Good party yesterday

[dagibbs]

Had quite a nice gaming & potluck get together yesterday, with a surprisingly high number of attendees -- especially considering the (fewish) RSVPs I had. It was, though, pleasantly surprising.

For gaming, we had: me who managed to triumph at Flux, ragnhildr who killed Dr. Lucky, concordantnexus, leolac, and Bronwyn (sp?) and Jason, who had to leave a bit early. Replacing Bronwyn & Jason, was the surprise (well, they'd mentioned in their LJ that they might make it, so not total surprise) arrival of i_and_t who clearly triumphed in their first game of Traders of Genoa.

concordantnexus left before the potluck, and we had the arrival of succulentpoet and three friends: Brian (including another "it's a small world moment" between him and leolac since their parents are neighbours), Steve, and Faye, con_girl, foms and to some surprise, foms's parents (though a phone call was made to check that this would be ok), Rayne, and completely without RSVPs, Luc, Heather, her baby Kale-N (no, that's not how to spell it, it's gaelic, but that's how she described how to pronounce it), and ansfrid and buttongirl both in full SCA garb.

I don't think I missed anyone. (Total 19 adults, one baby.)

[edit] - cameo by beable and also Devon was there. So, total uppped to 21 adults. [/edit]


Food was eaten, conversation was enjoyed, a speaking stick was handed around, toys were admired, and flirting happened. And, of course, lots of hugs were exchanged.

Bronwyn (sp) is metalana's younger sister, lives upstairs from Rayne, and wasn't still there when you arrived. Youngish is a touch call, as I'd say she was older than several of the people there -- probably around 30. Jason was probably asian of some persuasion, yes.

well hell....I had no idea you knew them, or that they were poly, or whatever the reason was they were there.

Bronwyn (arndis) is my younger sister, age 26. Her boyfriend tchang, Jason, is at least half Chinese. At last check they were monogamous but poly-friendly or poly-curious or whatever. My sister's and my crowds have been overlapping for years, and dagibbs probably wants to beat his neighbours at boardgames, so I introduced them.

From my conversation with Jason, I'd say poly-curious would be how they sounded to me.

And, Jason did strike me as part-asian, rather than full.

I'd met Bronwyn a couple times in passing. Both Rayne and metalana had mentioned they might like gaming, and that I should invite them over for gaming. So, given that much of my usual gaming crowd looked to not be able to make it this time, I did so. (I had not, to my knowledge, met Jason before Sunday.)
