Dragon*Con - Part 2, Geektastic Boogaloo

If you’re just joining us, go check out Part 1 of my Dragon*Con odyssey.

Little Shoppe of Games

This afternoon, Chad posted that he had found a new gaming store up here on my side of town. It apparently had its grand opening last month on the eighteenth. I was naturally intrigued, especially after having found a new comics shop myself over the weekend. So when I got off work […]
