the blue blog archives: on pleasure bent again

Vacation! It's time for our bi-annual trip out to Columbus for a big boardgaming convention. Since my usual knitting time will be filled with gaming for the next week, I won't have any knitting progress to show. So I'll be on blogging vaca for a week and a half! I still might sneak up a picture or two, because, well let's face it, I'm a blogging addict, but there won't be knitting, I can tell you that.

I'm a little addicted to living vicariously through your knitting!
But, have a good trip anyway. And the convention sounds like a blast -- please fill us in on any new & great games. (I'm still stuck back on Crainum.)

boardgaming convention!? that sounds like soooo much fun, and I can't believe i've never heard of such a thing - had I known, I would definitely have found a way to go to one! Do send up updates and tell all when you return! Have a great trip!

Wow - another gamer/knitter! I'm so excited to find another person with my favorite combo of hobbies! What's your fave game? Do you have a username on BGG? Anyway, I just wanted to say that I'm glad to see that someone else thinks this hobby combo works well, and have fun at the convention. Let us know if there's a great new game out there we should try (I've got my eye on Jambo, a relatively new 2-player game, but I haven't had a chance to play it yet so I'll be interested to hear your impressions if you get to play it).

Count me among those who would like to hear more about the boardgame convention. I thought I knew about games until I went to BGG and saw all these complicated games that I had never heard of. It sounds like a good family hobby.
