We're fast approaching on the 10 year anniversary of Arlington Board Gamers and I have a special request! That's right, it's been 10 years of pretty consistent 2nd and 4th Saturdays!
Of course, without all of YOU, there'd be little point to ABG, so to celebrate, on the 2nd Saturday of October, I'd like to try for the largest ABG game day yet. My building has a party room that is much, much bigger than my place and well suited to handling a bunch of people.
If you've ever been to an ABG game day, I'd love to see you on the 13th of Oct. If you know someone that used to come but doesn't make it so often any more, see if you can talk them into coming! Lets all get together and have a good time!
The party room has a kitchen/fridge, so they'll be refreshments and snacks, of course. There's also a TV and ping pong/pool table, though this is still mostly a game day.
I hope to see you! Who can make it?

We may be out of town but if we're not, we'll be there!
What time?

Probably be 1pm, though maybe a little earlier, if people want. Let me know if earlier works better.
Also, if you want to bring a not-normal-abger guest, that's all as normal, just let me know!

I will be there. But why can't we have it in John's apartment so we can get the full effect of a typical ABG Game Day with so many people playing so many games in a crammped space?

I will DEFINITELY be there... and congratulations to John and everyone who has been there through all/most of these 10 years (like...not me). I will likely bring Leenie for a little while so she can meet these people I talk (nothing but good things, of course!) about so much. ...Chris

We'll definitely be there - yay!
Also, I've been talking with Jon & Dave and we're going to try to get up an Artemis game or two (or three). I don't know how many people can play, how many laptops are needed or anything else, so hopefully one of the two of them will chime in. I'll be bringing my Mac, if that helps. I believe we're planning on starting between 2:00 and 3:00pm.

The game can support up to 6 players at a time normally. I can bring enough equipment for 2-3 players, hopefully Dave will bring his laptop, and 2-3 more would be very useful. There is an iOS release soon...though it will likely not be out by saturday...but who knows, maybe it will. Windows is needed (but works in virtual windows environments on macs/linux). I would prefer not to bring my desktop, so if a few people can volunteer their laptop for community use that would be awesome!

I'll bring my inspiron and my VAIO (assuming the part I need comes in first)

It is on the 'P' floor. Just check in with the front desk and they will phone down. Once you're at the P level, someone (I) will let you back in to the party room. Unfortunately, there's no direct access to the room without a key.

Re: Artemis - I just realized that I seriously doubt there is any wireless access in the party room. I assume that's needed for Artemis to work? Or can you do some kind of local thing? If need be I guess y'all can do it up in my condo.
