For the last several years, following a full day of WordCamping — socializing, networking, learning new things and meeting new people — we’ve typically held a small afterparty at The Green Pig pub down the street from the City-County Building, our old home. This has suited us fine, usually it’s just a casual group that hangs out and oftentimes we’ve had our own space within the venue. And part of moving to The Green Pig had to do with our venue for the WordCamp — we had to be out of the building by 6pm.<\/p>\n
This year, we’re doing something different.<\/p>\n
We know that not everyone wants to hang out at a noisy bar and we’re well aware that some of you might not even be able to get\u00a0into<\/em> the bar in the first place. Our new home at Church & State<\/a> has told us that they are happy to have us just stick around at the space and have the afterparty there, so that got us thinking.<\/p>\n Inspired by our friends at LoopConf<\/a>, we reached out to Oasis Games<\/a> to see if they would be interested coming to the afterparty to demo some games. I’ll be honest, I’m a major tabletop gaming geek. And Oasis is where I go when I want to buy or sell Magic: the Gathering cards. But more than just collectable card games, Oasis has loads of other games in the store, too, and they’ll often break them open to play them at the store. Our family loves playing Dominion, and every time we go into Oasis, it’s all we can do to not buy up all the Dominion expansions. So, I’m pretty excited, personally, that they agreed to come out.<\/p>\n Oasis will be bringing some games for folks to play and what’s better than hanging out with some new (or old) friends and playing board games? Nothing, that’s what. MOJO Marketplace<\/a> will be supplying food and drink for anyone who chooses to stick around for the afterparty. Make sure you stick around for the afterparty this year, it’s going to be a ton of fun and we can’t wait to see you there!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" For the last several years, following a full day of WordCamping — socializing, networking, learning new things and meeting new people — we’ve typically held a small afterparty at The Green Pig pub down the street from the City-County Building, our old home.
