Return to Nor'Easter... w/ new player in tow


 

Hey all!

Been a long while since I've seen any of you. I think the last Nor'easter I attended was in maybe 2017 or 2018 (when my oldest son was a year or two old). That son is now about to turn 9, and I have a second son who just turned 7.
?
I've used that time to mold my oldest son into a wargaming partner for life. And I think he's finally ready for a tourney, so I plan to make my return to the Nor'easter this weekend, with him in tow. I didn't get my act together early enough to pre-register or get a room, but barring any problems with the hotel or registering at the door, we plan to show up Saturday morning and spend the rest of the weekend there with him.
?
I won't be able to compete in the tourney, and will definitely spend a bunch of time playing ASL with my son, but would also love to find a game or two with some old friends who aren't in the running for the trophy and will be forgiving of my blunders after so many years without having my nose buried in the ASLRB.?

Hi Whit. Congratulations on the burgeoning family :-). Registering at the door is no problem. The hotel room could be problematic, as the hotel is renovating and that caused the hotel drop dead date to be firm.?

I would strongly recommend giving them a call. You won't be able to get the block rate, but hopefully something acceptable.

Let me know how that goes please.?
Thanks,
Carl?

Hi Whit, is Joe Leoce coming as well?

I will be there for the Saturday daytime round, if I have no other matchup, or they don't need me for the tourney, I would love to play you and/or your son, I should be there at 9AM or just after, I'm riding with Steve Johns that day.

Nice to hear from you and Thanks for all the work you have done with Joe Leoce in the past, you guys are great, Vic.

Hi Mike, my bad, was thinking of 'Nick' Richardson, not 'Whit' Richardson in my answer below but sure glad to see Joe will be making it, what a great guy, the man with the magic Dioramas, Vic.

Het Whit,

Looking forward to seeing you again. You can be forgiven for your absence by dragging some new blood into the fold.

Thx,
Charlie?

Sorry to miss you, Michael. It definitely won't be Theo's last ASL tourney. He's already trying to talk me into taking him to Albany.?

See both of you at a future event, would love to play you and your son sometime, Vic.
