Wendy is ok with it!
We can either meet at my place or Pendragon or at any fast food place between here and there (unlimited refills!)
Just let me know. If we're at my place, I may get sucked into brief kid-duty... :)
Since Pendragon is open until 10PM on Fridays (according to their website), it's fine with me. The nice thing about going there is they've got bigger tables. Of course, the down side is that they have a limited selection of drinks and snacks and charge quite a bit for what they have.
Chris, Mac, what do you guys want to do?
-
Okay, just want to rehash some details so I am on the same page.
Pendragon is in Tarpon Springs and serves as a middle ground meeting place, correct?
Have you actually sat in a fast food joint and played board games as extravagant as Starcraft before?
I can understand a bit of child care dooties, I don't have an issue with that, at least I don't think so.
I am up for new experiences, to a limit, but either of the three options sounds okay to me, although playing at the fast food joint will be a bit weird.
I say bring it on, let's game.
Mac :P
-
Yes, Pendragon Games is about halfway between Charles and me.
I've never played a big game like StarCraft at a restaurant before. I don't think I'd feel comfortable trying to either. I think we've primarily played card games and small board games, like Pirateer and TransAmerica, when we've gone to restaurants.
Since I'll have to wait for my wife to get home before I can head out, I probably won't be able to get to Tarpon Springs before 6PM. (This is her first week in training though, so we're not sure what her schedule will be like for Friday yet.) This means that we won't have time to tackle any BIG games anyway.
-
Carpool?
I've been meaning to work on my car and would rather not put extra miles on if I can avoid it.
Although if you are driving that little red car in front of your house, I'd probably need to drive then. lol
Mac
-
Carpooling is fine with me. By the way, Chris fits in my car without denting the roof. ;) If you'd rather drive than ride in my little car though, I'll pitching in for gas.
-
I'm picturing me with your family now, and all I can think of are scenes from Harry and the Hendersons. :-[
Friday at Pendragon's sounds good to me... I can be there at my usual time of 6ish, that is if my freakishly huge body doesn't smash up my car... Of course, I can always stick my monsterous head out of the window and make siren noises to get through traffic.
-
I'll pitch in for gas and ride with you. I'll plan on heading over to your house around 5:30p, that way when Beth gets home and settled, we'll be ready to go.
Mac
-
Charles called today. He said he'll be at Pendragon Games around 6PM.
-
I will be at Pendragon games around say...6:30 or so. Who's with me?
-
I've confirmed it with Beth. I'll be there.
-
Count me in.
I'll drive this time, Dragon.
I figure I'll come by your house around 5:30p.
We should be at Pendragon by 6:15 or so.
Mac
-
Sounds good. See you Friday.
-
Another fun night at Pendragon.
In attendance: TylerChuit, Wyldwing, Mac, and Dragon. Many other patrons were there playing other games, but no one else joined us this time.
Games played: Betrayal at the House on the Hill, Democrazy, Chez Grunt
Check out my blog (http://www.dragonshobbies.com/comments.php?blogid=759&type=Blogs) for more details.
-
Ok guys. Even though Beth forgot about Sunday, she did remember Friday. Anyway, I should be there.
-
At this point in time, I would like to say I'm a go for Friday.
However, I also just came down with a mystery cold. I don't know anyone else with a cold, and it just appeared, with my nose running and me sneezing, all in about ten minutes.
If I am feeling well, I could drive, if not too bad, I could ride along. But, if it's bad, I prefer to not pass this one on.
Mac
-
I hope you're feeling better soon.
-
I will be going out of town on Friday evening, and must start my gaming sabbatical this week... :'(
But I believe that the 20th should work, if we're doing the all day game day!
-
That sucks, but I guess it's ok because we're dealing with issues at home and have to can't go anyway.
If you're referring to September 20th, you must have missed my other post. No gaming for me that weekend either.
-
Due to this darn cold, I will have to skip the Pendragon get together today. Sorry for the short notice, I should have posted yesterday.
Mac
-
Man, you people and your "lives"... :P
-
Any up coming Friday get togethers at Pendragon?
Mac
-
I'm not sure if Charles is available for gaming yet. I'd like to get together again soon. I'm still trying to gauge my workload though. Hopefully by the end of this week I'll have a better idea of what to expect at school.
-
If this Friday works for Dragon, I'll be there.
-
Cool. I just asked Beth about it and she said that it's fine.
Mac, are you interested in car-pooling?
-
I should be okay, as long as you don't mind driving. I'm not sure how much sleep I'll have that morning, I am going to work early to try and win some super bowl tickets. Means I have to be there from 5p until 9a. But the first 5 hours is easy, just watching the NFL game on Thursday night.
Hope I get the tickets.
Mac
-
Mac, are you planning to meet me around 5:30 again?
-
Yep, no tickets, but at least they gave us a meal and few beers.
Mac
-
That's too bad that you didn't get the tickets, but at least you got something.
See you this evening.
-
Let me know when the next Friday at Pendragon's is. I have started a campaign of D&D on Fridays with the intention of switching between Pendragon and the Computer game, Never Winter Nights I.
So, if possible give me some notice so I can plan accordingly.
( That's what I get for telling three different groups of people that I am looking for something fun to do on Fridays. Of course all three come back at me with the same time for all their ideas. :P )
Mac
-
Sorry, I'd really like to, but this week I have a heavy workload for school due to assignment deadlines in and an exam on the weekend. (By the way, Charles, I wish there was time to get some help from you on understanding this Accounting stuff.) Next weekend is a big conference that my wife wants to go to, so that's a no-go too. So at this point, I'm looking at October before getting back to Pendragon.
-
Too much going on for me this week to commit to Friday, but hopefully Oct 10th will be reasonable. I've posted it on the calendar as a potential and I'll try to lock it down more by this time next week.
-
Ok. I'm not sure yet what the plans are for this weekend, since Chris and Charles haven't responded yet about the Reservoir Dogs Theme Night. I told Chris before that I could probably go either Friday night to Pendragon or Saturday night to Charles'.
-
Let's do Pendragon Tomorrow night.
Saturday doesn't work for me.
-
Ok.
Mac, are you interested in gaming at Pendragon tomorrow?
-
Interested, yes.
Able to attend, not sure.
I'll have to get with you around 5:30p today. I need to get some sleep and I'm hoping to hear from a friend about getting together this weekend. I'm not sure which day is good for him.
Mac
-
sorry, not going to be able to make it today.
Have fun, guys.
Mac
-
Ok. Thanks for letting us know.
-
Hey guys, how about Nov 7th?
-
Hmm... I'll have to see who wins the election before I know if I can afford the gas. :P
Yeah, I'll be there.
-
I will be there!!!
-
I'm hoping to attend. I'll know more as the day approaches.
Mac
Edit: It's looking good so far. I'd say about 70% at the moment. Can I ride with you, Dragon?
-
Okay,I'm commited to Friday at Pendragon.
With our without the ride from Dragon.
Any ideas on what games we are going to play?
I'll bring cash for the used HeroQuest game.
Mac
-
I plan on going tonight, so we can ride together. (Sorry, I didn't notice the edit on your post before.)
-
I will be there, and I will bring the used Heroscape game.
-
Are you guys interested in playing Robo Rally tonight? I'd really like to play that.
-
Always!
-
Does anyone know if Pendragon is going to be open this Friday?
-
yes, they are.
http://www.pendragon-online.com/ (http://www.pendragon-online.com/)
-
I guess they've changed their hours too. They don't appear to be open Monday - Thursday anymore.
Would anyone be interested in going there for some gaming on Friday? I saw something last time I was there that I'd like to pick up.
-
Interested??? HELL YEAH! >:(
Unfortunately, I'll be in Orlando. Probably getting up at 4am to find some awesome deals! :P
Sorry...
-
Meet at Pendragon for some late Black Friday shopping?
Sure, why not.
I'm game.
Mac
Edit: I actually forgot about agreeing to heading out to Pendragon. Thanks for calling Dragon, however, I had made other plans since sending this message. My bad. Sorry 'bout that, Mac
-
Cool. I got the ok from my wife. "As long as you don't mess up my Black Friday shopping." :D I told her that I would probably want to get there around 5PM. (A little more time for shopping and gaming since it's not a work day.)
-
Well... it didn't work out for us to go last week. I didn't even get to go myself. Any chance that we can get together this Friday?
-
If it works for you, Dragon, I'll make it work on my end. If it doesn't, then I'll pass.
-
OK. It's set. I asked Beth, got the ok, and I'm putting it on the calendar. Friday, Dec 5th, at 6PM.
-
Sorry guys, I'll have to pass on this one. I have to go to Tampa early in the morning Saturday for Super Bowl volunteer training/id card picture.
With my schedule, sleep is a valuable commodity I have been missing. So my plan is to come home Friday morning and sleep until the cows come home, er, something like that.
Anyway, if I wake up in time, I may give Dragon a quick call and ride with him, but I'm not gonna set my alarm for it, if you get my drift.
Mac :-\
-
Ok. That's fine. In that case I won't give you a call tomorrow. Call my cell if you wake up early because I may be going to pick up someone else to come along.
-
Okay.
Mac
-
There's been alot of stuff in different threads for gaming and movies, and I can't remember where the gaming one was being discussed, so I'm just going to ask here.
Are we on for tonight at Pendragon?
-
Not tonight. I didn't know anything was even being discussed for tonight. I thought the only plans so far were for CMN next week (which I've now added to the calendar so that it's easier to see what's going on).
