Hello my little chickadees,
So I was in Cat & Mouse yesterday and for those not in the know, they've opened up a new location in the West Loop with apparently a lot more space specifically for "events." They're gonna be at 1112 W. Madison now and are looking to fill themselves with nerd. They have an opening bash this Friday (tomorrow) from 6 - 10 pm. I might be able to make it down there to check it out, but if anyone is in the area and has the impetus, I suggest getting on over there and seeing if it might suit us. This might be a better consolidation point for our gaming efforts as it's a bit between all of us rather than so north side as Wanderer's (as much as we really do enjoy it there).
I'll shoot Linda an e-mail today just in case I can't make it down there and see if we can't make a thing happen and get a test night or something.
Also, have you turds ever played Twilight Imperium? It's FFG's flagship board game and this motherfucker is insane. Easily the best board game I've ever played, despite the first game taking 11 hours. I swear though, most 3 hour games feel like a chore compared to this thing. I got some friends who I am a bit loathe to play boardgames with due to their exhausting ADD, but even they were engaged the entire time. Most reviews honestly describe the game as "perfect." Anyone up to ruin a weekend with it sometime soon?

I'm not going to be able to make it to Cat and Mouse, but I'm down to play there if we can organize a test night or something! If anyone can make it out and give us the inside scoop tomorrow, that'd be awesome.
And I'm 100% down for boardgames, especially if they're "perfect" and "the best board game you've ever played". DUH.
Also, similar vein...we should play more Super Dungeon Explore. Just sayin'.

I've got a copy of Betrayal at the House on the Hill, I'd easily say thats one of my favorites Board Games of all time. He should do a boardgame thing sometime.

=Website= Looks good. Ticket to Ride tourney 10/4, Catan 10/11. I'll try to swing by this weekend. Apparently they are applying for a ' "Children's Activities Facility license" that would allow the store to host after-school game clubs and drop-off activities, allowing parents to bring their kids in for a game night while they go out for the evening.' So as soon as they get that license, Jeff can't visit anymore, since, you know, sex offender.

Jeff, you know I live to destroy weekends with you.
So I'm back in Chicago, and still on vacay for a few days, which means between doing laundry, re-filling my fridge, and trying to get the post office to deliver packages that were supposed to be here on the 10th, I'm pretty free to do awesome things. I also just realized how easy it is to get to Wanderer's from my place. Yay brown line.
Once I get my case complete (ie, put backpack straps on it for easy(ish) biking) this place isn't so far from me that on a decent-weather day I could wheel myself over. I likes this.
