Not dead yet!
May. 26th, 2006 03:45 pmWe've made it across the country to Midlothian, Virginia (outside of Richmond), now we're up in Ohio. Tomorrow, theoretically, we head to Omahaha and continue our trip home. Russet found that she's not working until Wednesday, which gives us an extra day to get home. But honestly, I'm kinda eager to get home. I'm kind of tired and recovering from a cold that I'm praying doesn't turn into a respiratory infection!
BlingFest was a huge amount of fun, and I really needed a Harley shirt and a leather vest! I've been letting my beard and hair grow wild for the last couple of months, and when I was wearing my shades and a pirate bandana, I looked like I needed to be on the back of a hog. It was pretty funny.
Friday night we played Karaoke Screams with eight people, and let me tell ya: this is a nigh-unto-perfect party game where people are in various stages of drunkenness. The card set is currently slanted towards baby boomers, but it's easy enough for you to make your own cards for it. I'm still planning on having it available for free on my web site in the very near future.
To give you an example of the fun we had: at least three glasses were knocked over and one glass broken. Alcohol much? :-)
Sunday night my wife and I and our hostess played two games of mine that had never been played before, Waste of Celluloid and Renaissance Brown-Noser. Waste worked amazingly well, I'm still doing some rules refinement and adding some cards to it, but the game is definitely fundamentally sound. Brown-Noser was really an alpha-test, I didn't have any formal rules for it and largely made it up as we set-up and played. Still, the premise of the game seems to work, so we'll see how it develops.
I really love the title Waste of Celluloid, but it's not really appropriate to the game now that I've played it, so I'll be working on a new title. Likewise Renaissance Brown-Noser is a working title.
