Mystic Order of The Sacred Slinky Game Night?

The Mother-In-Law is gone, time to plan for the next MYSTIC ORDER OF THE SACRED SLINKY GAME NIGHT!

BTW, if you can read this? You're invited... even all you people I recently added who have never met me face-to-face :) And if you're on my FaceBook Friends Page you'll get an official E-Vite as soon as we've narrowed down a specific date!

So when should we do this? Should we do it this COMING Saturday (9/12), or NEXT Saturday (9/19)? Please cast your votes NOW in the comments!

So what exactly *is* the Mystic order of The Sacred Slinky Game Night? It's a kid-friendly environment for us adults to get together and game while the kids destroy my daughter's bedroom, the living room, and our yard. Always takes place on a Saturday, starting as early as 3pm and going on till everybody is gamed-out or I fall asleep.

Light amounts of booze are OK, no drugs... smoking outside if you need to... bring eats or drinks, all I supply is something basic (a big pot of Chili, some grilled burgers, etc) and all the delicious King County Tap Water you can drink.

So what games are we talking about here? In theory, we gather to play Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition. Unfortunately, that's only ever happened *THREE TIMES* since the founding of the Game Night. Usually we play a large variety of "Adult" games such as Carcassone, Ticket To Ride, Munchkin, Apples To Apples, Fluxx and whatever else anybody wants to bring.... home-brewed games are encouraged :) OOH! And I found my copy of "ZOMBIES!", so we'll probably play that as well this time around! I love me some Zombies :)

Kids at our game night range from 3 (my daughter) to 15 or so... mostly younger kids, though. But for the most part they are out of sight and out of mind as we play our games :)

SO! Which Saturday should we do it?

Well, as you know, I'm booked pretty solid this month. The only possible Saturday Kaiti and I could make it would be the 26th. Of course, Todd is available all month. Naturally, this past Saturday, the 5th, my birthday, I was available for the entire day, with no plans whatsoever! But anyway, that's our 2 cents.

See, you did it wrong. You're supposed to start posting to your blog about two weeks before your Birthday, with semi-daily reminders so folks know when and where and what kind of presents you expect..

Trust me, you WILL NOT be able to NOT remember when MY Birthday is. I won't allow it.

So anywho, Happy Birthday! You don't look a day over (solve for Y where Y is + or > than Actual Age)

This Saturday is possible, the following Saturday is not. Well, we have rough plans to hang with a friend on Mt St Helens, so most likely we won't be around on the 19th. But I think this Saturday night is available.

I see... and what about the week after that? Saturday the 26th?

I have no idea that far out, so I'd say that it's pretty safe ;)

Oh good! 'Cuz it's looking more and more like that's the weekend that'll work for most.

Not around the weekend of the 13th. I'll be working on the 19th. Le sigh. Maybe next time.

Oh, and did Steve get you that bag o swag?

Haven't seen Steve since you got the stuff for me... hopefully I'll get it on Game Night, whenever that is :)
