Hamilton's Nerd Strip

We got a new stove today. [livejournal.com profile] velvetpage made upsidedown pineapple cake, and it was verrrrrry yummy.

Stopped by Bayshore Hobbies this afternoon, and ran into [livejournal.com profile] doc_mystery, who pointed me to the new branch of Conspiracy Comics that's opened just a block away. With Bayshore, 1-Up Games, the novelty candy place, Westdale Bookworm, and Conspiracy all in the same single block stretch, Hamilton seems to be developing a sort "nerd hole" or "geek ghetto." I, for one, am thrilled. I picked up Changing Breeds for World of Darkness, as prep for an upcoming game.

[livejournal.com profile] shadow_maze, [livejournal.com profile] mrs_dm, [livejournal.com profile] doc_mystery and their kids later came over for Chinese food and a round of Axis and Allies, the first time I've played that board game since about 1998. Indeed, it had a flyer for the 1998 Bayshore Hobbies game sale inside the box, along with pages of handwritten story notes from [livejournal.com profile] iamradar! I was the Allies, and by the end of Turn 2, I pretty much had the Axis powers (as played by [livejournal.com profile] doc_mystery and [livejournal.com profile] shadow_maze) on the ropes.

Bed now, but first! a quiz!

I like "Geek Ghetto"

I will have to take an afternoon stroll to frequent these places at least once.

...a week.
