Went 1-2 drop in the Aria event!

Gonna scarf down a salad (eat your veggies, y’all) and maaaaaybe see if there are some good crane game goodies at Round1? Bad idea? Maybe?

Today was a hoot. #FABTCG is the best!

Food pic dump!

I asked for a bacon egg and cheese on a roll, was delighted that it came on a cheesesteak roll and was only $6. The banter with the food cart guy about charging me $1k next time was priceless. Philly is pretty cool!

Today was a whirlwind of adventure! It was so cool meeting/re-meeting everyone and be reminded of how stellar the #FABTCG community is.

Went 2-2 in LL, I’m glad to try the format by just swapping a few Marlynn cards out, but GOSH some of those games feel like real dice rolls.

For various reasons I woke up late, couldn’t eat breakfast or lunch, and ended up not physically moving at all for my 5hr train ride…

…luckily, there is EXACTLY what I need to fuel back up nearby (2 meals in one)!

I think Kyuramen will be a popular destination for #FABPhilly particularly for meeee

BREAKING: Starbucks workers have launched a massive, nationwide strike.

Baristas in 40 cities have walked off the job on the busiest day of Starbucks' year.

Upwards of 12,000 @sbworkersunited.org members could ultimately go on strike as the union escalates.

I proooobably should’ve looked sooner but apparently if you take Amtrak into Philly, you can use the same QR code Amtrak ticket to hitch a free ride over to the station outside the Convention Center! Hot damn!

I kind of wish I took more time off and went to Philly early to explore and play in armories 😭

I thought I had tomorrow off for Veteran’s Day, but turns out I don’t 😭

A coworker put on a calendar invite: “Veteran’s Day Off” because they were taking the day off, not because we all had it off 😩

Hearing that Marlynn is a functional LL deck, I think my Worlds packing list is now:

-Marlynn CC
-A stack of cards to convert Marlynn to LL
-1 or 2 SAGE decks (Azalea and ???)

Am I missing anything? I don’t think I’ll bother with Commoner?

They’re probably asleep for the next 8 hours, but make sure you give some love to @fleshandbad.bsky.social for nearly doubling their goal for New Avenues for Youth, a charity aiding un-housed youths in their area.

The link is still open to donate, if you missed the stream!

Look what came in the mail while I was out Pro Questing!

I wanted at least one “new” thing to hand out at Worlds this year so I rush ordered these Pleiades stickers and am so happy with how they came out.

Come sign my FAB yearbook and get a free sticker! I’m excited to meet and re-meet y’all!

Finally able to process my whirlwind #fabtcg Proquest day 😵‍💫

TLDR: I’m so happy I went! Ended up 1-3 drop on Marlynn but had a blast doing so. I played my best, learned more about my deck, and mingled with the fantastic community.

Everyone should play TCGs! Everyone should try FAB!
