Breaking news, Doug is not only social, he willingly enters a sushi place!

Great fun with Steve Jackson (of Steve Jackson Games) last night at Goemon. I tried mightily to restrain my geek, but it slipped. Luckily, he's a geek as well, and we had some fun industry chat. I have been officially encouraged to check the SJG wishlist and write again. Since I had my teeth in, am am still dealing with odd problems eating, and have never been a fan of sushi, I had to settle for drinking a large bottle of Kirin Ichiban.

As I said, fun night, but I was six kinds of dead by the time we wandered out. But I did get a picture!

Hey, that's great! I remember the time at a Norwescon years ago during their "Babylonian confinement" (the exile years when the convention was in Tacoma) when I took him shopping for his room party because I had a van and he was without a vehicle and I was going shopping for my room party as well. Nice guy. Glad you had a good time.

I'd only be willing to be 4 kinds of dead for that kind of night, but I am envying you.

Envy indeed. I recall playing OGRE, G.E.V., Melee, and Wizard back in high school. Reminds me that I should join the EFF.

The "nice guy" would like you to contact him for some rail neepery, actually - he's being courted for a guest spot at a con in OK, and part of the bait they're dangling is the ability to bring him in via rail.

...that's why he was out here, actually - for their 20th Anniversary party this past Wednesday.
