Welcome back to the bar! I know it’s Saturday. So sue me. It’s been a couple of weeks, but we got flooded last week so I couldn’t open the bar up at all. I saw you looking through the window wondering why the door… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – Lunch Time Games”

Dragonflight was my first convention ever, back in 2015 (I think). It’s held at the same hotel in Bellevue, Washington, as OrcaCon is held (though the hotel rooms are a lot more expensive, being in the Summer instead of January like OrcaCon).
