Once again, I drove up to Berkeley on Friday night, this time because of the Mirrodin prerelease on Sat. (New M:tG release). Hung out with the CAA folks again, played some Mah Jong… in which I won a decent amount of hands, but all for piddly amounts, and ended up having to pay 128 out on the last hand, only having about 14 left. (They play starting with 200 “chips”… thankfully not dollars.)
Once again, I was also up in Berkeley past midnight, and stayed at Luke’s overnight. This time, I actually planned for that and brought two changes of clothes. I took a picture of the crowed room of Magic players and would have moblogged it, but I *gasp* got no reception in the room. In the middle of downtown Oakland, for crying out loud. This whole AT&T GSM network is really starting to suck…
Sunday, drove back (after watching the Conan O’Brien 10th anniversary show), played some DDR 4th Mix…
Wait? What’s that? I played DDR 4th Mix? Why yes, I did! It is back in my possession! After being left in my Japanese PS2 when I lent it to AX2002 (that’s almost a year and a half ago, for those of you keeping track), being stuck in the possession of pyee (who was in charge of the video gaming that year and never remembered to bring it anywhere I was), being handed off to bigdumbthing after I actually made an effort to reclaim it last weekend, making pyee actually get off his rear and take action… then being lost by bigdumbthing (in a move characteristic of his username, I suppose… *whistle*) at the CAA showing last Monday, claimed by another of the CAA people, handed back to bigdumbthing, and finally claimed by me this morning. So where was I? Oh, that’s right…
Went to dinner with the majority of the local gang, to honor oldcrow and mariarider‘s (and Jason, of course) appearance in the Bay Area, and got home and sorted the Mirrodin cards we got yesterday.
On a side note, now that Friendster seems to have cooled down, and most of the people who were going to get on it, have already… I can start to see a mental image of how the different social groups are oriented. I may even draw a chart… depending on how bored I get.
Oh man, it’s midnight already? Time to go to sleep…
