Hi everyone! I intended to post a few notes right after our first game night. Well, you can see how well I did with that. But two weeks late is better than never, right?

About 40 people or so came to the first GAMES! event - a great turn-out for our first one! Thanks to everyone who came! I enjoyed playing with friends and also meeting several new people. Overall, I think it went very well. Everyone seemed to be having a good time. (Clay-O-Rama was certainly a big hit.) Wes Dau was the winner of the door prize drawing, and he chose The Ark of the Covenant as his prize.

The first time running a new event is always somewhat of an experiment. We tried to have some live music, but it ended up being too loud. As a result, next time we will just have an acoustic guitar - and if it's still too loud, we probably won't have any music the next time. Another area we're making some changes to is the kitchen. Since I'm not in charge of the kitchen, I'm not exactly sure what the changes are, but I think they're planning to keep the offerings a bit simpler. We should have the October menu posted soon. We have added one new game to the Prize Vault - Tongiaki. We are hosting GAMES! for you, so if you have any suggestions for anything, please let us know. We want you to enjoy your time, so we'll certainly take your feedback into consideration.

Our next event is Saturday, October 13, which is less than two weeks away. If you came last time, we hope you'll come again. If you didn't, we hope to see you this time. We know you'll have a good time!
