Game Night on June 7th


The next game night is June 7th at 5:00pm (please note the time change). We will be dedicating the first two hours (5:oo - 7:00) to children's games. So far on the agenda for kids we have:
Pirates
Cadoo
Pokeman
Weather permitting, we will have hopscotch and four square outside.

If there is anything else you would like to add to the children's game agenda, post your ideas below.

Since gas prices are high and the economy basically sucks, many of us will not be vacationing anywhere exotic this summer. Therefore, the theme for the night will be Travel! (thanks for this idea, Pam.) This will have less to do with the games we play and more to do with food and beverages. Weather permitting we will set up the carport as an place to eat (much like the South American party last year). Here's the deal:

1) Please bring food or beverage that reminds you of your best travel experience.
2) If you have any travel oriented games, bring them.
3) If you have any music that reminds you of vacations past, bring that too.
4) Please post a list of games you would like to play that night.
5) If you are attending, please post a comment and let me know how many are in your party. This will be our new RSVP system.

We will try to have the bar set up in the backyard.

As far as the Deadwood game night on July 26th, we have decided to make that adults only. With the themes of gambling and drinking, it only seems appropriate that kids are not involved...

However, we would be willing to host a kiddie western themed game event earlier the same day. Also, Julie and Howard have offered to host a kids game camp up at the Catamount Institute this summer with Dustin as the officiating game master. If there are any young people interested in this, please let us know.

Have a great weekend, everybody!

BTW, I will be creating a game night invite for June 7th that will be posted on the blog in PDF form. This will keep up the tradition of goofy over-the-top invites. Also, they can be printed off and given to those who have limited or no access to a computer.

Can we bring pot brownies? Or is that considered corrupting the youth and failing to worship the gods of the city?

jana said...

I think that falls into the category of "recreational food" rather than "vacation food."

I'd like to add this game to the kids' docket. Fun for BOTH kids and adults, truly. I'll bring it and I hope there's someone (Evie? Mimi?)) who will want to play it with me......
(we LOVE this game!!!!!)

Anything with the word labyrinth in it has got to be good. Sounds Great! This will definitely be added!

John and I (Jenny) will definitely be there, possibly with two halflings.

jana said...

Halflings are welcome. We'll set aside some seed cakes, tea and hobbit sized game tables just for them.
(Reading the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings always made me hungry. They'd talk about seedcake and jam and bacon and ooo Beorn's place with the honey and butter and bread. Then they wouldn't eat for days, then they would get some food...oh and lembas, don't forget the lembas)

Sorry, I'll be sipping vodka tonics with Arianna Huffington in a Minneapolis strip-joint....

jana said...

Do you think Arianna Huffington would want to come to game night? Tell her its far more entertaining than Minneapolis. Whether it's more entertaining than a strip club is up for debate.....

I bet she would be good at Junta...
