It truly was. The only downsides were that Chris's daughter spilled down the wooden deck stairs whilst we were eating (like 3 feet away) but she ended up being fine, and my daughter had her lower lip yanked darn near off her face and got slammed in a door by another little girl there, but again, she's tough as a bag of nails and she was fine too. All in all, EVERYONE, without exception, had an wonderful time of food, fun, and games.
Everyone, that is, besides YB, whom I held RIGHT to the fire on every single rule I could. A bit of an overbearing one I was, but with that guy you have to try anything you can within the rules. One comedic moment was when his Obi Wan JUST came short of striking range (maybe 3/4 inch) and he was plying to get a sneaky shot it, so I started browbeating him and put my finger in front of his Obi Wan to ensure no 'force move' would grant him a crushing blow. He resigned himself to not getting a shot in as we were all in agreement that there was no way he was going to get a shot in from that distance, and we played on. It was funny as hell to see him so frustrated, though. Quote of the day was "Man, I thought these were going to be FRIENDLY games!" to which I replied, "Heck, you'll be my LADIDA forever, but I gotta do something!" ;D
Lots of fun, great food, and really great friends.

He was. All in fun, though. He really is a good friend of mine, but sometimes we both get a little overzealous in our quest for the perfect strike.

The match between YB and SF was one of the best matches I have ever seen. At one time I believe YB even got shot in the testicles. HILARIOUS!!

Remind me to invest in some form of protection before I play any of you guys - for my future children's sake!

Actually, it was (I believe) your wife's Venom that caught me in the righty as I was observing her 100-point launcher match with superfly. He shot a loaded Venom in the button, which released her Venom's loogie, whose pinpoint accuracy dropped me like a rock. Yes, I was actually on the floor writhing for a few seconds. Perhaps more out of surprise than pain, but there was definitely pain involved.

Y.B., I might not want to know the answer, but are you going to make it to GEN CON in Indianapolis? It would be great to have everyone from Pita Bread's party there. I hope to see ya'll there, it would be nice to have other familiar faces to play with. And I mean "play" as in Attacktix, not "play" as in, well, you know.

I do believe YB was shot in the gonads twice. The Venom was by far the funnier (sorry S) as it was completely unanticipated, but I think he caught a rock in the sock another time as well.
