I work that day as well. I don't work on Wednesdays or Thursdays, but I have Pathfinder Games at 6 on those days.
Ah dang, we’ll see if this becomes a regular thing and will hopefully see ya guys another time/
I hope it does become a regular thing! Would love to experience the growth of a community around this hobby!
me too yo/ - if you guys decide to pick a day to hangout at a spot to spin beys, please let us know/
I'd like to get something going on another day but until I can afford one of the TT stadiums, it probably won't be something I put together.
Are there any words out about Haven or Sage's Portal? Dragon Parlor was asking about group sizing, so i guesstimated about 10 people, and they said Mondays-Wednesday there's usually a table available, but Fridays and Saturdays 12-4 is free and on Sunday the hours of availablilty would be 5-9!

I haven't been down to Haven yet, our kids are out of school for an extended weekend, but I can get down there probably next week to talk to Bob.

Sunday evening would be great for us! I can do Fridays for an hour or two in the afternoon but I typically work at 2pm.

Come spin beys with us Saturday night at Sage’s Portal - we’ll be there at 6:00 PM with several others/

If the space feels right to play in, it may become a regular spot for casual play every-other-weekend. When Mayorstance and I spoke with Eric, he was receptive to the idea of allowing us to use his basement game-space for hosting events/

All other news about the boardgame cafe are posted above/

I’m glad to hear that Dragon Parlor sounds receptive/ - Mayorstance and I at least usually have Fridays free and might be able to come meet you and anyone else there that day/

If your event event falls within a day and time I am available, I at least will bring my stadiums/
If anyone has a good spot, with a for sure date thats open, i can post an offical event. Feel free to DM me.

Wednesdays 12-4 would be perfect for me at Dragon Parlor.
How was the meeting up at Sage's Portal?
Yooo DM me or post here if you’re bladin tonight! Usually i work saturdays but would not be opposed to calling off an odd saturday to blade with some bros!
Heya/ - It was very educational! We shared the space with a One-Piece TCG Tournament full of shop regulars so it was fuller than expected in the basement game-space. Only Mayorstance were able to make it from our group, but we met a couple of the other guys and a few stepped-away from the tournament long-enough to receive a brief explanation of how we like to play and let it rip a little/ - I think that a well-advertised, regular event could draw-in a decent bit of attention from among curious cafe-event regulars/ - The One-Piece TCG event wrapped-up around 7:30 and the space emptied quickly, so I think it's still reasonable to ask Eric the owner to let us use this space routinely for small casual bey-meets at 6:00 or 7:00 PM (Sage's Portal closes at 9:00 on Sat)

If the same number of regular players attend the OP-TCG Tournament Saturday nights, I don't know if it would be a good idea to use Sage's Portal that day for dedicated Tournaments/ (since it feels best to have 3-4 hours blocked-out to host a tournament) - I'll have to ask Eric and possibly some of the regulars what they think/

😂 Bone-Dawg, we're aiming for Saturday, the 8th of February at 6:00 PM for our next casual bey-meet, so wiggle-free from work if ya can/ - I'm hoping I can draw another player-in for that date too/

Please let us know if you guys pick a (likely Friday by the look of it) day for a casual bey-meet in one of the other shops you've scouted, i'm very interested in visiting more potential event venues and getting their vibe/

and- BIG ANNOUNCEMENT: I'm happy to introduce a discord server i've assembled to help us coordinate and chat a little easier beyond this thread -and welcome everyone to join and invite their friends!

A quick heads-up, I've outlined a list of rules and general good-behavior expectations for people to observe within the discord server and require new members to react to the "rules" mini-novel using the prompted "emoji" to gain access to the rest of the server's channels!

Hey hey, we did!/ - Sat the 8th will be the first "Underground Casual Bey-Meet" of March! ~ The starting time will be 6:00 PM unless Sage's Portal hosts a special event simultaneously. If that happens, it'll be pushed back to 7:00 PM so there will be less people sharing the same space as us - Sage's Portal hasn't filled-in that day in their online events calendar, so I can't say for sure, but if ya hop in the discord you can subscribe to the "event alerts" role to get notified in case the time does change shift~
Ey again~ wanted to let ya know that Sage's Portal *did* decide to slot what looks like a big, busy day for Saturday the 8th, so i'm pushing our Underground Bey-Meet time forward to 7:00PM now to give all of our play-groups a little buffer so we're staying friends and not becoming enemies! XD - Please feel free to bring friends, lovers, and relatives/
