Memorial Day Weekend 2012

[Sil Odan]

All right, Gentlemen...let's step it up a notch. I propose (stole the idea from Servo) to host a gaming blitz to knock out some games Memorial Day Weekend. Let us commemorate fallen U.S. soldiers by drinking beer, eating brats, and kicking each other's butt in battle! I'm available to do this either Saturday or Monday (have a BBQ to go to Sunday), or even both days if everyone wants to knock this round out. So give me an idea which works best for you guys.

I plan to move my gaming table to the garage; Servo can bring his as well so we can get a couple of games going on. I'll plan on grilling, we can drink beer, smoke cigars...so this is what I need from you all: A RESPONSE! I need to know who is in. I recently texted everyone about this and with the exception of one commited yes I got either a half-assed "maybe" or nothing at all, so...if I don't hear back from everyone by this Thursday, the idea will be tossed. No offense, but I had someone tell me once that they waited to answer just in case something better came along. I'm not going to waste my time and go through a crap ton of work to prep something if no one can bother giving me a "Yes" or "No".

My apologies for the rant, but I felt it had to be said!

I am in. I only have 1 game left, but I will come both days just to watch. I am playing Ellis, so I will PM you specifics.

Who is invited? If this is just a gaming group thing, ok. But if you are inviting a bunch of people over I think focus will be lost.

I will gladly donate my table, unless it is easier for anyone to come to my house to get their games in.

I would like to say, no one has to give up their entire weekend. The idea is to schedule your games this weekend and play. We all have 3 days off, there is no reason not to get 1-3 games in AND everyone will still have plenty of time to grill, do yardwork, house hunting, do chores, or any number of other things. Early morning, late night, whatever.

The invite was meant just for the gaming group, however if kids and/or significant other wanted to/had to come with, I certainly would not be opposed to that, family is always welcome. I didn't invite anyone else, though. I wanted the focus to be on finishing this round.

Nobody needs to give up their entire weekend, I just thought I would offer two days in case one of those days didn't work for everyone. I figured it might be fun for the five of us to make it a one day event if possible. If everyone would rather just plan individual games rather than a group event, that's fine, too. Saves me the trouble of cleaning out the garage and hauling the table downstairs!

No other responses? No one else wants food, beer and battles? Vikings would be so disappointed in you guys!

Vikings would be so disappointed in you guys!

The Minnesota Vikings can suck it! I would love to play that weekend. Saturday morning is out because we are running a 5K. It's also my Mom's birthday weekend so I will likely be getting together with her at some point. Were you guys set on a particular day or spreading over the three days?

[Servo]

Whenever or wherever over the course of the 3 days.

Talk to whoever you have games with, and lets arrange times. Ellis is offering his house on Saturday and Monday. I will offer my house or the loan of my table on any day.

There is also the GW stores... if you can stomach it.

Shall we get a schedule going?

To make a slight adjustment...I'll only be offering my home on Saturday. I have to dedicate one of these days to getting some house projects done that Gail and I have been putting off for too long.
