Prezcon 2008

Another week spent in good ole C'ville. Besides getting to see my sister I headed back to play some Advanced Civ prior to Prezcon.
Trimmer and I got in early afternoon with no problems on our flight. We checked in to the hotel and then headed dowtown, where we met up with our Civ Master from Florida for some drinks down at South Street.

Tuesday was a long day of two back to back games of Advanced Civilization. From then on then the rest week was kind of a blur.
Overall I didn't seem to get as many games in as last year, but this provided more time for socializing. I can see why people go to the same cons year to year to see the same people you get to know. Loads of people are telling me to attend the WBC, but I don't go for the huge crowds that attend there. Besides, I think one week long gaming event is enough for me.

I didn't take any trophies this year (to which Robely was ecstatic) but Trimmer took trophies for Caylus, Advanced Civ, Manifest Destiny and Age of Rennaissance. And next month he is planning on storming Enlightment.

I might head that way next year instead of Prezcon, but I'm not sure yet.

Now for the bad part. US AIRWAYS SUCKS!!! *sigh*
A year and a half ago they destroyed our luggage coming back from New York. Last year they delayed our luggage on our return from Prezcon. This year they delayed my luggage on my return trip, and when I received it, it looked like it had lost a fight with Freddy Kruger.
One corner was torn and slashes down the back, but nothing seemed to be missing.
Only good part has been it is not the trip out but always the trip home.
I never seem to have problems with American or Delta. Flying, in general has become a nightmare. Note to self: finish that teleportation device
