01/31/2010 – Perfect Timing

So last Friday (or two days ago, if you will) I finally attended another “Magic Night” at our local mall. I was integral (along with a few friends) in setting up the event in the first place, and have been to nearly every one, but I found myself missing them lately.

Y’see, the weekly event (formerly biweekly until Octoberish) was put on hiatus from after December 11 until January 8th, 2010, and I felt awful thinking I’d have to wait three or more weeks until playing Magic again, after the holidays.

Well by the time the Magic Night started up again, my hours were in a state of flux, and had been since mid-December. I found myself working weird shifts for a while, but after I went back to my normal schedule, I was still working later shifts than usual until very recently.

That finally ended, and I was able to attend again two days ago, and it was awesome. I hadn’t realized how much I missed it. I got to see my friends, got to play some Magic, got free refreshments.. but mostly the Magic/Friends was awesome.

I then spent the majority of Saturday after that (yesterday, if you will) playing Magic all over Vancouver with my friends Jeff and Ty, and during that weird but awesome trip we ended up buying tonnes of boosters and a few sets o’ Planechase, etc. It was awesome.

I’m glad I’ve gotten back into Magic again (even though I was only without it for about a month) because the next expansion set, Worldwake, comes out officially on February 5th 2010. For those not in the know, that’s this Friday. This coming Magic Night.

There’s only one thing I like more than a Magic Night. And that’s a Magic Night where everyone is pissed off because they can’t get cards from the latest set, because someone else bought ‘em all.

I’m planning on either calling or going into The Lions Den (the local hobby shop, whose owner Dan runs the Magic Night at the Trail Bay Centre every Friday) and seeing how much Worldwake he’ll be getting in, and if I can have him set some aside for me.

Here’s hoping Friday is awesome, and that I get at least one Worldwake booster. ;)

(P.S. The photo is of my “pile o’ recent cards” that have yet to be sorted… most of which I picked up yesterday in the city. I’m planning on going through them either tonight or tomorrow, sorting ‘em, filing ‘em away, and maybe looking for some deck ideas. I love Magic!)
