This should be fun, last year was great. Just hope the opera singers are not around

Just hope the opera singers are not around

This year we will be in the Penthouse rooms, which seems to offer better noise insulation.

(For those who don't know: Last year, opera rehersals from another room in the building were heard through some of the sessions, to the annoyance of a few, and the delight of some.)

I'm wanting to get up there to see Todd Robbin's new play, opening in October, I think. If it's still playing, maybe I'll come up. I also have 2 free passes to Monday Night Magic I need to use.

Yay, I can't wait, last year was fun and I expect this year will be too.

Hey, do you need set up help? I never got an answer to my email offer of assistance. I can be there early if you need me.

I suppose if it's not too much trouble, you can stop in early and help us set up. I don't think think there will be much to do. But, it's nice to have an extra person in case I am wrong. (And, I could be very wrong.)

 

[Wowbagger]

Well, that seemed to go well.

It did indeed, the speakers were great, there were good discussions, the singer was awesome and a good time was had by all. I hope the search for a not so crowded bar succeeded with many beverages and more good conversation for all.

By the the time we found a bar that could fit the post-dinner crowd, the crowd shrank enough that they could probably fit into anything.

Video and Photos are starting to make the rounds on the Internet.

Here is my video of John Rennie karate chopping some wood:
