So I repeat myself because I want everyone to go. This Saturday, December 3rd is the Winter Heat party at Agua De Beber Capoeira Arts Academy. Doors open at 9pm. It'll be fun. There will be fire dancing, a DJ, capoeira demonstrations, etc. Lots of cool Brazilian music. Everyone should go and it's only 10 dollars to get in. What a deal! Everyone who can should attend. Adrienne and I will not be able to give anyone a ride because we are going to Trans Siberian orchestra before hand then going to the Capoeira party afterwards, but we'll be there, so all of you should be too.
Need more info on the location? Go here -> http://www.adbcapoeira.com/index.htm
You can also find out about classes if anyone should decide they want to try it out.
That's it. And did I mention you should all go?

Due to certain circumstances involving school among other things, I will be unable to allow anyone into my home until December 8th

An Immodest Proposal...

(i was never one for Jack Thompson)

Here's my immodest proposal:
Seems like there's not a lot going on with people in regards to my Exalted Game.
People are, for lack of a better word, lackluster regarding it. (Excepting Chase, who asks me about it all the time, and always suggests dates and times, and calls you all up to get you in. Thanks, Chase.)
SO: My proposal, really this time:
i can (A) Continue my game, as it has begun, in a day and time slot of the collective choice of the players, OR i can (B) Start a Mage: The Ascension Game, to give peeps a nice little change of pace. As i recall, the last time we had a good ol' game of WoD was Chase's Vampire game, and the last time we had a good ol' game of Mage, i got bribed by Lenny. Sounds good to me!!
Comments? Questions?
Oh, also: since i'm excruciatingly familiar with most of the M:tA system, i'll be able to handle more players. Hint, hint.

Another endorsement for my Capoeira place.
When: December 3rd. Doors open at 9pm

Where: 1811 Del Paso Blvd.

It's just a big party to help raise money for the Capoeira school and show people what it's all about. There will be live Capoeria performances and Fire Dancing as well as DJ Larry Rodriguez. Everyone who is interested in Capoeira this is a really good chance to meet some of the people there as well as have a good time. And if you're not interested in Capoeira, you can still have a good time. And it's only $10. So yeah, go have some fun, and warm yourself this cold December at the Winter Heat party.

Hey y'all just wanted to post that the next SPW show will be on the 4th of Dec. and on that note I am sorry for not being very verbal to the mass who are interested in such events, I'll do a much better job of posting such dates and importances. Other than that last show went great I got to meet two legendary WWE H.O.F. the Iron Shiek and Capt. Lou Albano. Unfortunatly on sunday morning Eddie Guerrero was found in his hotel room passed away and it's a great saddness that he was taken away from us but all things happen for a reason so I hope he's in a better place. Well I'm sleepy so it's time for a nap.

D&D didn't happen this week. Neko was at a wedding, so we couldn't round everyone up, and oh well. We won't be able to play this week, as stated earlier about the whole step-dad going away party, but the following week maybe. I know it's the weekend of Thanksgiving, but Thanksgiving is the Thursday before, so I figure everyone will be around,all stuffed with turkey, and docile and stuff, so they'll be easily rounded up for D&D. If this is not doable, let me know, because that will delay the game quite a bit. On a similar note, I need to get some info about everyone's characters. I need to know current level, hp, classes, and exp total. Post in comments here or send e-mail, either works. Neko, I need you to relay this to Jess, or make her check the blog herself. But yeah, everyone don't delay, send that info today.

I wanted to thank all my friends who were at the Improvathon the other night for being there.

When so many of the Club's own 'blood family' couldn't show, it meant a great deal to me that you let us have the honor of entertaining you for an evening.

For those who weren't able to make it, I hope you're well and see you see soon!

SHAMELESS PLUG FOR SOMETHING I THINK MY FRIENDS SHOULD GO TO.

On Saturday, November 19th, there will be a African-Brazilian Dance worksho. It's from 11am-1pm, and it's suppose to be a lot of fun. You can learn some African/Brazilian dance, as well as meet some really cool people.

It's at Capoeira Arts Academy. 1181 Del Paso Blvd. That's where I do my Capoeira. And it costs $15. I really think everyone who can afford to and has time that likes music or dance at all should go. I unfortunately cannot make it, so don't count on me being able to take you. That is the same day we're having a going away party for my step-dad (he's going to Afghanistan for at least 18 months, maybe longer) so I'll be home cleaning for most of the day, then home at the party for the rest. That also bars me from doing anything else that day in case you're wondering.

So yeah. Go to the workshop, so you can tell me about it, since I won't be there.

Improvathon Update!

John's Team, the Improstitutes/Improvocateurs will be taking the stage on 11/11/05 at 8pm! And Liam's on the team too! ARC, Room 533 (Just South of Davies Hall, in the portables)... Live Jazz is scheduled for the afternoon, and we've got a super family friendly block set from 10am-2pm.

Monday, November 07, 2005

for set {Gold_Faction.exe -members}
if {want/can play= 1} {goto comment, post}
else {end}
Cond:
if {Gold_Faction.exe -members !set= 1} {game}
else {end}
Ok. Players of my D&D game. I need a little information real quick. This weekend will be the final session of this storyline, and I need to know if anyone has any availability problems this weekend. I don't know how long the session will run, but I want to bring an end to this story. Since Lenny has died a tragic death at the hands of.... well he died, we will not need to take into account his lightboard schedule. But everyone else? Drake? Neko (& Jess)?, are you working? DO you have some other plans on Saturday? Let me know NOW! I think Adrienne actually has Saturday off, so if no one else has schedule problems, we'll probably start mid-late afternoonish instead of early evening. But I must know schedules! Otherwise it will be usual times and all that. So yeah. And anyone else who sees this, nag Drake to check it too, because I know he doesn't check the knoll very often.

I might run my game this weekend, but that is subject to change becuase it's my birthday saturday. I have to go to a thing at my grandma's anyway, so I wont be around till that night. oh, and Exalted is good.

Edit:
Yeah, just found out my weekend is gonna be teh suck.
Friday: Work.
Saturday: Work, then birthday thing at grandparents till around 8... Then sleep RIGHT after...
Sunday: Work...6 bloody AM till 4 bloody PM! Fuke, frick, flibityjibit! Then my mom wants to take me out to dinner right afterward. ick ick ick ouch. Sooooo....... Most defenetly no game (sorry guys). and I hope to see someone maybe monday or somthing.
So everyone knows, I took down John's Nightwish post. It was hiding the advertisement for the improv-a-thon. Anyway, if you'd like to see it again, speak with John, he might have it saved, if not, he can give you gist of it.
Sure, I'm up for Exalted. I don't work weekends, so those days are good for me. Nick, are we playing your D&D this week? To all my players, next time we play will be the last session in this story line, from there we'll decide what characters want to stay on, and possibly take on another player if someone wants to play. Anyway, that's not this weekend, but (hopefully) the following weekend. I think that's all.

so, once again, who want to play this week?
It's not a great week for me, schedule-wise, but i should be available all weekend, from friday through sunday.
This saturday is the tech rehearsal day for Sacramento city college's production of I Remember Mama and yours truly is the light board operator for the show so I'll be unavailable on saturday between the hours of 11am and 7pm.
