Title: An intro! From SoCal!
Post by: ftl on April 22, 2012, 05:15:51 pm

Sure, I might as well introduce myself! I'm not anyone famous or anything, though. Oh well.

I'm a bioengineering grad student at UCLA, I spend most weekends down in San Diego with my girlfriend though. Got introduced to Dominion and got hooked soon after I found the blog.  I don't actually play on isotropic much - I tend to play a bunch for a few weeks and then not go back on iso for a few months - but my girlfriend and I typically play 2-4 games of Dominion each weekend. We run games days on occasion, I have a small collection of other euro and non-euro games. Dominion is awesome and so is this site :)

Isn't olneyce a grad student in SoCal too?  Though IIRC he's at UC Santa Cruz and not UCLA.

California is too big :( Santa Cruz is pretty far north from me.

Santa Cruz is Norcal (I'm 75 minutes away and in a SF suburb)

Gah! I now and forever proclaim you to be my archrival!

I'm a graduate of USC, live in San Diego, and spend my weekends up in Los Angeles.

(USC and UCLA are rivals for those not in the know)

I love these small world moments! Ftl, Axxle, you guys pass me on the way to and from Los Angeles and San Diego. I live in Laguna Hills.

Nice! Yep, I pass by Laguna hills. Usually sometime around 10pm on Fridays and Sundays.

Maybe one of these days there'll be some con or something to meet up at and we'll end up in the same city and play some Dominion.

I'll be at San Diego Comic-Con if any of you all were able to scrounge up tickets.

Yeah, I thought about that... don't have tickets, though.

The drive that weekend is going to suck. When is it, anyway?
