6:24pm
Setup and ready to go. Let the gaminess begin
6:27pm
Dennis & the Dr. won't stop blabbing about the music biz. Hey! What's the game? The fans are falling asleep.
6:36pm
Finally, the first game is chosen: "Lie, Cheat and Steal".

6:39pm
Political backstabbing. Wish I were playing instead of this stupid blogging. At least there's bourbon for the blog staff. Incoming call. The web world manifests itself. The pressure. At least there's bourbon. Col. starts.
6:44pm
The rules. Are read. Thank jeebus I don't have to pay attention. This could be the best game night ever!

7:02pm
Confusion sets in. The Dr. is one bankrupt politico. He's headed for the pen. There is justice...for the small fry.
7:10pm
Stage management. The table is moved closer to the camera.

7:18pm
The Dr. cheats. How many votes to win? 500. Crap. This could go on longer than the Dem. primary.
7:21pm
Col. buys votes. Called to the witness stand. Can I get a witness? Accused by the Dr. of lying. Aquitted.
7:31pm
The Dr., counting votes.

7:33pm
Dr. slammed for tax evasion, back in the pokey and busted.
7:38pm
Col. turn to get busted, head for the can.
7:45pm
500 VOTES! Col. gets elected.


7:53pm
Next in line Star Wars - Escape the Death Star
8:03pm
6 year old rules or for 8 year olds? Hard call.
8:16pm
Comments! For crying out loud. Hard enough to live blog but I got to moderate comments too? 1st game, no teams. Star Wars, yes, rebels vs. empire (Dr. Vader). Yes, betting is allowed, house always wins.
Whoa! big development, Bobba Fett is down!
8:21pm
Rebels are arming! Vader is soiling his drawers! The storm troopers are capitulating.

8:29pm
The Empire Strikes Back! Monster rebels eating space dirt. Confusion. Remember to account for the red shift.
8:40pm
Dragging on boys. The fans are turning in for the night.
8:42pm
Do we have a winner. Check the rules. Yes, the Empire rules. Our Emperor seems confused, not accustomed to victory:

8:47pm
And so we wrap it up. One last picture with the technical staff included. Live blogging, thrilling or what?
