    We got 8 people for our St. Pete’s tournament. I decided to do 3 rounds of swiss with the top 2 people playing a single game to determine the champion.

    1st round results were
    Doug 226 - Mindy 171
    Jim 102 – Sam 87
    Barry 121 – Dave 113

    Jim 108 – Chris 105
    Doug 154 – Barry 122
    Mindy 84 – Sam 65
    Kowal 106 – Dave 92

    After the 2nd Rnd Sam and Kowal decided to play the magical cards instead of St. Pete’s

    3rd round results were
    Doug 92 – Jim 89
    Barry 127 - Chris 90

    In the last game Doug started with chairs and squares. He won the game having both pubs for the third game of the four he played.

    It was a fun night, anyone have any ideas for the next weird board game thing we should do????

    Yay!
    We just hit 7000 in sales for this month. That's our stable point. Go us.

    Sorry I didn't bother maintaining this thing.

    I'm sure you saw that coming.

    I suck.

    Sunday Max bought some arena racing game. We played it once, it was alright, the magic rules probably help. Then we tried Fairy Tale. Then we kept playing Fairy Tale. It's really good.

    Today there was some extended testing, some 5 color, some Fairy Tale, some Wits and Wagers, and exactly one draft. It was an eight person that went really slowly. That was pretty disappointing, but at least the night was reasonably fun. After our first week I guess we're on track to make more like $6,000 in sales. The party will help, but I'm kind of fearing the week between Christmas and New years.

    Friday
    Today was great for sales. We had 17 people for FNM, Dave, Jared, and Matt Knutson 3-0'd. After 11:00 some people came over and we got a late night draft in.

    We just broke $5,000 in sales for the last month. Our goal for long term stability is $7,000 a month. I'm really optimistic about hitting that this month, but not so sure about January and February.

    We also got new graphic novels in and a ton of new sleeves and Dungeoneers.

    Thursday. What happens on Thursday?
    Only 3 drafts happened last night because there was extended testing to be done as well. Tuesday there was also extended testing. Tonight, I have no idea if anything's happening.

    Today we're looking into having Dan try to put some games on ebay and doing a little bit of cleaning. We're also starting to plan more for our PIZZA PARTY ON DECEMBER 10th that everyone should go to. It'll be like the opening parties, but more in celebration of random fun (or maybe winter holidays) and less about our opening.

    Saturday-Sunday
    Saturday afternoon to evening featured a couple drafts. One six man in the afternoon and one four person free for all in the evening.

    Sunday boardgaming was pretty well attended. Fist just Max, then Barry and Matt, then Mindy and four of her friends showed up. Ticket to Ride: Europe, Carcassonne, and Bohnanza were played.

    At one point someone came in and asked about the game we were playing and bought three comics. This is very exciting, as it means we can finally justify getting another order from Diamond (our comic distributor). Reply if you want us to get anything in particular for you.

    Friday
    Sales were very good yesterday. We ended up getting just enough for FNM. The one pod opened three duals and Glimpse and then half of us got counterspells. Duane and Bryan split in the finals. Before that there was some 5 and DC10ing through Jordan's box. We only have one copy of Blokus and I sold the store copy, so Blokus will be unavailable until monday. Same with Wits and Wagers.

    It's not even one and we've sold some GURPS stuff and bought a bunch of packs from the old Dragon's Den guy. We now carry a couple packs of some random games like Game of Thrones and Raw Deal as well as L5R Diamond Starters.

    We have a livejournal now!
    Theoretically I'll be posting stuff that happens in the store and new products we get in and stuff here. We'll see what actually happens. At the moment I'm very curious as to whether we'll have enough people to draft tonight.
