Dragonflight

For something like 17 years, Dragonflight has been held annually at Seattle University. This year they moved it to Bellevue. It meant it was much easier for me to stay overnight at home--and that we had air-conditioning!--but also less space. Parking was a bitch because we were only a few blocks from the Meyenbauer and the Penny Arcade event (PAX). There was some crossover attendance, but mostly only in the form of flakey teens bailing out of games halfway through to see the latest Red v Blue or for a Halo tournament.

For myself it was a weekend full of pen & paper gaming with friends. I first came to Dragonflight in 2001, about two weeks after moving to Seattle. Karen introduced me around, so this event reminds me about her and her untimely passing but without being at SU it wasn't all that intense. In any case, it's a reminder that I've been here 4 years...
