Well, alas, never did hook up with anyone else for the event, but Margie and I had fun on Saturday evening and Sunday afternoon/evening plowing our Mastermind duo, Gifted Kid and Special Educator, from 23 to most of the way through 27. Which netted Gifted Kid both an additional Protector Bot (dubbed Dr McCoy to go with the extant Dr Franklin) and the (woo-hoo) Assault Bot (dubbed Ah-nold) (for the record, the Battle Bots are dubbed Huey, Dewey, and Louie — after, of course, the drones in Silent Running — Gifted Kid is, if nothing else, a geek).
Only died once during the weekend (and debt went away pretty quickly).
Did briefly exchange tells with Ktbuffy, but between a final bank-robbery-a-palooza and a very yummy steak dinner with Margie, never did get with her.
