Fellow Badger-state Goodjers:
Psych (who's he?) will be visiting the fair city of Madison this coming weekend. This is the kick in the pants I needed to get together a long-overdue Slap and Tickle.
The plan is to hit up roller derby Saturday night (specifically, this bout for our local group, the Mad Rollin' Dolls), and to have folks over for gaming and foodstuffs Sunday afternoon / evening. (Think Sunday will be at our place, though I think Phish is much more well-equipped for console play, since Mrs. Dim and I don't have a TV).
I know Phish is in for Sunday at least, and that there are some other Goodjers in southern wisconsin who I haven't yet met in person. We'd love to fix that.
Who's in?
Speaking of pants, they are optional for this event. And by optional I mean recommended against. I'm not even packing any. WINK.
I won't be able to make the bout Saturday night, but if you all hang out somewhere after I can probably meet.
I'm in for Sunday for sure. All my consoles are back at my house in Cincinnati, so we're not missing much there tbh. I do have some board games here though which I would be happy to bring. If we're looking to commit to some time I have Arkham Horror plus a few expansions. Otherwise I have a virgin copy of RISK: Legacy as well as Seven Wonders. I may have my copy of Pandemic around here, I'll have to check.
I might have to run this past the tower. What sort of timeline are we looking at?
I might be able to join in some of the fun on Sunday afternoon. Just need to be downtown by 7pm for a work dinner.
I have a pretty healthy collection of board games (see my BGG profile below) and would be happy to teach something! Also up for video games of any sort.
Talk about bad timing! I'll be in town next week (Monday the 18th) for about a week (Fri or Sun). If any of you are still in town then, I'd love to meet you.
It's not a bluff, its a promise. You'll love it.

I will still be in town and would love to get together even if it's just for food and/or drinks.
Yeah I'd be up for that too. Lots of great places to grab a beverage in Madison!
I'm in.
Bah, plans have changed and a more experienced coworker is going instead of me. If any of you see our products in the surrounding areas, feel free to break it so I have a reason to come visit.

Bummer. Tell us what to break at least? Dimmer knows kung fu.
Thanks for the good times this afternoon guys and thanks again for hosting Dimmer. 7 Wonders was great as always and I was really glad I got to finally try out (and totally dominate Risk: Legacy. Mechsico forever!
Down for this again any time.

You should try visiting New Mechico some time. (We played a second round and opened up the "never open this packet" packet)
Hah, awesome! Jealous you guys got to give it another go.
LtR: Dimmerswitch, Psych, Dreaded Gazeebo, Phishposer, Norfair
Spoiler:Apparently Psych and I were the only ones who actually followed through on "Everyone give a thumbs-up".
Anyone want to guess where Dimmer's other thumb is located?

I had both my thumbs up. Why do you think Norfair's eyes are closed?
I'll get a shot of the board so the losers can name their minor cities (we forgot to do that after the second game). I also need to upload my video of Psych playing pool much better than I ever will.
Looks like fun! Difficult to imagine one place could contain all the awesome!

Turns out Dimmer's living room was a perfectly up to the task.

Well, if anyone would have an industrial-strength awesome containment unit disguised as a living room, it would be Dimmer.
I just want to give a warning to all who visit Dimmer. He will get you all liquored up then buy you a pink tank top.
Vis a vis the thumbs up pic, it is now clear who must be destroyed. DOWN WITH THE PHISH/NORFAIR AXIS!
Actually in the second risk game it was the Dimmer and Norfair alliance. All hail New Mechico!
Thread resurrection/hijack! [size=9]We can start a new thread I just wanted to introduce myself[/size]
So, in case you don't visit the Love thread too much..... I just took a job in Oshkosh, WI. YAY!
I don't know yet when my start date is (most likely mid-July). I am leaning towards living in Appleton instead of Oshkosh. Any tips/tricks I should know coming from mid-Ohio?
Awesome news! I kinda like the entire Fox River Valley TBH. Appleton is awesome, especially if you can find something near the river.
I'm working on planning something at my new place later this summer. I'll put a thread up to gather interest once I'm clear enough of family stuff to devote enough attention to event planning.
