Prerelease shenanigans

The Eventide prerelease has come and gone. I did better at this one than I have in any other prerelease. 4-0 in my flight, 2-1 in two headed giant. Maybe it's due to the fact my partner ditched me for a girl he's not even dating anymore.

Anyhoo. The event was fun, but the location was weird. Instead of it's usual location, this prerelease was held downtown. That normally would be a good thing except there was nothing to eat nearby. The staff was also unusually small. A few of our usual judges were no where to be found. And all in all the atmosphere seemed charged from the players, but somber from the staff.

Personally, I'm grateful for this being the last Magic prerelease I'll have to travel great distances to attend. Hopefully the fun and excitement will transfer to the local locations. As usual, when you are ready to buy or sell cards from this new set, www.CCGUnderground.com is your place!

Oh yeah, nearly forgot. I knew it was time to call it a day when I saw a judge at the head table picking his nose up to the knuckle. I mean, he was really digging up there. When the booger didn't come out, he licked his fingers for lubrication and went deeper. I really wished I didn't see that. But since I did, I'm wishing I took a picture to share with you :)
