I DID IT! Woo!! It was quite a rush to be able to play. I'm on a train back to Boston now, so I'll have time to write the trip report and let you guys in on as much as I can! Thanks for keeping in touch. IRC soon?
Congrats!!!!!!!! IRC would be awesome! Maybe next weekend or perhaps later this week, I'll let all of you decide on when. Perhaps we need to rekindle the #hubskidrinkclub? Even you non-drinkers can pour a cup of tea and pony up to the bar.
Fun learning from yesterday: You can make a ridiculous amount of thai iced tea for ridiculously cheap if you just make it yourself and it's ridiculously easy to make. Tea and sweet and condensed milk for a quick and easy treat. The substitution of generic grocer-brand chai for Ceylon tea did not diminish it in the slightest.
