So, weekend came and went. Bummed around Friday night with Jeremiah and a few others. Our evil game has died. Saturday I had lunch with Cullens and took Pam to work. Chilled with Ryan until I had dinner with David, Sunny and Eddie (his parents), and Jonsey. We talked a bit about Sunny running for Judge in Bess but mostly needed Jonsey and Sunny to meet. Went wonderfully well. Then we grabbed up some Sake at World Market. On a whim, we had a sake party at Little Jeff's place. Drunken goodness. I downed one of the draft sakes and a few other shots. Man, I was stumbling about. But Jonsey and I dueled, as did alot of others. Jen and Lyndsay had a wrestling match to blow off some steam and James and Jay decided to get their sword geek on. Most fun!!
I crashed on Cullens couch until I had lunch with fam for Easter. Got some candy, Narnia DVD, and some groceries from my family (Grandparents went on low carb thing again and emptied their pantry.)
Afterwards, watched a bit of movie with Dean before Dawnforge Game. Damn, I have to give Nick and Jay credit this time. They came up with some pretty awesome shit to try in the game and Ryan's loving it. It changes his plot completely, but he's totally on it. We also chatted about perhaps starting another game since both the OWOD LARP and the evil games have died. I'm considering Feng Shui, but would have to track down the books. We've also dabbled in the ideas of a rotation game.
Heard from the girlie on Sunday too. She seemed in a great mood and wish I could have talked to her more. Always great to hear from her, good or bad. Still need to make some final calls on what to do.
We're working on the logistics of up coming parties, so keep an eye out for postings on DD goodness.
