Under estimating DC traffic? On the road now and I will not get there probably for two hours. PS I am by DC.

Edit: could someone post or pm me the address of the hotel?

For anyone that may be over at the hotel or heading that way, we're actually up at Zeb's and my house for the next half hour at least. I'll pm people the address here.
This is the hotel address though: 6323 Ritchie Hwy
Glen Burnie, MD 21061

I'm not so sure about that. We played a game this morning that revealed your closest challenger - Katie.

I'd like to apologize for my ghetto set of CAH. Glad we figured out who the worst among us is.

Btw, I didn't take nearly enough pictures. There's a video of SirSix getting mocked by the Danger Committee though!

Please post the video! Also, your copy of CAH was great. Its a dirty gritty game and I think your cards really added to the atmosphere of the game.

So, it turns out my Autumn Amber was far more popular than I'd anticipated. The keg is nearly empty! I can't begin to express how happy it makes me that you all like it so much.

I had an absolutely amazing weekend with all you folks and it was wonderful to put names to faces.

Given that everything is all swirly and floaty with pink flashing lights, I'm assuming I'm a little jetlagged right now, so Imma going to head to bed before I fall asleep on my keyhgv blk

I am so glad I got to make this one. The Ren Fest was awesome, and I love meeting new Playgrounders. Monkey, Succubus, Skami and Isaac - so glad we got to meet you! Also Ginger (Archives Ninja?)

So...is it too soon to start planning Myrtle in March?

On the Myrtle in March thing:

After perusing a variety of travel options, I have three basic choices:

1) Pay $40 bucks to Greyhound up to and from Chicago then ~$260 for tickets to and from Myrtle. This constitutes the cheap and fast option, if incredibly inconvenient.

2) Fly straight from Indy for ~$430. Fast, convenient and a price to match.

3) Greyhound all the way. At $178 for the round trip, it is by far the cheapest option. Downsides include taking the Greyhoud at all and, of course, 20+ hour travel times.

So... unless somebody wants to hook me up with cheap flight tickets, it looks like Greyhound will win on the price factor alone.

Yes. Yes it is. As I'm currently broke until 2099 or something like that. D:

We have a pull-out couch and some floor space for anyone who needs it. We also have 2 1/2 bathrooms, so just let us know.

We are thinking about making Pirate's Voyage a thing.
