An Irish Wedding: Getting There & Getting There
It was an early start; Everyone else in the car was heading for Gatwick, but I was flying out of Heathrow because I’d booked later due to being in Thailand, so I was very kindly dropped off along the way. My flights were later than the other folks, so I was there well before check-in…

A Few Days In Auckland
I’m still dealing with jetlag induced slump, so this is a bit of a short one.

Friday through Sunday – LAS to LAX to NAN to AKL
I’m going to be adding to this as I go along, assuming airport WiFi happens.

Thursday in Las Vegas
This was a slow day; Hard to wake up, hard to get moving, and the noise & crowds were getting to me more than ever before. There’s a non-zero chance that some level of Con Crud¹ is at play, because I felt cold today; Not outside, but when indoors, it felt cold. Did a few…

Wednesday – Kà
The original plan was to do some kind of trip out into the desert today, either a Grand Canyon tour or one of the others, but I decided not to to because of the heat warning – pretty sure my travel insurance would laugh at me if something happened, and it’s hot enough that my…

Tuesday In Las Vegas
Today was mostly a wandering around day. There’s an extreme heat advisory in effect, so the wandering around process involved a lot of “walk to the next air-conditioned space”, because it’s dangerously hot out there. Got to see the fountain outside the Bellagio, which I missed the last time I was here.

Had a very leisurely morning, packing up the room and doing a final check and rebalance of the suitcases before checking out and storing my bags for a few hours. Just kind of wandered around looking at the rapidly vanishing remnants of the con,…

Sunday: Predation & Closing
The day started with VIG swag; Well, technically with a shower & getting dressed, but then VIG swag. There was a lot of it, but I have essentially no luggage space, so Naomi+Jay very kindly swung through the JW in their truck & took it off my hands to give it a good home. We’d…

Saturday: Rapscallion, Brindlewood Bay, & Old Gods Of Appalachia
This was my three-game day; Rapscallion, Brindlewood Bay, & Old Gods Of Appalachia; 12 hours of games, though maybe a smidge less as some of them finished early.

Friday: Psychic Trash Detectives
Today’s game was Psychic Trash Detectives, and it was great; Immediately went out & bought the game. I probably could have used the afternoon more effectively, but I had fun, so I’m happy with it. Got down to the stadium just to see it, and picked up a few things for myself & others at…
