highlight recap in no particular order
i had a lot of fun and hope to see y'all again someday! on the west coast! at the beach!!!
- surprise lecture on the history of yugoslavia by prof. snow, super interesting, new love for brutalism discovered
- book of mormon was pretty fantastic at making me both laugh and feel terribly uncomfortable. i will keep my sentimental frog forever
- when going to the east village, getting offered all manner of narcotics along the way, followed by waiting in the sodden rain outside a japanese restaurant for sopko to show up w/jim. meal mix'n'match = new tastes are derived from alchemy
- extremely deep <3 to <3 with andy in the actually-a-real-place 'kill devil house of dark spirits', a cocktail bar a few blocks away with perfect decor. it's hard to be an adult.
- MSTing w/Mei the absurdly terrible guilty gear not!anime, with apologies to jim. at the end the flan was a lie (or I fell asleep and missed it)
- super a pretty cool guy, anyone who buys me a coffee first thing in the morning is pretty much my BFF and NOW CARTHRAT WILL DIE FOR YOU, currently attempting to embody wheel-of-fortune
- andy defeats me 12 rounds to 2 at CTB and expresses concern he isn't overpowered enough; played UNIB for the first time and was charmed; revenge dunking took place in GGXRD, a Totally Easy Game To Pick Up And Start Playing, try it, it's fun!
- spontaneously running D&D starter pack for met/ciato/andy/gorth/summer/sopko and it is 2018 why is 'goblins attack' still the first thing D&D wants you to experience, this is not at all what makes fantasy cool. we can do better. we must. (ravnica.)
- finally able to talk crap about online TTrpgs and old anime over brunch with sierra, who made a heroic effort to complete a dead souls run and who I definitely owe a new game soon, and whom I now understand is responsible for getting us to play until dawn, a movie about terrible people
i had a lot of fun and hope to see y'all again someday! on the west coast! at the beach!!!
