This weekend was one of my weekends "off" of work, and despite the back street conditions from the 10" of snow we received earlier this week, I was able to participate in two events associated with my science fiction club,
Star Base Andromeda.
On Saturday night, we had our first SBA Potluck in an entire year -- in this case it was a pizza potluck, as we didn't get started planning with enough time for participants to whip up homemade goodies. Turnout was fairly light, but that was (in part) because of the late date of the arrangements, and (in part) because of the bad travel conditions. Never-the-less, it was fun to see everyone who did show up, and we had some good genre-themed discussions.
On Sunday afternoon, we had our first Game Week meeting in months, with attendees playing several rounds of
The Settlers of Cataan. I always enjoy a good "strategy" game, and Cataan really fits that bill. Personally, I prefer combined
Settlers and
Seafarers of Cataan together, but that really only works well with larger groups of players.
My thanks to the SBA members who attended both of these gatherings -- after months of somewhat dormant SBA activity, it was definitely refreshing to be as fannish active as I was this weekend!
