Another social gathering: Morning movie and lunch!

Author note: this is a scheduled post while I'm away-please check the List for any further updates-Thanks!!)

We are certainly busy this weekend! :) If Origins didn't tire you out too much, join us tomorrow for a morning movie and lunch!

We will meet around 10am at Eastern or Lennox AMC theaters for a morning movie (priced around $5) and then afterwards lunch at Johnny Rockets to discuss the movie. (Please check the Yahoo list to find out where we will be meeting. I didn't catch the update before I left for vacation-I'm sorry!)

DWC at Origins

Author note: this is a scheduled post while I'm away-please check the List for any further updates-Thanks!!)

Just a quick reminder that tomorrow we will be attending Origins as a club! We will meet at registration (near the long escalators), around 10am.

Origins is a gaming convention held in the convention center every year - a lot of fun guests, games of all kinds, and a pretty good dealer room is the tradition. Tickets run under $10 a person, and coupons may be available for a buy one/get one free discount in local papers. For more information, see http://www.originsgamefair.com/

Be sure to check the Yahoo list for any last minute updates!

Hey, hey! Don't forget!

Hiya, everyone! Boy, I'm excited-today is my Friday! Tomorrow, I will be on VACATION! Yay!

Okay, lots of stuff coming up this weekend. First, if you haven't already done so, vote in the poll Carrie created for which movie you would like to see on Sunday. It closes today, so head on over to the Yahoo group, and put in your vote! :)

Saturday, June 27th we are meeting at Origins at 10am.
Sunday, June 28th, is morning movie and lunch, starting at about 10am.
Thursday, July 2nd is our steering meeting starting at about 7pm, place TBA.

Since I will be on vacation, and I'm not sure how much time I'll have for internet access, I will be setting this blog to post reminders for the weekend events. Be sure to keep an eye on the Yahoo list for final plans for next Thursday's steering meeting.

TAFN-everyone have a great weekend!!! Don't forget, the Next Doctor premiere's on BBC America this Saturday at 9pm!

A belated welcome, and concom meeting

In my last post, I neglected to welcome our newest member, Sidley. My apologies, Sidley!!!! Welcome!!!!!! I even had it written down to write about it-I feel like such a dork. *facepalm*

I also forgot to mention that this Sunday is the Marcon Concom meeting-starting at 1pm at the Whetstone library. This is the meeting where we will vote for next year's chair. If you were on staff and would like to vote-come to the meeting on Sunday!

TAFN (I think!) ;)

A weekend of events...

Hiya, folks! Just a reminder- it was determined at the steering meeting that our next monthly gathering would be July 27th & 28th, rather than this weekend. We have some activities planned for the weekend:

Saturday the 27th we'll attend Origins Game Fair as a club.

Origins is a gaming convention held in the convention center every year - a lot of fun guests, games of all kinds, and a pretty good dealer room is the tradition. Tickets run under $10 a person, and coupons may be available for a buy one/get one free discount in local papers.
We will meet at registration (near the long escalators).

Sunday the 28th we'll do Morning Movie and Lunch
AMC runs movies for $5 before noon, we'll see a film and then review it over at Johnny Rockets for lunch. We will be meeting at either Eastern or Lennox (final place to be determined next week)

(Thanks for the update, Maureen!)


And, finally-I know it's been a long time coming, but I did manage to post some of the pictures I took at Marcon to my Flickr account.

Here's my favorite image:

Yikes! I forgot to post this! We have a steering meeting today, starting at 7pm and running until about 9pm at the Tai's Asian Bistro! If the weather is nice, the first person there-please get a table outdoors. :)

We will be reviewing Marcon, and discussing who we might support in the upcoming chairman election. Also, bring your ideas for a place to hold our June meeting. :)

Hope to see you tonight!
