Iron Man/Woman Goxing!

The Highlander, CQ and I just put a good 24 hours into gaming and boxing (hereafter known as goxing until someone gives us a better name). First, we went to Panera's on Friday around 9pm to hang with the early boxers before Kitten's A Morbid Affair event on Saturday. Around 10:30, we left there and headed to Kitten's house, where CQ ran an impromptu gamin session until about 1:30 in the morning (or later, but that's when we had to leave to get home...got in bed around 3 am). We got up around 7:30 the next morning, then headed back to Buffalo to box and exchange from 10 to about 12:30 at Kitten's event, then lwent to the University of Buffalo for UBCon, a gaming convention that actually started Friday and ended today. We gamed some more from around 1:30 to about 6:30 (strangely early, really!), then went back for dinner at Chili's with more boxers for 2 more hours. When we realized a bunch of the gamers couldn't make it back to meet us again, we finally ended up calling it a night around 10 and got home about 11pm.

We had a great time doing both and only wish we could have had more TIME for both...the Highlander and I are gonna play a little more today just to get the NEED out of us before we go back to work Monday!

Still, a GREAT time was had by all, proving even MORE that we really SHOULD try a goxing event sometime!

The S & H

Box maintenance at Royalton Ravine & Let's Go Morbid!

I (the Sprite) am planning on doing some box maintenance on the set of boxes we've got at Royalton Ravine, which still have last summer's Record Holder stamps from the It's a WNY-ld Ride gathering. I'm also planning on moving the last boxes from the series (Hot Baths, Anime Babes and Ivy) to a different location so no one has to climb that huge hill anymore to get to it. I'm pretty sure they'll be out of the park entirely (thinking Williamsville in a month or so or UB this weekend).

So, if anyone wants to get those or any of the summer stamps before they go away (or just an exchange), I'll be there starting at 11 AM. Some of my students are coming with their parents, so you can get a few other exchanges as well. No matter what, wear clothes you don't care about and hiking boots...it'll be MIGHTY muddy and nasty out there!

Here's the link to both the regular permanent boxes (SOME of which are leaving): http://www.atlasquest.com/lboxes/showboxinfo.html?gBoxId=1814

and the extra stamps (ALL of which are leaving): http://www.atlasquest.com/lboxes/showboxinfo.html?gBoxId=20183

PLEASE contact me ahead of time if you plan on being out there so I know to wait for you!
