Best Of

Well this year it was @mertesn and @cola first by a long shot. Nick was waiting on the porch when I got back from the airport with cola on Sunday morning. With no one else expected til Tuesday, it's been 48 hours of Detroit food and Pack Clash / Sealed Deck Magic.

Highlights from the pre-show:

• A last minute forced luggage rearranging resulted in five beer casualties in cola's luggage. No matter, since the other FIFTY beers from Hawaii made it.
• It's been mid-90s the entire time so far. We're desperately waiting in a puddle of our own sweat for the temperature to plummet (which it's doing right this minute) where it will then stay in the 70s for the remainder of the week.
• A brownout fried something in our networking stack (of course it would the week of Expo) so Brian is working on fixing that right now.
• A fire extinguisher has accidentally discharged indoors.
• We cracked my last bottle of the 2013 Hoppy Ending - and it was a hoppy ending indeed with a rich caramel flavor from 5 years of aging, shared with both the brewer and the label model.

The badges are off to the presses, the basement is cleared and airing out (2 dehumidifiers, 1 AC, 1 giant fan), the final sponsorship plaques have been lasered, and the backyard landscaping is done (please direct all compliments to Aaron, please... please). We just waiting for the weather to break and the rest of y'all to show up.

Looks like it's time for Digi to get a Mime

Just in time!

That was AWESOME... hot too. About 15 Pokestops and 8 gyms all within 0.9 miles. All lured too. I ended up capturing 109 Larvitars in the 3 hours. Ended up with 4 that were about 85% and one shiny.

Just landed at DTW

Update: I'll be 32 for the event

Damn. That's alot of Pokestops in one area. I forgot to evolve my Tyranitar during the event, but it was still fun getting out to a local park walking around. There were probably 20 people or so walking around. Not bad when it was 95 degrees out.
