Wish I was in Boston to meet all of you. Instead I am stuck in Saskatchewan where the temperature was below 0 F this morning not including the wind chill with a strong wind from the northwest. Have fun!

I hear if you move a glass of beer back and forth in front of silvam it changes the angle of his view.

Aw man, I am busy all weekend, but a Bostonian hangout would be fun some time

Just got back from the meetup. It was a knowledgeable crowd of baseball fans, apart from the common interest in OOTP Good times.

A very handsome bunch.

silvam14 · 04-06-2018, 11:36 PM

I’m still here. Good times

I missed it. Had little interest in going into Boston in this weather.

You must be from Boston. The weather wasn’t that bad.

I have to say that the meetup exceeded my expectations. It was such a thrill to meet likeminded baseball fans and discuss the greatness of this game.

It was also great to meet members of the OOTP team Rich, TJ, and Kris. They were welcoming and fun to talk to.

They had a demo of the game playing on one of the TVs the whole night and one of the coolest things was right at the end of he night, a bartender came up to Rich and told him how much he loved the game. Very cool. I hope to attend more of these things in the future. It was so much fun to meet other players of this great game.

i met some online people once... it was cool seeing a large group of people that probably would never meet together under any other circumstances.. maybe a few cliques, but not all.

we timed it with a vacation some brits were taking... even had an international flare to it. the guys in the military even had some days off to attend -- not sure on those rules if they can pick them out or it was just a coincidence with timing.. between iraq wars, but ... still even in peacetime i'd assume it's regimented a bit as far as when they get time off.. not 100% their choice obviously?

the under 21 crowd couldn't get into the bar, so they were excluded
