It has been 5 long months since the Satchel has come to my place, but less than a week after my birthday I plan to host the next installment of the MSGN. If all goes according to plan I’ll have my kitchen back in proper working order by then too.
I know it is over a month away, but the way the weekends are filling up for everyone I figured that a lot of notice was a good thing.
Details here, discussion below.
We’ll miss the Barrys, Taylors and Al-Awahs, but will do our best to live up to the mighty Canmore Edition 
First, a kudos to an entrepreneur. A friend of a friend has decided to go into business for herself creating and selling handmade nursing necklaces and I have to say that if she keeps at it with the passion that she has shown so far, she can’t fail! It was a lot of fun to build her website. She has put a lot of work into this venture: FeedBeads – Funky Beads for Funky Babies.
Vacation is Gone. Capital G. Like Hugo until his next birthday except that I don’t live in a wine cellar.
It was awesome. Great company. Good weather. Fun games. And now we have good friends coming to visit us! And we can’t wait!
This is what the end of vaction looked like:
I have to say that this last Magic Satchel Games Night might just be the new standard to which all future events are compared. Dave & Jen, you guys rock! Perfect location, great snacks, lots of tables & chairs, and a great group of gamers made it a night to remember. I’m rather intimidated to hold the next one – maybe I’ll defer to Alan for August 
Again, thanks for having us, for giving us places to sleep and a great breakfast, and for digging my phone out of the couch the next day. Hope you have a safe drive back today!

“Yoshirolla peered around the corner cautiously, afraid of only one thing: that he would recognize all the games on the shelf. He didn’t need to see one more ‘Thomas the Tank Engine’ plinko game, another ‘Farmyard Spin the Bottle’, or that latest disappointment ‘Ticket to Ride’. Why hadn’t he just be able to pull a few more shiny rainbow locomotives? Two or three more of those engines and he might have been able to snatch that victory away from his competitors.”
Read the ever-expanding award-winning story!
That is all.
Well, we have found some lovely folks out here in the Okanagan to play games with. Last night we told them all about the Magic Satchel games nights that take place in Calgary and they were pretty eager to get one started here in Kelowna.
And the crazy games people own these days! Whether it is a game like Survive! from their childhood or the railway-building stategy game Ticket to Ride, people sure bring out some crazy games when they know you are open-minded! Thanks Jay & Amy, it was fun!
So there may soon be a Kelowna chapter of the Magic Satchel Games Night! We probably won’t call it “Yoshirolla’s Magic Satchel” because Condoleezza would undoubtedly give us the smack-down for disrespecting her satchel.
Hopefully we can take a road trip up to Vernon soon to check out the big toy/games store there. But Canada Day may involve some Vancouver nonsense. I hope My Jedi Friend is prepared.
Soon, a dance.
Because ScottB wants to keep his post count at two for all eternity, I am posting to tell people to go to the news and events page to see the details about the latest edition of the Magic Satchel games night.
discussion can go on here.
Anyone up for a little more email Survive? It sure was fun!
Though, we may have to buy Al a bottle of Appleton’s to convince him that he wants to do all that work again!
