We should definitely spend more time talking about this stuff. Perhaps even is some kind of public forum.Dalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15047292606578771161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1590555352229046637.post-78118627162851276412012-01-24T13:28:32.549-08:002012-01-24T13:28:32.549-08:00I'm glad you mentioned our 1st edition D&D...I'm glad you mentioned our 1st edition D&D nights because those are, for me, very much about what this blog is about - getting back to enjoyment of some of those more "nerdly" pursuits that adult life leaves us little time for, but that bring us so much joy. I very much look forward to these nights, and not just for the chance to pull out my D&D books and rock the 20-sided die. They've filled a hole for me in providing an opportunity and reason to get together once a month with people who enjoy many of the same nerdly interests that I do, and whose company I enjoy, and to talk about movies and joke and interact, rather than just sitting in front of the TV (not that there's anything wrong with THAT). I have a blast every time we get together, and I think my love of these nights speaks to what is most important about nerdom to me: community - having some folks to talk to about all of my nerdly passions, retro 80s D&D included. They offset the Fridays that I spend by myself working through my own growing pile of unwatched DVDs (or with my wife, who invariably is paying very little attention to what I am watching, and therefore doesn't have many clever bon mots to offer), and give me someone to talk to about them after I've watched. I wouldn't trade those nights for the world, even if my character is usually unconscious within the first five minutes of any encounter!Kelly Stiforahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14255914501091704557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1590555352229046637.post-35263091057775751572012-01-20T22:17:13.578-08:002012-01-20T22:17:13.578-08:00Nothing wrong with Hot Fuzz my man.
