It’s morning, my headache is gone, so here is my report on gaming yesterday.<\/p>\n

The 19th<\/sup> Southern California Games Day<\/a> held at the Moose Lodge<\/a> in Burbank<\/a> was great. I’ve really grown to like the games days—they are much much better than open gaming at a convention, when you don’t know the folks and have to pay bokuu bucks just to play. These are only $5 for a full day of gaming. I thank the organizers, esepecially Dave, Devon, and Scott. Want to come to future games?

Enough shilling. What did we play? Lots (Geek List<\/a>): <\/p>\n

\nI only won one game: my last game of Ticket to Ride<\/a>, by one point. S&F says that she won both TTR<\/a> and Munchkin Bites<\/a>. The next games day is in March: I hope I can make it.<\/p>\n

So what other gaming is upcoming? Well, I’ve thought about going to either Orccon<\/a> or Conquest LA<\/a>, but the prices still turn me off. Orccon is $19 for a one-day pass ($35 full weekend, slightly less with pre-reg) and Conquest LA is roughly the same price, plus there is parking at Airport Hotel prices for both. Feh—this doesn’t make sense unless you’re in tournaments. More likely, I’ll do a day of open gaming that weekend at our house (drop me a note if you’re in the Greater LA area and might be interested in an invite). Jennifer will be doing a Games Gather in La Cañada the last weekend of April, but I’ll have to see how that works out with respect to 1st<\/sup> and 2nd<\/sup> Seders, so we might be hosting gaming again in April.<\/p>\n

My compliments to S&F for her behavior at Games Day; she only annoyed me once while playing T&E<\/a> (“What Time is it Daddy?”)… and she claims that was tactics to interrupt my stream of thought! It worked; she came in 2nd<\/sup> to my 3rd<\/sup>!<\/p>\n

So, what’s up for today: For me, a home day while S&F goes to religious school<\/strike> (didn’t happen: the week caught up with her and she was too exhausted). We’ll be doing some cooking today: a kugel and a roast; the kugel being for tonight’s Tu B’Shevet Potluck at temple.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
