Well, hopefully this goes down tongiht. Depends on Jeffe's willingness after lifting heavy objects.
Anyone who wants to make the trip down/up from new york/boston wherever is free to. :)
If not, I'm hoping to do a fallback night tomorrow. My friend Herb will be up. I'm not sure if Carl's free. I think Herb's bringing a friend. We're hoping Jeffe joins us.
Probably role playing, possibly some AoM or whatever strikes our fancy
-
Hmm, traveling to D.C. in the matter of a few hours... Yeah, not gonna happen.
Though my friend wants to go to D.C. this summer, so if we do come down, I'll be sure to say hi.
On that note, my roommate (the one you all know as Belle) is moving back home to Virginia this next week. She's moving out tonight, but will be staying at a friend's in Boston for a week, then going home. :'( I'm sad.
-
Nah I cant make it, Instead of ordering a little all week from different people, my boss ordered everything yesterday (meaning it arrived today)
-
well, let us know when you come. We'll have a TWG-East night.
Where in Virginia is your roommate moving to?
TWG-East night is being tried again tomorrow night, since role playing is no fun with two peopel and Jeffe couldn't come.
-
I think it's about an hour or so from D.C. Can't remember what the city is exactly.
-
TWG California is ready to go!
But, uh, it's only me and Micah....
-
TWG East Went!
-
Did it come back?
-
yes.
Or at least it will 2 weeks from now.
-
Have you Seen me? (http://www.monkeyslothstudio.com/pictures/milk_carton.jpg)
-
Thats hysterical and just how I feel about not being able to game when I want.....
-
Admittedly I couldnt stay as long as I liked (2 hours or so) but in the time I was there we got our 50 fathoms game set up and the guys played a hand of munchkin...
good times....
-
actually, we'd played a hand of it before Jeffe got there too.
After he left we played a game of Risk 2210. It had been a while since I'd played that one, and I managed to lose for the first time.
Anyway, looks like we finally have a gaming group. yay!
-
Okay, so my roommate told me where she was from just an hour ago and it's already left my head. But I think she said it was near Leesburg. Looking at the map, it might have been Purcellville? Not sure.
Anyway, not far from D.C. She said she'd be in a small singles' branch when she got home, in her home stake, if that helps pin it down.
-
Leesburg is a hop skip and an leap away... (ie close, but still a little bit of a drive.)
-
I dated girls out that way. I would personally like to work from home and live in Hamilton, right next to Leesburg.
-
I feel I have to add that he doesnt mean with the girls he dated back then.
-
only because my wife is so strict.
-
>:(
-
I asked her again last night, and I was right--Purcellvill (or however it's spelled). She says it's nice. It's certainly rural--I can't ever get her on her cell phone when she's at home.
-
So almost an hour 45 minutes away... maybe more w/ traffic.
-
it's not that far.
-
Its 20 miles north and west of Leesburg!!! 20 more miles and you'll be in Martinsburg WV.
-
yeah, but in time. I can (and did) get from Purcellville home in 1.5 hours, and that's skirting around the city. Going straight into DC, it'd be shorter.
Of course, with rush hour traffic, there IS no short time.
-
Hum. How close is that place to Tyson's Corner? I've got several good friends there, and I make my way that direction about once every year or so.
-
(http://www.saintehlers.com/misc/images/map.gif)
Springfield is where i live, Arlington is Jeffe's home. DC is just off the map on the right at the top, Purcellville is on the other side of Leesburg (the map isn't too scale, but it'd give you even less of a picture where things are if I put Purcelleville on that map). Tyson's Corner is a LOT closer to Jeffe and me than Leesburg and environs, which in turn is a little closer to us than Purcellville.
-
yeah Tysons is like a 20 minute drive for me,... just as close to go there as it is to go to Springfield...
-
Mr. Jeffe GM: what time/day is our next session? THis weekend is when we planned to meet again.
-
bump
what time/place/day Jeffe?
-
erm ah yeah,.... let me check and I'll get back to you. Could have sworn we decided on next weekend....
-
well, we decided 2 weeks. this coming weekend is 2 weeks. so if that's changing, the sooner the better, so I can tell Herb and Carl.
-
well it looks like they sprung an exercise on me this weekend, so I wont be able to make it, I'll be in Martinsburg WV. Yayy! :(
-
darn. Well, I already told herb outlook wasn't good. You know if next week's gonna be better?
-
Yeah it looks pretty good....
-
Should we say saturday then? or is Friday better?
-
Im tempted to say friday, but let me check with my wife.
-
This might be a good diversion sometime for TWG East..
http://www.flyingcircusairshow.com/
I did the show once and it rocked....
-
what Time friday? I want to call Carl. I don't think Herb will be there, so it's just us three, and nayone else you know who wants to show up.
-
Hey my place actually ends up being a better location... more playing time and less traffic woes...
-
more playing time for YOU maybe. You don't have to drive home to kids!
seriously though, Either place works. Kirsti gave her permission for our place. But I think she'll be happy to be able to watch a Judy Garland movie without thinking there are three guys back there commiting acts of piracy and disdaining the lyrics to "Ding, ding, ding, went the trolly."
So, your place then. I'm bringing a copy of Attack! for good measure. Carl's on call for maintenance this week, so keep your fingers crossed that nothing in the army breaks today.
-
stupid army.... ;D
Yeah well it was an issue of gaming untill 10 or so and then driving back to go to bed and then get up at 4:00
Stupid Coast Guard....
on a better note... next month I go to 8 hour watches instead of 12 hour ones... so I have afternoon weekend time for gaming!!! yayyy.
-
Can I assume that since you are going to be out of town for a while that I should put August on my gaming schedule for TWG east...
Jul-15-Aug 2 I will be in the land of the Normans, and Celts and those pesky domesticated nomadic germanic types Angles, Saxons and etc...
before then I will expect you all to get a hold of some miniatures from Pinnacle for your characters :) Cause I plan to buy a dozen figs or so for you to fight...
maybe
Sadly I could have gotten you Herb and the third guy who I want to say is named Karl, but his name escapes me for the moment all figures for your characters, except you are all in different packs of mini's
15.00 each btw... Yes I have paper ones and I'll prolly get bases for them, but the metal ones are cool...
-
Hmmm, while there Jeffe, pick me up some Russian clothing things. You know, like the hats they wear.
-
because, y'know, England is famous for it's Russian stuff
And wth happened to all of July? I'm only gonna be gone for a week.
-
June 15, as in tomorrow, you're leaving?
-
oh, i read that wrong. I thought you were leaving in July, Jeffe.
-
I am, I just got confused
-
that gives us two weeks, let's do something one of those weekends
I have three days for July 4 weekend. You off any of them?
-
dunno prolly not.. julys a big leave month
-
well, let me know when you have a day off.
