Hello! Glad you could come over today to the Board Game Back Room. I was worried I'd be a bit tired today but I seem to have recovered well from gaming all weekend (and going on a scout snow trip to the mountains). Yesterday was the last day of the 3-day EGG convention here in beautiful Eugene, Oregon and when I got home I was pretty tired, plus I had one of those wake-up-with-a-headache-due-to-too-little-sleep days - the kind of headache that sticks with you all day despite taking Advil every 2-4 hours. But nothing was going to stop me from attending of course! But, that was Day 3. I should start with Day 1.

So, let me tell you about the convention! In fact, let me take you along!

DAY 1 - Friday, Feb 4, 2011 - 11:40am
Arrival at the Red Lion Inn! In through the lobby and down the stairs to the underground convention room. Just outside the door is the traditional EGG sign.

Yes, you have arrived.

I might try to make it down next year. But, same weekend as the superbowl? I guess that's a test of geekdom.

Yes, that's exactly what it is! And a TV isn't provided to watch, so you either have to go cold turkey, DVR and ignore the news until you can watch it later on Sunday, or bring an iPad/iPhone and watch/read online as you're playing

Dan, I have often opted for the DVR, going home to watch the Super Bowl later that night. This has worked well for me, and it's pretty easy to get by without learning the outcome...because let's face it - we're Geeks!
