Martin you are always welcome at Casa Badmike any time of year. Believe me when I tell you it would take approximately one hour to get King, Aneoth, JohnGaunt, SWhisp and anyone else in the area ready to roll....just the promise of beer and food would bring them out of their hidey holes like cockroaches in a tenement.

Really?  DFW Airport isnt easy to navigate....I'll give you that.  But I have had worse experiences.  Orlando, Los Angeles, Boston....just to name a few.


Oh, I've had some bad experiences, too, namely Salt Lake City, Washington DC, LAX, and some others, as well. I just think the layout of DFW is so bassackwards, or, maybe its just the way the airlines have the tendency to make you land at one gate with a connecting flight at the complete opposite side, with 10 minutes to get there... maybe that's it. The people were typically nice, though, unlike those places I mentioned previously, where they have corncob suppositories.

Anyway, hope y'all have a grand old time. Save me some Hee Hawing jowels! ;)


Those who can, don't. Those who should not, do.

My wife and I have a house that is far too big for two people (four bedrooms) so you guys would be welcome here.  Unfortunately we have Bacon Cheesburgers for breakfast, Tex Mex for lunch, and cajun shrimp and rice for dinner every night here at the Casa.  That's when we aren't eating Pizza.  We could try to fit in a vegetable for you guys.

Or you could stay with Kingofpain and hit his liquor cabinet instead.  And fight with his four cats for scraps of food  8O

Hell if you guys came into town I bet we could get Grodog to drive down from Kansas and maybe a few nearby Acaeum members to take the trip to Big D. We could have our own mini-Con...with Al running Tegel Manor as the main event  :wink:

well funds permitting, i should definately be able to do this. if i come over, i will most certainly have something planned and good to go, so we could get a small group together, get some beers n stuff and have a proper game of D&D again....though i dont think it will be Tegel Manor...i think i can find something equally cool in the vaults that would serve up a great game either way :)

come the turn of the year, i will start thinking about this and see how things pan out.

Glad to see a few peeps is comin

Pretty sure no one would want to eat what we feed out cats....and we rarely feed them anything we eat.  If we did that they would be as fat as pigs.  :wink:

As for Al or anyone else needing a place to stay....no problem.  We have a spare bedroom that is just down the hall from my office/gameroom/library/sanctum.  If you cant sleep, there is always something interesting to read.  And I will be more than happy to smoke up some real Texas brisket.  If you think biscuits and gravy is good, you havent lived until you have eaten beef slow smoked for ten hours.

If you're going to make brisket, the visitors can stay at my house, I'll come and sleep in the extra bedroom. I'll use your Chainmail as a pillow, I've heard they are extra cushiony and soft..... :twisted:

I seldom drink beer, though on occasion I have done so.
I can eat gobs of food however.
I wont drink beer/margaritas that day since I will be driving and besides, I MIGHT have a grandchild or three with me. (They live down the road in Duncanville).

For them, myself, and anyone else that wants, I will bring along a couple of cases of cokes.
A couple of bags of chips too, along with some.....  :twisted: .... mild dipping sauce...........  :twisted:

I know the first post stated 800-1600, but......What time is appropriate?


Let's see, I got up Tue morning at 0430, worked all day, played computer games all night (no sleep). Worked all day Wed, went to bed at 0330 Thur morning, got up at 0700 today, will be up until about 0100 tonight, backup at 0500 tomorrow, have friends over at 1800 Fri night to play BattleLore until about midnight, then a 1-2 hour game with a friend staying over, so to bed at 0200 Sat morning, then up again around 0600...

so 0800 is very appropriate for me.

I plan to have the first food off the grill by 0900, so don't eat breakfast before you come

We gotta get some more people down here next year when we do this again.  Just got home a bit ago and we had a really fun time.  Good food, good beer, and yakking it up with a bunch of fun people never hurts either.  Thanks again Doug!  :D

Below are some of the pictures taken during the Acaeum Bar B Que.



Left sitting (The one in the chair) is  John (kingofpain) and on the right is a guest of Doug's (Rodney? IIRC)
Nice guy, but not a member of the Acaeum and not a RPG collector (I dont think).

Doug our host for the Bar B Que:
He makes AWESOME margarita's............

Foot massage: No Charge

Mike (Badmike) on the left and myself (Aneoth) on the right.
I was the only one there silly enough to NOT wear shorts instead of jeans.  :roll:
