Cripes. I had to chop text out of that last message like crazy to get down to the puny character limit, and now it dawns on me that I could have just posted a 2nd message. Duh.

Anissa, thanks for sending that link. I watched it during the Super Bowl with some friends (yeah, my big reading day went out the window), and we all got a good laugh out of it, especially the 'Slim Box' part.

I've been talking to some novice gamer friends about having low-key game nights at my house -- just a few people learning/playing standard euros like Dominion, Ticket to Ride, Agricola, etc. If you might be interested in something like that, email me at [masked].

Lol, yeah totally! Hope to see you at the next meetup, I'm pretty busy for the next few weekends, we will have to wait for fall weather.... they usually grow beards for that :)

Hello Anissa,

Welcome to the group. Hope to see you at a future event and play some board games.

Mike

Hey there, nice meeting you at the meet-up yesterday. Just wanted to send you a couple quick links to things I mentioned.

Roger Yates, the vegan sociologist from the UK: http://human-nonhuman.blogspot.com/

Psychologist Melanie Joy's book about Carnism: http://www.melaniejoy.org/why-we-love...

And here's what I think is a great overview and review of Joy's book: http://www.easyvegan.info/2010/03/01/...
