We're thinking Friday, and probably around 3:00pm. We already have a Majora's Mask Skull Kid (myself) and a Ocarina of Time Sheik (friend) and are looking to create this as part of a fun gathering.

Anyone Interested? Show the love to the green tunic ladies and gentlemen. The golden gauntlets...


...They have been thrown down.

So on monday, my friend and I walked across the street, and I kicked at someones license on the crosswalk. We picked it up, found it was in San Jose, and decided to go on the adventure to return it to them.

We did, left our badges with her as that very stylish, "Here's our card" hero thing. And went about our daily lives.

Then we started thinking, what if she had her purse or bag stolen, and we just returned the ID, maybe she thinks we robbed her and decided to be total Dbags and just return her ID. (I might be paranoid, but life hates me when I try and do nice things.)

So, I think, just to be safe. We found the ID on the ground, and returned it accordingly, Didn't want you getting pulled over without a license.

Yup, I was the very akwardly dressed Hypno and my friend was my Team Magma Girl Trainer. There was also a Silver haired girl traveling with a deathnote guy who I'd like to be re-introduced to. (and a Zapados I almost battled in the middle of the street.)

Perusing my local toy store the other day I came across the Nerf section. And Then I realized; Much like a flashmob, a giant nerf battle would indeed be the best possible thing ever.  It can be a timed thing, or it can take up some space in the gaming room. or even the 1st floor main hall since that place is usually pretty sparse.  I don't think we'll need it peace bonded, since nerf "weaponry" is allowed for ages like 7 and up. Maybe we will though, but still, get your sniper rifles / dual weilding pistols ready boys and girls, because we could end up making a great thing unforgetable.

Questions? Comments? Suggestions? Do please let me know.

-Because I can.
