Patrick Korner: Gathering of Friends 2008

Howdy folks!  This is not an article, but it’s not a figment of your imagination either.  Rather, this post/column/entry/article will serve two purposes:

1) To let you know that I’m at the Gathering of Friends 2008 until Sunday, and

2) To let you know that instead of finding time at the end of each night (which is impossible) and fighting with wi-fi, I’ve elected to track what I play and do, etc. via Twitter - which I can access easily through my Blackberry.

So.  If you want to know what I’ve played, what I thought of it, etc., point your browser to:

Hopefully it won’t be a full serving of bland boringness - the idea is to use the 140 character limit Twitter imposes to keep my posts lean and mean and cut right to the chase.

In other words, not anything like how I usually write, full of byzantine twists and turns, nested parentheses and obscure references.  This should be...interesting.

Enjoy!

Twitter would be so cool to use on BGG con… Posted by Robert Ramirez on Apr 9, 2008 at 06:12 PM | #

I suspect that I will be giving it a try at BGG.Con. It may make coordinating meal runs an easier task. I’m guessing that I should up my texting limits before then… Posted by David Reed on Apr 9, 2008 at 08:51 PM | #

Coordinating meal runs, just voicing opinion on games, puzzle hunt, etc Posted by Robert Ramirez on Apr 9, 2008 at 11:08 PM | #

No twitter updates for a while. BGG is down. Another source of information on the Gathering is Doug Garrett’s blog and podcast - he has posted three podcasts from the Gathering (I’ve not yet listened to the third...): http://www.garrettsgames.com/ (since the site pulls some data from BGG, it is taking a while to load this morning) Posted by David Reed on Apr 10, 2008 at 08:53 AM | #
