Hm, Discovered the DC Game Night lj community (also Chez_turtle) . Possibly a go for Sunday side of our walkabout weekend? (since we have Monday off.) - Then again, there's always TCEP14. There's a schedule online now, too. I suspect that I'd prefer the informal local game night to a con, but who knows? I figure that I'd prefer a more casual setting with an informal group.

Anyone that developed vegan Cupcakes of Catan is ok in my book.

Of course, there's the Rennfest, too.

Good grief! So many possibilities.

Maybe I'll work a bit on Guitar / Uke skills while BHK is off with TM whenever they decide to head out. I guess that there's a tentative thought about them going to Delaware. What's to do in Delaware?

Editing the icehousegames.org wiki and the lab rabbit wiki has introduced me to an interesting assortment of people... some seem very laid back, others aggressive to the point of being interpreted as hostile. There are some impatient and controlling types in every bunch... sometimes that's what it takes to get things done, I suppose. Not my style, but I can see where it would be a winning tactic on a wiki. Both are pretty solid resources.

(I've even gone so far as to create a lj-feed of recent changes on the rabbit site so that I can track it on my lj, rather than having to log in and sniff around somewhere else. I've just now done the same to the icehousegames wiki too)

Cupcakes of Catan

[rhyyss.livejournal.com]

Wonderful! My family enters every year the local portion of the international edible book festival. It's a grand tradition - five years now. The last couple of years things have trended toward puns about books made with food, and not actually edible books, which has a few of the purists, such as myself, a bit annoyed.

I thought the cupcakes entry was much better than the official winner, which appeared to be nothing more than a fancy cake with a Catan logo... snooze.

Re: Cupcakes of Catan

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

Neat! what sort of entries did your team do?

Re: Cupcakes of Catan

[blackhellkat.livejournal.com]

Yeha I thought the fancy cake winner kinda paled next to the PLAYABLE cupcakes too!

We have tried different approaches, from the simple (tortilla pages, writing with food coloring, red lace binding) to the more elaborate (cabbage leaf pages, beet threads embroidery for the writing and corn silk binding). But we have always tried to make it an actual book of some sort. One very popular and fun entry was a cookie based participartory activity - we had four trays of thin rectangular pre-written sugar cookies: Setting, Protagonist, Conflict and Resolution. You could chose one cookie from each tray, and mount them on a larger cookie backing with frosting. Everybody walked away with a custom one sentence story they could eat.

Oh, I like that! Literature and food... two things that rank highly with me! :D
