Arisia Convention

muttstain has announced his next gaming party weekend. As I did last time, I have decided to make an effort to find all the cool gamer grrls and guys and tell them about it.

Matt of FRAGS (Framingham Area Gamers Society) announces:
Join me for a weekend of games and movies in Framingham starting at 7:30 PM Friday October 20th and running through midnight Sunday night October 22nd.

It's time for another weekend of games and movies. Since this one will
be so close to Halloween, I encourage people to come in costume.

I have been running these events 3-4 times a year for nearly 25 years. For those not familiar with the details, dinner is provided on Saturday night (weather permitting there will be a cookout), otherwise I cook up a large pot of rather spicy chili, and many people are kind enough to contribute pizzas, chickens, and the like. Food donations are appreciated, though not required.

I have hundreds of board, card and party games to choose from, but feel free to bring your own. There's a 9-foot pool table, a retro video game library in the basement, featuring 100's of released and never-released games for the Atari 2600, Atari 5200, Colecovision, Odyssey 2, and Vectrex. If the weather is nice, people can actually do outdoor games.

For people wanting a break from gaming, I have plenty of DVD's (over 1.000), mostly cheesy B-grade horror movies. I have hundreds of them, or feel free to bring your own.

This time there will be a Texas Hold'em tournament. I'm looking to have around 24-30 people participating (3 tables). More details to follow.
There is plenty of crash space for people who want to stay over, as gaming often runs until 6:00 am on Friday and Saturday night.

As always, this event is open to members of MENSA, Unity Games, Meet-in-Boston, NECG and Bostongamers. If you aren't a member of these groups, drop an email to hnybny and she'll forward your request to attend.
