I decided to go out to game night at The Yak Bar.  Card games and other similar fun activities were conducted.  I showed up late, hence missed some drawing based deal that people were humoring upon.  Anyways, I met with Chris and Ben, both from the Cafe Games meetup, in a prior post.  Ben is a freakin' amazing card-smith, master of prestidigitation (slight-of-hand).  He has now inspired me to get back into card-trickery.  This kid, relatively young, was incredible, he had the talk, and the card skills, one word... "slick."  
I led half of the group in a game of Mao.  I first learned of this game via observation at Shmoocon a few years in a row.  I never knew what the people were playing, but Mouse would lead up this seemingly fun/insane card game.  I actually figured out what game was being played after investigating her website.  We had a blast playing it tonight, and I would like to see such fun continue.
After that, we all played a variation of Asshole/Bullshit card game.  Lots of fun.  I enjoy stuff like this because such events are social in nature.
