\nand props to Jane-who-does-not-play and her assembled team of minions.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

If you are not on Facebook and somehow read this blog and would like your name passed to Jane, please let me know “somehow”.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

UPDATE:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

I am planning to attend and made sure to extend the invitation to my the rest of my household. \u00a0So if you’re in the situation of inviting a significant other who barely understands why you stare at text for hours on end and call it fun to a BBQ for said text game, you should be familiar with the “are you out of your mind” look.<\/p>\n

Jane’s invitation for people to feel free to cosplay had her eyebrows up and asking “Uhm, they don’t expect everyone to dress up do they?”. \u00a0You know what, given the general level of geek out there perpetuated by\u00a0Big Bang Theory<\/em> and various\u00a0ComicCon<\/em>s, I’m going to give her that one. \u00a0The answer is “no, of course not”. \u00a0At least for me it is \ud83d\ude42 \u00a0Over the years I have observed a wide variety of costumes but for the most part, I think the accepted uniform is “wear whatever you are going to be comfortable in” \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

So if your guest is thinking that they will be the only one there who doesn’t get it and doesn’t know what it’s about, fear not! \u00a0Along with Jane-who-does-not-play there will be one other and my mini-me in attendance looking to make fun of … well me anyway.<\/p>\n

… and just so you know why I don’t even attempt to cosplay … from Hallowe’en many, many moons ago.<\/p>\n
