Saturday – 11 Oct 2008
Last night’s Clitorati was good and we had a rather decent turnout. Rachel fit in nicely with the usual suspects, also.

This morning, SaraRules, Rachel and I went to the Downtown Farmers’ Market.

It. Was. Cold.

We were (and for the most part, still are) on the leading edge of a stormfront. There is talk of snow, anywhere from ½” to 6″, depending on the path the storm takes. Yay.

After the market, we headed back to my place for a bit. SaraRules and Rachel went shopping, I had a ‘Clix tournament. I said my goodbyes to Rachel before they headed to the mall. I had considered what team I wanted to use last night, so all I had to do this morning was make sure that the correct figures were in my case this morning. I went with the theme of “Spies ‘R’ Us,” which included:

I went 2-1 for the day, which was a nice turnaround from last week’s 1-2. My first game was against a kid named Kasey. Literally, a kid – he couldn’t have been more than 12. He was the nephew of Duane, one of the semi-regular tourney contestants. He fielded:

I had planned on taking out Spider-Girl first… until Mr. Banner decided to close ranks. For some reason, taking him out became “Priority: One.” Go figure. After taking him down, it was Ms. Parker’s turn. And finally, Iron Man was sent to the scrap yard. To his credit, he was able to take down my somewhat early in the game. I don’t know what Duane’s been teaching him as far as playing HeroClix goes, but whatever it is, Kasey has been paying attention – with a little more strategy in his gameplay, he will be/become a formidable player.

Next, I fought Duane. I don’t remember who he fielded other than Spider-Girl and a Moloid. And I only remember those because they were the pieces that I KOed. I won that match on points.

Next up: Jerry. His team was a bit eclectic:

We danced around the map for a bit before the real engagements began. And then, we kept having issues getting the dice rolls we needed. Finally, Jerry started hitting his target numbers. And one-by-one, my team fell by the wayside, until there were none standing. Jerry went 3-0 for the day.

I headed home to meet SaraRules and we went to a quilt show in Holladay. There were a few interesting quilts, but on the whole, I didn’t see much that interested me. We did, however, run into Beth and Jer and their mothers.

And later this evening: Canadian Thanksgiving at Marilyn and Dean’s.

Namaste.
