The President of the Nerds

Well, I can safely say I met the president of the nerds! On Tuesday I went to Golden Keep Games a local game shop and met two cool people. One was the clerk at the shop who was quite nice and helpful and the other was the president of a local non-profit called Nerd Louisville. The objective of this non-profit is to promote gaming. So it was a very nice experience. I was a little hesitant to make the trip there because it was about an hour long trip by bus and I thought the shop might be disappointing. But overall it was a great experience and I really got to talk to these two people for good long while because it was early afternoon on a weekday and we were the only ones in the shop. Mostly Nelson and Tom were trading stories but we also talked about Austin, Texas where Nelson has spent some time. I got to ask some questions. Unfortunately the Delta Green game I was interested in has been discontinued but I got introduced to the Nerd Louisville website through a card. They run an event called slur your roll which is a set of roleplaying sessions that take place on the second and fourth sundays of each month. They take place at a bar but hopefully there will be no problem with just ordering a coke. The price of a ticket is $8 which seems reasonable although it could add up if I decide I like playing there. So I signed up for a session playing the game Mothership on the 26th. Overall it was a big success in terms of getting connected with the community.
