GB Get-Together @ Black Rock
In last week's games thread in Fuel, someone suggested we have a games night. We loved the idea, so for August's Get-Together (yes, we know it's actually in September) we're heading to Black Rock, 3614 N. Damen, with a stack of our favorite games. Expect to find us in the back room, battling over such favorites as Scrabble, Trivial Pursuit and Boggle. Join us, won't you? 9pm till around midnight.
