It was a busy social weekend

[dagibbs]

Friday night had a pleasant dinner with my two house-mates, and one of them treated! Yay.

Saturday got a bunch of stuff done during the afternoon, including cooking a chili and making a potato salad for the two potlucks this weekend.

Saturday, metalana's potluck and scrabble evening went quite well. But, as I was primarily supplier of venue, I didn't record all the details. My chili did go over well, and I'm glad I made it, as it was mostly consumed as this was a potluck where most didn't bring many-course-ish stuff.

Sunday morning, ragnhildr arrived at a record-setting early time for gaming, a full two hours early. She did call first, and I was up, and had been for a bit, so it was ok.

Gaming really got started when iclysdale joined us shortly after 1:30, and we played a game of Carcassonne, won handily by Ian. While we were playing, pezchica, scubajim, and sofiandos showed up. We split into two groups, on played Puerto Rico, won by pezchica, and the other played (appropriately, I think) a couple games of San Juan, both of which I won. After a short wait for synchronisation, another game of Puerto Rico (with a slightly different group was played), won by Ian, and two games of Samurai were played, won by me and ragnhildr. Our other room-mate also joined for the 2nd game of Samurai, raising the total gamer count to 7.

Around about this point, people started showing up with food... actually buttongirl and ansfrid showed up with huge piles of food, most of which they refused to share. The big meanies. (Buttongirl is cooking/pre-cooking for the Feast of Hare (sp?), and is storing a bunch of it in my deep freeze, so this was a storage drop off.) Unfortunately, Ian had to leave. foms arrived with a new game, and some food, and leolac got back from a course. We waited until about 7:15, then dug in to the grub. Part way through dinner, g42 showed up and introduced herself, then while we were relaxing after dinner, lj-less?-Carleen joined us, intelligently choosing to bring desert knowing her timing. Total of, if I've counted correctly, 11 for potluck.

Thanks to leolac, foms, and ragnhildr for help with cleanup.

I must do this again, probably in two months time. :)

two month's time, eh? You were thinking of planning something for next weekend, lol.

I'm glad we booked other activities though, =).

Yeah, I got that with the "another game of Puerto Rico (with a slightly different group was played), won by Ian" statement, cause iclysdale was too long to type again.

Two months for the next gaming and poly potluck. I was talking about just doing a gaming get-together for next weekend.
