Happy Belated 25th Birthday Baycon!

Here’s an update, seeing as I’ve sorta stopped posting (again, I promise, I’ll get into the habit of it eventually)
Things have been busy for me as I’ve gone home for a fortnight for Easter and things haven’t really been quiet.
First off, I dragged Nicktendo back with me, kicking and screaming, for the first week-end
During that week-end, my parents decided, on a whim, to buy a PS3 as a gloried DVD/Blu-ray player (the old DVD player has decided that it doesn’t have to listen to what we tell it anymore)
This has still amazed me as I have been trying to get my parents into gaming (well, video gaming), and so far, it’s only been Mario Kart, Guitar Hero and Singstar, so I think this may be a step in the right direction

On the Monday (22nd), I managed to become an admin of a Facebook page and the forum that goes with it
http://www.facebook.com/ho.kago.tea.time.htt
That’s right, its a K-ON! fan page (ONE day, I am going to update without a single mention or reference to K-ON!)
Check it out, we’re always happy to welcome new fans and to introduce people to the series that haven’t seen it yet

Following that, I visited my cousins for the later part of the week, mainly for gaming 😀

Sunday Lunch was also fairly interesting as my Grandma came down to visit me and Dad thought my other Grandparents were coming (Dad does the food shopping, oops), suffice to say, we had a good amount of left-overs for the following week: during which I got most the stuff for my cosplay, as well as The World Ends with You, and we went to Baycon

For those of you who don’t know, (and I’m guessing that is a good number of you) Baycon is a boardgames convention held at the Exeter Court Hotel and this year is its 25th year. Baycon is usually held during the last week-end of easter, lasting from Thursday to Sunday, though this year, it took advantage of the bank holiday monday.

Baycon is great fun and I recommend going to anyone who has an interest in playing boardgames or if you need testers for new games

I played many games during the looong week-end and I believe the time was thoroughly enjoyed by all. I managed to come third in a 7 Wonders tournament, just 2 points behind my brother, which was a nice surprise.

And I’ve managed to lose my momentum with this update (I was gonna talk about Baycon more) but I’ll end it here

See you around
