Bay Area TableTop fans - come hang out with us August 2nd!

    Hellooooo!

    Geek & Sundry is going north...at least for a day! Come hang out with us Thursday, August 2nd in Palo Alto. We're co-sponsoring a board gaming party with our friends from Days of Wonder (Ticket to Ride, Small World). The event is totally free, so if you're in the area, come hang out with us and play some board games into the night!

    Here are some of the details from Days of Wonder's invitation:

    Days of Wonder cordially invites you to a night of beer, pizza and braggadocio. It's an event we like to call “Beat the Founders” and it falls somewhere between “steel cage death match” and “fun party with board games.” Oh, and it’s being co-sponsored by both AOL, and by Geek & Sundry, creators of the Wil Wheaton show “Table Top” and big Days of Wonder fans. 

    Days of Wonder founders Eric Hautemont and Mark Kaufmann will be on hand to play a game or three against those brave souls with the audacity to believe they can best them at their own titles. When not punishing challengers, Eric and Mark will be floating around giving expert tips of strategy and teaching newbs how to play the superstar board games Ticket to Ride and Small World. 

    We’ll have music, food, booze, schmoozing, and fun plus giving out prizes, games and other cool stuff. 

    Where:
    AOL
    395 Page Mill Rd., 3rd Floor
    Palo Alto, CA 94306
    P. 650.937.2080

    When: 
    6:00pm on Thursday, August 2nd, 2012
    Please RSVP by July 30th, 2012

    Hope to see you soon :)

    Beverly

    How kid-friendly is the event?  I've got an 11-year-old who would love to be there.

    I am totally down for this! But I've got a previous engagement at 6:30; will try to avoid :D 
    Need any other-type support in the area? 

    "Yeah, I stole your sweet roll. What are you gonna do about it?"
    "Sweet Mother, sweet Mother-"

    I am SO in! This is literally the best news I've heard in weeks!
    I have to make sure though, is it just 21+, because I'm 17.
