Today is a bit of a quite day travelling to Boston. Caught the Fung Wah bus ( for $15 dollars, 7.70) has to be the bargain of the trip. The journey took about 4 and a half hours. The hotel i was put in was the Hyatt, which has the most confortable bed ive ever slept in. The place was way too posh for a backpacker like mebut the concierge was very helpfull. Anyway i had time to go walkabout for a few hours. The first thing to notice was how quaint the place is. Everything is ultra clean. Its a very green city, there aretrees down nearly all of the roadsides and between the imposing skyscraper there are buildings draped in history, of how some lived there who founded the movement to fend away us brits. Boston is the place where the civil war began, although having a tea party isnt the way to start one.
Anyway strolled down to Market Street, which is there equivalent to Covent Garden ( no mimes) but lot of british street performers. we get everywhere. (Dont come here Sharon they have clowns). Very plesent place. but the uglyest city hall ever (all contrete looks like a multi story car park)

Bus trip sounds a right bargain and no mistake.
Considering you're a backpacker it doesn't sound like you're roughing it too much, didn't realise hostels had concierge's.
Think you should of informed all in Market street of your impending fame & perhaps put on a show of your own, maybe that famous impression of a baby white eared elephant with your trouser pockets.......
No, hang on that's Chris' party trick ain't it!
In that case how about a tune on the pan pipes, that's always popular.
Not sure you're right about tea parties not being the way to start a war, you should put your theory to the test, try throwing hot wet teabags at people in the street (not the pyramid ones cos you could have someones eye out) and see what reaction you get......you may be pleasantly surprised(and if you could include some photo's even better)
