Friday after the final Drunen logged in and suggested we go see Matrix 2; first time I've actually gotten to see him in person for, uh, 2 years I'd guess. The trials of being an overworked programmer as well as a father of 2.
Matrix 2 was ok, I guess. I could've done without the first half of the movie or so; it could've been compressed into about 10 minutes to give us the relevant plot details. The other half of the movie was pretty ok, and the plot twists explaining the whole world-view was interesting enough to make me want to see the 3rd just to see where it all goes.
Then we grabbed![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
esmerel and went to Siciliano for dinner, which was not quite the right choice to make since Drunen had just told me he was diagnosed with type II diabetes last year, but I didn't think hard enough about it when I chose the restaurant. Next time I will choose something more diabetes friendly.
The weekend was KublaCon, and dear god did I play some Shadowfist. I think I got to play every 'fist deck I cared to. I think I also lost one of my better decks. I'll have to see if anyone happened to grab it.
I ended up running 3 tournaments instead of 2--Zev was something of a flake and had sort of assumed that the Final Brawl would attend to itself. I ended up volunteering to run it because I knew what to do, no one else who was there really did, and it was better than just letting the event not happen. I'm not exactly happy about that, but I'll make Zev make it up to me. Somehow. Not sure how yet.
I also lost a lot, though I got a little better as time went on; my decks aren't competitive enough for that environment, and I think prior to the next con I go to, I should set aside 3-4 decks I want to keep, and completely trash the rest, because having so many decks has exhausted my supply of sites I might particularly want in other decks.
I did have a good time, though. Even if I ended up not getting to play in the last event. I could've played and judged, but by then I was honestly too tired to do both.
