This is just a heads up that I am currently working on setting up a Pints and Pawns event.
It's been a long time since we have had one of these events and I think it's high time we have a more relaxed gaming event.
For those who have not attended one of these before, they are similar to our Games and Grub events but held in the evening. We usually have dinner and then settle into some light beer and pretzel games while enjoying pints, pitchers or shots of our favorite beverages. It's a definitely informal event that can be a lot of fun and a lot more relaxing then a hard day of strategy gaming.
Previous events had been held at the Kildare House but the lack of Air Conditioning upstairs and the rising prices have made me re-think them as a venue. I am currently looking into the upstairs at the Rock Bottom. I realize it's at the opposite end of town for some people, but it's right on the Crosstown bus route, and right on Riverside Drive (Sandwhich at that point). Plus the Cabs aren't on strike anymore.
I'm looking at mid to late September for this or maybe even Early October depending on how long the planning takes.
Looking forward to a lighthearted night of gaming sometime soon.

I'm in! The sooner the better. I like that it's on a bus route. I hate to pay for a cab. That would cost a fortune.

Here's the deal. I recently got put back onto shift work (boo!) and that has pretty much turned my life upside down as of late. Along with that we have another little one on the way and Pandora hasn't been having an easy time of it.
Due to this I haven't really worked on our next event much. I did try to get a hold of a contact at Rock Bottom but I never got a response. That was right before work went to crap and I kind of forgot about it. Due to this and everything else going on, I think a Pints and Pawns event will be on hold for a bit at least.
Now I would like to get a Games and Grub going. I'm thinking October 10th. I've talked to the KofC and they say we do not need a reservation and just to show up and that, that one time funeral debacle shouldn't ever happen again. The only thing we need to do is confirm a sitter for the day. That will probably happen soon so look for a local event invite in the next couple of days. If we can't get a sitter for the 10th we may go with the 17th.

Hello,
Due to the 10th being a long weekend I think the week after might work better.
thanks.
