A movie where the premise is a man wakes up and discovers he’s the only person who remembers Smooth by Santana.
Also there’s a beach that makes you old.

Good trip in DC. Kinda did this one for the vibes as I’m pretty burnt out of playing. Vibes were better than the results but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ zero testing for a win and in match at 5-3 was better than I hoped for.

My friend to me: “what do you want to do in NYC?”
Me: Play Magic, do improv, get drunk. Not necessarily in that order.

I have 4 trips in May and June and flight 1/4 is booked.
Holding off on the others cause it’s a bit outside of my typically booking timeline and prices are still a little high.

Judging is cool and all till you have to book 3 events worth of flights and hotels weeks before ever seeing a dime of comp for the events.
I know it’ll all get paid out after the fact…but still 🙃🙃🙃

After three failed attempts to make even a small NYC trip these last few years…I think the stars are aligning to get me a weekend there before my improv world championship in New Jersey!
Don’t wanna jinx it yet, but things are looking optimistic.

We made it!! THREE spotlights ruined due to WOTC’s refusal to take action. Hopefully the RCQ scene can bounce back from this dumpster fire of a season.

How it feels to just love Magic the card game and know that theming doesn’t impact my enjoyment of the mechanics and gameplay.

I love my cube! I especially love that it’s a time capsule cube and I don’t have to deal with updating it every set. Super happy for those that enjoy that but I don’t think that’s for me with my current free time.
