Where in Illinois are you? Are you interested in coming to our Regionals? They're August 15th (assuming Illinois is still in Phase 4 then) at my house in the Chicago 'burbs.

I'd love to come up and play with someone besides my 1 or 2 buddies sometime yeah! I play almost exclusively with non-virtual cards but that's something I've been wanting to change lately. I've got nothing against them it's just my circle has always been pretty traditional.

I'm a few hours south in the small town of Altamont which isn't too far away from St Louis. I'd love to meet up sometime for sure I'd just have to figure out some logistics.

Because hey, it's an actual Covid/Trek connection?

This made me laugh and also die a little inside.

And I'm yelling at people on the internet and signing Change.org petitions to help with what I think is needed...

It was arguably the correct take before COVID-19... ;)

So, this appeared in the downtown today:

Not construction, but barricading off the "bubble" for the NHL playoffs. Edmonton is one of the hub cities, so looks like they're No Man's Landing a big chunk of the downtown core to be "hockey only".

So, please tune in, because this is gonna be such a pain in the arse for everyone who needs to get downtown. (They haven't officially announced the full size, but it looks like several office towers, the downtown mall, and an entire LRT station will be part of The Hockey.)

It will be. And the exceptions around all the SportsBall people and their families is one of the points being raised by the advocacy group I joined.

The families piece still seems to be up in the air, since you're either locked in the bubble or locked out of the bubble. So if a spouse wants to be locked in a hotel room for the next several months, it don't bother me. But my understanding is that spouses/kids don't get to come to Edmonton and then go weekending in Jasper. (Or even get to go shopping in town - they've been wooing the downtown restaurants to go "into the bubble" and serve the players exclusively and most are shooting them down. I'm guessing that's why City Centre Mall is now in No Man's Land.)

On the other hand, they decided to put the practice rinks at a community hall 15 km away, so we'll have all the plague carriers commuting past our house several times a day. That'll be fun.
