mikeknFriday night was an SCA demo at the family fun night of one of the local elementary schools. We had a great turn out and put on a good show. I taught some games to a dozen or so kids. Sent a few parents home with copies of the rules and diagrams to make their own boards. We should have checked with the school to see if we could sell game boards and t-shirts, but no big deal.
Saturday was some gaming - good sized crowd. First I played Citadels with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
shadowpony, moirla, mare_in_flames, and notshakespeare. It's a pretty good game, easy to learn but with some depth and good player interaction to keep it interesting. After that several games were running at once, including Seafarers of Catan, Shadows Over Camelot, Empyrean, Inc., Paranoia Mandatory Bonus Fun Card Game and Hero Clix. We didn't get to play Killer Bunnies or Carcassonne - Hunters and Gatherers both of which I was hoping to try.
The group was rounded out byvonbryan, ubidubium, singewulf, rarcke, revsaintmichael, rjsilverthorn, neoparn, merricke, lemonherb, kathy_the_geek, hughcasey, deni_the_pooh, beckishadow and our friends Paul, Merrilee, Mike and Joy (all of whom need to join the collective and get LJ accounts ;) )
Gaming didn't go too late and we ended the evening hanging out with Paul and Merrilee and hearing about their trip to England.
Sunday we were pretty lazy, getting up late, having meals made from what ever was lying around on the table, etc. We watched Underworld, which was not as bad as I expected. Not a classic by any means, but an ok action flick (with vampires and werewolves).
Later we went out to catch up withrevsaintmichael and friends to see Underworld Evolution. I was quite surprised to discover it was a romantic family film (with vampires, werewolves, sex and lots of bloody fights). Good fun. Got to meet kemidra, yagathai, purple_medusa, and bluharlequin after the film, but we weren't able to join them for gelato - violet_amy needed real food badly and had a hankering for Outback.
