They closed the store in 2007. When I went to BashCon Mind Games was next to the bowling alley near Reynolds and Central. That was a lot of years ago, let me tell you. Anyway, I knew the people who owned Mind Games pretty well, and they always did a good job with the convention. The SCA generally put in an appearance and that was interesting.Mad Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06190137186843630543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1531929769862216250.post-1596831549672022552011-07-12T18:35:43.616-04:002011-07-12T18:35:43.616-04:00It is so cool that you went to Origins!

I prefer to believe he lost a bar bet.<br /><br />I didn't play any games while I was at Origins. My entire reason for going was to attend the writing seminars. I may get involved with the gaming aspect next year.<br /><br />I've seen the term Steampunk being used, but I never really knew or understood what it meant.

It's a new-ish trend--though the steampunk idea has been around for years, it's only now catching fire in literature, music, and fashion. It's definitely a modern take on the 19th century.<br /><br />Hope you enjoyed the gaming!Stephanie Loréehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03512485557711771802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1531929769862216250.post-7708990222407245822011-06-29T16:29:06.992-04:002011-06-29T16:29:06.992-04:00"I thought about this for a second. "Yo..."I thought about this for a second. "You know, I'm a gun owner and a shooter - " I started, but he cut me off.<br /><br />"Oh. Well, in that case - I live on a small farm just North of Dayton, Ohio and I shot the son of a bitch out back behind the barn. I tanned the hide myself. Like it?" "<br /><br />That was a man who knows his audience. One of the world's commonplace genius'!<br /><br />We were once staged in a hotel in Dallas, waiting to roll in to a hurricane somewhere. A sign in the lobby advertised an Anime' Convention. As I was bored, I wandered in and checked out the exhibit hall. <br /><br />I figured I might be a little out of my element when I passed a man, 6'3", 240lbs dressed in a Japanese/Catholic school girls uniform, holding a teddy bear and sucking on a lolly-pop. I live in So Cal, I could live with the uniform - but the full beard threw me.<br /><br />Thanks for the post.Capt. Schmoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02394460305247627610noreply@blogger.com
