Asia Game Zone - GameCon 1.5

Normally our weekends are meant for the body to slow down, relax and take it easy. Last week our weekend was spent rather busily so much so that it didn't seem like a weekend to us. This Sat *may* be another busy day, as we'd unwisely hastily opened our mouths and volunteered to help out the boardgamers at the Asia Game Zone in KLCC.

Anyways, no backing out now. While the AGZ is actually suppose to be a PC Gamers event, Eurogames Evangelist macedwin managed to get space to set up booths for boardgame demos. It's going to be GameCon 1.5, as it's not big enough to be GameCon 2 (GameCon 1 was...eh, sometime 2005 near the year end, at MidValley).

So there'll be, as far as we recall, a Settlers of Catan and Carcassonne tournament qualifiers plus Blokus and Memoir 44 nationals as well. Other open demos for play are Marvel Heroes, the World Of Warcraft Board Game and Card Game & Iliad for moderate games and Villa Paletti and Hamster Rolle for the lighter party games.

Checking our schedule we're volunteering for Saturday afternoon shift, which means from 4pm - 8/9pm, which isn't too bad as we get to sleep in first. However, it seems that our name is now 'aychee'. Gah, wonder if the exhibitor tag has names on. Hopefully not, or else if anyone needs us all they have to do is sneeze. It's aycee, no capitalization, no 'h'!

We're still considering our transport situation - parking somewhere around KLCC not only involves a hefty sum in terms of parking, but it's so tempting to actually end up hovering towards Sultan Ismail or nearby for some liquid (hem) after hours. Damn it, why must we feel the thirst? Plus being at KLCC during the sale period? Not safe. Sooooo not safe on our poor wallet. Already eyeing some Zara linens, hopefully they've something in our size.
