FRIDAY NIGHTS UNPLUGED!

We'll be sitting out for a while

Hi everyone, I wanted to let you all know that Justin and I will not be able to coordinate or attend FNU in the San Jose area for a while. We are, of course, open to hanging out in the Santa Cruz area with anyone who would be willing to treck over to our side of the hill… But the tires on our car are not currently safe for driving over the hill, so we are out until we’re able to replace them. :( See y’all as soon as we can! Lydia

FNU update for 1/23/09

Hey y’all! FNU will, again, be hosted at Gina/Dana/Andy’s house (814 Maryanne Dr., Apt 6, Santa Clara). Unlike last week, I will actually be there tomorrow night, so, see y’all there!! Lyds

FNU update for 1/16/09

Hi everybody! FNU this week will be hosted at a different location this week… *GASP*!!  Since Justin and I no longer live in the bay area, we will be meeting at Gina/Dana/Andrea’s house instead.  Their address is: 814 Maryann Dr. #6, Santa Clara, CA. As always, rides can be arranged for anyone who needs one - Just ask anyone on this list who’s planning to be there! :-) As for what’s on the gamebook…  I dunno, since I’m not really planning it this week! :-p  Please direct questions or suggestions at Gina. See y’all there! Lydia

So...

Apparently, we’d all rather jump in hot lava than go to church…

No game night tonight

Hi all, Game night is being cancelled again this week. Justin got strep throat and is still feeling run down. Game night is still on for next week, though, so we’ll see you then! Lydia

No game night tonight

And an advance warning

****We will NOT be hosting FNU on October 10th**** (It’s our wedding anniversary, so we’re gonna go do something to celebrate)

Looking ahead

There have not yet been any requests for this week, so the floor is open! Any and all suggestions and requests are welcome!

Recap for 9/26/08

We had a *big* turnout last week! In addition to our “old stand-bys” of Justin, Lydia, T, Sal, Gina, Andrea and Dana, we were joined by Ben and Erica (Lydia’s brother and sister-in-law), occasional FNU-er Fred and new-comers Carmen, Diona and Paul.! Lydia hosted veg-out time on the couch for those who just wanted to hang out, and those who wanted to join in the games started with a couple warm-up rounds of Jenga, then progressed to Guillotine (aka: Kill the Frenchies!). Next they decided to kill harmless bunnies in Killer Bunnies, and finally rounded out the night with a new game brought by Fred called Mwahahaha.. Those of us who didn’t join in the game hung out on the couch and broke the first rule of FNU (UN-plug) and watched Fight Club.

FYI, FNU is still open, no request have been put in yet.

Last weeks game was Ticket to ride with Big T, Carmen and my self as well as Dana (Dana is known for joining us Friday nights but never formally gaming) as well as my lovely wife Lydia. The night ended with Dana smoking everyone on the board and me getting my @$$ handed to me at every turn. What fun!

Just a Quick follo wup on last weeks game; We had a new member join us, Hi Carmen! Carmen is a co-worker of ours and finnaly gave in a joined us for game night and was great company to have. Carmen is a wine snobb (and i mean that in the best way possable) and brough some awsome pasta for us.

The time has come; we are gearing up to start actively promoting Friday Nights Unplugged and start drawing more people into it. For those of you that don’t already know; FNU is a weekly excuse for people to unplug from the computer and TV and get together in RL for unpowered fun including anything from card and board games to nights out at the bowling alley and miniature golf.

In a effort to draw more fellow gamers in we have begun adding FNU to many different social networks including:
Facebook, MySpace, Friendfeed, Bebo, Hi5, Friendster, and Yahoo 360.
As well as on many new Blog and micro blog sits including:
Pluk, Pownce, Tumblr, Identi.ca, Bright Kite, Blogger, Live journal, and Word press

Any and all are welcome to join us for a night of gaming mayhem so feel free to visit out man site at www.fnu.tumblr.com
