greg- last yr for the New England fest me and my gf stayed in downtown Providence like 1 night. The Holiday inn I think- there was some Police tape wrapped round the hot tub, sort of like a scene in Lethal Weapon or something. Next to the Dunkin Donuts Center or something where they have non-NHL hockey or something. Providence seemed rather uneventful, possibly on par with Worcester. Does that sound right? I mean Worcester's got non-NHL hockey too (the minor league affiliate of the Blues actually- WORCESTER ICE CATS).
btw, what the hell is an ice cat?
