Quote from: MoriartyThere is, in fact, an auction going on right now While I've dropped off some stuff to be auctioned a couple of times, I've never actually attended one. From what I hear they've become pretty huge and are a pain in the ass to run.

But I know HinterWelt's pain of finding a good game shop in IL that isn't Games Plus -- especially after living in Minnesota where you can hurt yourself tripping over a gamestore that just popped up.

Yeah...that seems right...onein the fall one in the spring. I should go.

They used to be in the basement of the old place...and that was a firetrap.

But you could pick up out of print stuff...miniatures by the bagful...

It's not the weekend of 4/15, is it? If not, maybe I could cajole the wife into going...

Quote from: flyingmiceAnd then Bill will casually suggest a game of SA!...

-clash

ya know, if SA! got my wife to start gaming, I'd happily let Hinter flirt with her all day long...and it would be worth it, trust me....

I'm a lucky geek...

chicks dig SA!, I walked by the room when Bill was runing it @ gencon and the whole dang table was full of women. I can't say I have ever seen that many female gamers @ one table before.

Quote from: HinterWeltHey! Can I help it if the ladies like SA! ....I feel the need to point out that I have never been so surprised in my life when I realized how much attraction SA! had to the fairer sex.

Maybe it is the wedding pie that they dig?

Wow interesting... Five people in the San Diego area, only one in the L.A. area. (*waves at SD folks*)

Holy cow!

Hmmm....I'm supposed to go to Dad's Day at the school Saturday...

But now my daughter is sick...so maybe...

Thanks Moriarty! Where do you game? What do you play? You at the University in DeKalb?

I have this sneaking suspicion that Hinter is good looking :eek:

I am from the Moon. We have no need of your laws...

Quote from: blakkieButt-Fuck Edmonton? That is likely Levi lurking.

There's another Edmontonian here.

Also, I do not lurk - when I visit anywhere, I comment about a third of the time.

I do, however, fuck off for a week or so at a time to play dumbass town-building games. Like Travian.

Shouldnot you be busy getting your legs lasered in preparation for being Luke's GenCon booth-babe?

You work the Woody Allen/Dudley Moore angle then?

I guess you could say that. I think SA!'s humor have more to do with female attendance than my looks.

A wave? A wave he gives. You could write, you could call, you could maybe set up a time and place to meet in person. But no, you wave. Contagious you be? Impaired immune system maybe? A wave, oy.

May your dire/legendary/half-dragon/half-infernal/ogre blackguard 12th suffer persistent nail fungus with internal warts.

Wave? Gevalt!

It's comforting to see that zooming in doesn't lead anywhere near my actual street address... I'm not really certain what is at those coordinates, frankly. Some offshoot of the university's computer centre?
