A Day at the PreRelease
Well, today was the Coldsnap Prerelease. Coldsnap is the newest expansion for Magic: The Gathering, for all those non-enlightened people out there. :P
I woke up at 7:30, was picked up by Matt D at 8:20, and we got to Misty Mountain (a gaming store) a bit before they opened.
I opened up all the new cards, and *I* thought I had quite a nice pool for the prerelease tournament. I, of course, was wrong.
In four long, long rounds, I ended up going 1-2-1... much worse than I thought I would. Le sigh. The matches, however, all were quite fun, some going down to the last minutes of the round. The fun plus the cards were worth the fee.
The person I was matched against the fourth round (wooh for the 0-2-1 bracket...) was quite cute, though. Pretty sure he was gay, too. That, or just a bit flamboyant, heh. Not many cute magic-playing guys, too many fat smelly ones. ::mutters::
I had to take the bus back to the apartment, as Matt was staying for another round (which would've meant I would get back around 7 or 8, argh). The bus driver thought I was under 18, but I corrected him... almost got the Youth discount. ;) Do I really look 4 years younger than I actually am? Hopefully this keeps up for the rest of my years!
It takes <20 minutes to get to Misty by car, but it took an hour to get back by bus. Erugh.
Well, I guess that's good enough for one update.
