My Brain Hurts Part 1

This weekend, I attend a board game convention that had absolutely nothing to do with ECCC (that's Emerald City Comic Con, the 'other' convention for nerds happening this weekend).  Named "IndyCon," it is a small, very simple convention focused on one thing: playing board games.  And lots of them.

Small enough to allow a bit of trust, the convention consists of a large room in a hotel with shelves of games brought by the organizers and attendees.  Any attendee can freely choose any board game on the shelf and start playing. That's all.  No vendors with flashy booths trying to sell you anything.  Just gamers, games, and gamers.
