My Summer is Filling Up

My boss told me last week the company is sending me to OSCON this year. It’s the first time I’ve attended any type of software convention, and I’m looking forward to it, though I wish they would send some of my co-workers along with me. Lisa wanted to go just to checkout the city of Portland, but seeing how plane tickets are currently over $600, I thought that was a bit high, seeing how I would probably only be there a couple days. I still need to decide which seminars I want to attend, and of course my company doesn’t want to pay for the entire week.

Last night we held our VS release celebration for the “World’s Finest” set. It was a blast. I put together a Outsiders/Arkham inmates deck that ended up going 5-0. Insanity is too good in sealed. I had to cut 3 cards I wanted to play just to make my deck “Insane” but the benifits were well worth it. One of the cards I had in my pull was Beside Myself, which drew me a LOT of extra cards. I don’t see how I could lose drawing 5-10 cards more than my opponent. Other all-star cards were Katana (5 drop), Deathstroke, and Great White. At the end of the night, I won 6 packs of cards, a playmat, and EA versions of Batman, Superman, and some plot twist I don’t recall the name of.
