Averyfest: A Pictoral Guide

Yes, I am so incredibly lame for waiting so long to post this but since the FatCast came out I was shamed into getting off my lazy ass to do it. This was the third year and I tried some news things. The most notable of which was sending my family packing. It made for a very easy time, but I dropped the ball on a few details that my wife would have been on top of.
I am incredibly thankful to all those that participated and came down. THANK YOU!!!

I also want to thank the Mystery benefactor who sent down a box of games.
John Clowdus who brought a copy of Hemlock and Omen (two outstanding games) to everyone.
And most of all, Richard Launius who lent out his clubhouse and helps me coordinate all the details.

Coming back from the airport, we decided to stop at The Varisty which is an Atlanta landmark: home of overpriced and incredibly greasy food.  It is definately between  somewhere 10th and 14th...NOT!  I circled 3 times. Duh.



-ave will shortly thereafter suffer a Gran Mal heart attack after eating some unspecified fried food.

War of 1812. Chris, Zev and Mjl play the Canadian French/Indian agaist Frank and I americans. This game looks like a dry euro but plays GREAT. We pulled off a hard fought win for the Americans.

That is about 1/2 of the photos that I took. Typically in the evenings  I would be a bit too buzzy to remember to take photos so many of them are in the mornings. Also I forgot ot take one with everyone wearing their F:ATtie shirt. Ah well.

More photos to come in Part Deux
