brookline. Baggataway is a pretty cool place and the owners are great. Battista is a good guy and everyone who can should get out there to meet him.

Since some of you guys are showing some interest...the address is this:

141 Cypress Street

the place is a little hard to find...its on a main road and then you turn into a side street and its there.
