iCON, Star Wars Reads Day, and Halloween, oh my!

Friday & Saturday we took time off work to enjoy some board game playing with each other and with the friends we made at iCON over the past few years.

We got to play a new game called Splendor - a jewelry themed strategy game where you pick up diamonds, rubies, emeralds, sapphires, or topazes to buy mines and refineries to win and impress high class nobles.

About mid-day Saturday, Russ went to Star Wars Reads Day at Barnes & Noble to participate and assist the 501st again.  Vader got to borrow his Lightsaber.  Not surprisingly, Russ came home with a Vader sippie cup, as drinks were on the house for those in costume.

All Vaders on deck!

Even big Fanboys get their foto op!

Halloween is fast approaching.  Time to put the last minute touches onto this year's newest costume.

Yes, THAT time of year, it is again...
