Buh-Buh-Boston?

Whenever I come back from a vacation, I wish my life were a vacation all the time. (Yeah, I know I don't have room to complain because, let's face it, my life is pretty good. But still, doesn't everyone wish it could be better? Yes, I know everyone wishes my life would be better. Don't you just love all these rhetorical questions I ask?)

So last weekend I flew out to Boston to visit my bro and his wife, SW and MY. My sister JW and my cousin and his wife DW and SW met us there, too. This was the first reunion of the "Bang! Dodge City" club. If you don't know what that is, you should find out. (Yes, I know the original Bang! club was in San Jose with EH, DO and VO, but this is the first time with the _expansion_. Just thought I'd clarify.)

I arrived Friday, and spent most of the day chatting with MY and studying for my LSATs. Since it was raining, everyone's flight got delayed and we picked up JW, DW, and SW at night. We wasted no time and played Bang! as soon as everyone got home.

On Saturday it was raining all day. But that didn't stop us from walking around Boston. We got some Dim Sum in China Town, then went to Quincy Market. Afterwards, we walked to Paul Revere's house. Then we went home, steamed some lobster and feasted. Then we played some more Bang!

Sunday, we woke up and went to CBCGB, then went to lunch at Chili's with SW's friends. After lunch, we went home and decided to go walk around Copley Square and Newbury street. Then we rushed home to buy dinner and squeeze in one last game of Bang! before DW and SW left that night. You know how great it is when we decide we don't have enough time and must play WHILE we're eating.

Monday was my LSATs which is the longest test I've ever taken. Depending on my score, I may or may not elaborate further. We'll see in July. Afterwards, we went to go watch Cars. And then I flew home.

Pictures are now up.

Why haven't I been introduced to this Bang! game? And I guess the silence since my invite means that nobody wants to come hang in NM, right?

You went and saw Cars without me?! That's so wrong.

Aqua,

Good job on spreading Bang! to the east coast cousins. After teaching the Liu and Chien cousins this past weekend, I think we're all geared up to have a Bang! tournament at the next reunion. ;)
