Small &#038; Feisty played O Zoo Le Mio, Aquarius, Power Grid, Circus Maximus, Liars Dice, Chez Geek, Munchkin, Exxtra, and Chrononauts. Small &#038; Feisty also won a door prize: A copy of Ebay-The Game (which has actually gotten good reviews at <a HREF=\"http:\/\/www.boardgamegeek.com\/\">BoardGameGeek<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>As we left for dinner, we drove out Foothill Blvd to Route 118. I was able to indulge in a bit of Roadgeekiness: I&#8217;m pleased to report that there is still a white (i.e., pre-1964) state highway shield on Sunland near I-210, directing people to Route 118. I also note that the directional signage at the end of Angeles Crest Highway (former Route 2) is still a black and white sign. I wonder if Route 2 was cosigned with Route 118 (Foothill Blvd) in the days before I-210 was completed (i.e., from where Route 2 came up from Glendale and Eagle Rock and Angeles Crest Highway)?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today was Game Gathering #4, a regular day of open gaming out in the Valley.
