So many lovely people!! I'm almost bummed I never played any games, but we were having so much fun just sitting around and talking that there wasn't any need to find other diversions. I would apologize for my relative lack of filter, but hey, it makes for some interesting conversation topics ;P
ION, Burbank airport totally wins for having ZERO lines this evening. Like, nothing at all. I walked right up to the counter to check my bag, then walked right up to a the ticket-checker who seemed to be waiting for me. Then moseyed leisurely to an empty screening line. Went through the whole security shenanigans (taking off shoes and jacket, removing liquids and laptop and putting them in own trays, getting it all on the conveyer belt, then through the scanner) without a single person in front of me or behind me. That has NEVER happened to me. Ever. Not any one part of that, much less all three. Win! Of course now I'm regretting repacking so quickly because I neglected to move my laptop and nook charger into the carry on from checked...so fingers crossed for no missed connection because I only have one hardcover book and a phone for entertainment once this laptop battery conks in about 10 minutes. Miss everyone already!!

And miss all the talk on boobs and hiding phones there in? Pfft. It was welcome. Many interesting conversations all weekend long from everyone.
Sad to see everyone go. PC needs to come back to visit just to play Dominion with us!
And BSG! I swear I was going to ask you guys if I could just come visit one weekend to play games. It's not like flights to Burbank are expensive.
PC, we should plan it. We'll find a time when Sean and Omnis and some other folks are available.
You bet! (I still have yet to play an actual live, in person game of BSG)
Winding down. Had a fun day, starting with brunch, where I craftily snagged a seat at the middle of the long table so that I could follow the conversations at both ends, followed by a short tour of Silver Lake and Los Feliz with Sean K. as the guide (his apt. has a most impressive view). At Griffith Observatory (where the view is even better), enjoyed the planetarium show and the Tesla coil demonstration. Drove back to Pasadena with only one (brief!) accidental detour, and had dinner with ND, Pix, SailAweigh, EpicTangent, and her friend Wayne.
Forgot sunscreen again, which I am going to regret in a couple weeks.
I would love to have a game night! And once the new place is in, happy to host too. I'll have room to set up my 6' table. Lots of room! Or play on the new deck. And PC, I will be right next to Long Beach Airport, so could easily pick you up there too. I think bay area to BUR or LGB are about the same price. Just another option. Maybe we could arm twist Erin to join us, since she missed out on game playing. I'm sure Pix wouldn't mind an erin visit. Just an idea!
