Just returned y’day from the Hoopje Weekend 2008. It was really good to see the group again, and to catch up with people. Of course, in such a weekend you never manage to have a good talk with everyone you would like to catch up with. But I did enjoy myself tremendously :)
In a nutshell:
- There were less games and more whisky for me this time around (although not that much whisky).
- To me, it’s very nice if people make an effort. Case in point: Bianca baking pancakes for everyone, Sjoerd & Rinske creating a wonderful curry, etc. Not just grand gestures, but also the small things. And I really like that in this group, there is plenty of that going around.
- Bringing the DS was not really necessary, and there was quite a bit of electronic gaming going on Saturday. That was a natural reaction to being lame, lack of sleep and not bringing a book, I guess :)
- Being last to go to bed because of a very good chat is cool
- Being first to wake up then is not really necessary ;)
- Werewolves of Wakkerdam is a nice game, but can be played easily without the accessories (i.e. the game). That’s of course what happens with role playing games
- I should pay more attention to the cards I get. Seer != werewolf :)
- Ghost in the shell still is a cool movie. But not that fast-paced :)
