Title: House Cooling Party
Post by: Fellfrosch on January 16, 2004, 04:59:47 PM: ...which is what you should have, logically, when moving out of a house.

My particular house cooling will take place on Saturday the 31st, so I'd like to do a party on the previous Saturday, being the 24th. That morning is also the Darksteel prerelease, but being poor I will not be attending. I'm thinking that we could all get together in the evening, probably at the Cottontree, and play games--specifically LotR, because Decipher sent me a hojillion cards for it, but I'm sure no one would mind if we did other things as well. I can support 12 LotR drafters and 12 LotR sealed decks, or some unholy combination thereof, and we could have bring-and-play games of Magic and demos of Heroclix and all sorts of whatnot. Anyone who can make it to Provo is welcome to come, and if you dress like a smurf you get in for half price. Who's interested?

Post by: stacer on January 16, 2004, 05:58:02 PM: The only time I found a fare that low was when I pricelined it. Plus, flying from Boston to Chicago (what I'd look for right now, to go visit my family) is usually never less than $200. So it's $70 less to go 2000 miles more. ???

I'd love to go if someone is willing to play a board game.

You might want to take a look at it. I understand the sentiment, though. If need be, I'd be up for 3-4 ages of History of the World or maybe something else.

Not that I won't be wanting to show off my new MTG cards, too. Going to a tournament just prior is kind of distracting.

Post by: Fellfrosch on January 19, 2004, 06:35:01 PM: please make sure to announce this party at TLE--I'm about to head over to quark and post it there. Decipher sent me a hefty dose of LotR stuff and I want to make sure we have the people to make use of it.

Also, i'd like to announce that thanks to the kindness of Spriggan I will, in fact, be going to the Prerelease. Which means that Prometheus and I need to start gleaning the spoilers for hints and tricks to watch out for.
