I've surprised even myself with how much I enjoyed yesterday's Guy Fawkes event and the one Rogue Dancing session I've gone to. I have conquered the basics of the regular Waltz, Samba, Rhumba, Tango, Foxtrot, and (sort of) Bolero and it feels good. Hats off to the organizers of yesterday's event and to the women who, due to the guy:gal ratio, ( Read more... )

This past weekend I saw the Red Sox game at Fenway against the Orioles with D who came up to Boston with A to see J afterward (yeah, they need LJs). While I'm not a baseball nut, having it be a very close (and good) game that the Sox managed to win in the 10th inning was pretty awesome and exciting ( Read more... )

The GoodEvery LARP and tabletop I participated in one way or another went off well, on time and seem to be genuinely enjoyed by all. Also, the entire event was nicely done this year, congrats to all players, GMs, the Sci-Fi episode & video bringers, organizers and even police and security for letting a spill be in the main room of smitty banana ( Read more... )

These seems like a great forum to ask for ProCon costuming so here goes. Does anyone have any tribal leather or furs that I could wear for next Saturday night's The Middle Kingdom? I'd also love a giant boffer greataxe, I promise to be kind to it. Thanks!

I've decided to run a one-shot at ProCon since I had so much fun running a one-shot at it a couple years back and because while I definitely need a break from running one-shot LARPs, one-shot tabletops are a great way to try out an interesting idea. Anyway, for those of you not on the mailing list (or who like to get their event notices via LJ - ( Read more... )

Job: Going well, working on two projects that are cool plus some internal projects but I am still, as they say, trying to level up in Consultant. One of my colleagues describes consultants well - “we don’t know the answers, we just know what questions to ask”. Yeah, I know ( Read more... )

I've had some time to decompress from constant gaming, both FGS and World of Warcraft, and it's been relaxing not having to go somewhere or do something all the time such that all free time disappears into a black hole. I will not be running Age of Dragons: Veterans this winter/spring, and after talking to my co-conspirator marcus_sez_vote something in the ( Read more... )

I've gotten through most of my first week at my new job and while slightly bleary eyed from adjusting to the work time zone I am even more excited than I was before I started. The people in my group are pretty awesome in that while they are hard-working, bright professionals they also have a great sense of humor and all seem nice and cool... so ( Read more... )

Something I'd promised many to do when I moved in was to throw a party. And as I have finally moved in recently it's time. Taranhero and I were thinking about next Friday, December 2nd starting around 8 and going until whenever. FGS in general and friends/SOs are welcome, please post if you think you'll be coming so we know how many to expect. ( Read more... )

First the mini avatars, as they are just cute as hell.
