Edit to add: CptDomano twisted my arm to just take the whole day off on Friday, so I will be at the morning festivities after all!

Guess who will be watching Eclipse videos at home this week?

Yeah, I had to twist pretty hard, too.

Tonight is Hannah's birthday. Tomorrow a horde of Goodjers descends upon Nashville like a biblical plague. Which will result in more One Direction merchandise? Only the historians will be able to tell for sure.

I plan on starting the drive after I get out of work today to cut that in half or so. I can't wait to get out of here.

I think you know the answer to this.

All Daisy Dukes are Taint-Flavored Daisy Dukes after CptDomano is through with them.

Are you going to PM some contact info for those of us flying in tomorrow? Or is this how the games begin? (finding our way to your house)

Pffft. Finding the house is just the first game. Leaving alive... There's the real challenge.

PM sent. If anyone else needs my contact info, let me know.

Shhh! Don't tell him the secret of TNGD!

You can check out anytime you like / But you can never get the stench of the taint-flavored lip gloss off your liiiiips…

Someone get Don Henley on the phone. We got this.

I wouldn't google "taint flavored lip gloss" if I were anyone.

Disclaimer: I am at work, so there is no way in hell that I am looking!

The Boogle has landed!

Thought I felt a disturbance in the force.

Stupid doc appointments and work deadlines. Next year I should be able to make it.

Bumping for anyone that missed it. Joining this chat will keep you in touch with us throughout the weekend.

If you're arriving in town before 5:30 and are slumbering at Casa del Trichy, shoot me a PM and I'll send you Jen's information. She will give you directions.

I'm in Jacksonville right now. Taking my time so I don't get there too early.

Will start the drive after work, probably around 19:30 ETA.

I'm getting in later on Friday, so I'll show up sometime in the morning on Saturday.

So... many... Goodjers in my house. My youngest did remember carrotpanic as "The fancy one" from last year. But she seemed a bit baffled at the onslaught of nerds that have occupied her home. Although not quite as baffled as my oldest daughter when she stumbled upon this happening.

I think I may have made a terrible mistake...

This was supposed to be a prank on Trichy...somehow.

I think the cat is the one that's the most offended.

Day Zero recap: met KarmaJay, boogs, cpt, Trichy at the airport. Jen made everyone amazing potato/ham soup and chicken chili, ice cream cake, drank a good deal of beer (welcome to Labatts, southerners). KJ and I partnered against boogs and obirano in a game of 42 (Texas domino trick taking game) that we all learned together. Simple yet with a lot of room for finesse, with bidding, variable suits, and so forth. After that we played a lot of Towerfall, Samurai Gunn, and some Super Pole Riders. Big debate over if TF or SG was better--put me down for TF. I almost won once! Redeemed myself in SPR though. Then, well, you see what happened up there. Obirano snored really hard. Boogs got mad.

The best part of the whole thing was the knock on the bedroom door, which I opened to find my 15 year old daughter staring balefully at me, muttering, "Why are there a bunch of men in footie pajamas in our living room?"

Oh, we also played Skull and Roses last night, which was rad.

Right now Eclipse is going down hardcore. End of turn 5 and player v player is just starting...

Stilgar just wiped out nearly all of what was left of Cathadan after he got thwacked by some NPCs. Minarchist seems to be in the lead or is at least in control of the center and has everyone on his doorstep.

And water is wet, and the pope is Catholic.

Also, the sky is blue.

Just drinking Labatt and eating Krystal with Cpt and Boogs. You know, because we hate our bodies.

WATER BURGER FOREVER

Cath hung on with one ship until the second to last round, gritty space fool that he is. Minarchist was about to permanent ally with me when I last left off but went back on the deal. Stilgar, Trichy and I agreed to form an alliance but soon realized Stilgar couldn't due to map positioning, and then Trichy ran his ships into Cpts stalwart D leaving me without a capable dance partner. In the end I stumbled to a middle if the pack finish although I did hilariously crush Trichy's feeble army with my antimatter splitting point defense drones.

It was a very tight finish between Stilgar and Minarchist (who held onto the center miraculously), and obirano basically missed hitting a 3 on two dice rolls that let Stilgar preserve a one point victory. Phew.
