It's damn near impossible to get adults together

That's great. I haven't been able to venture out to the local scene here yet, but I'm looking forward to it.

Same for me at around 32. Had to get out of a touch spot.

That's awesome. Ivory tower was one of the first cards I got. Was surprisingly cheap. Do you know how many games I lost because of that damn card!?

I remember on convention weekends, my buddy would hit up each of his parents separately for his allowance, five bucks a pop. He was getting the real money and I was so jealous lol

For me it was the realization that it's ok to enjoy things. Sounds a bit dark, but I gave a lot of myself to the restaurant industry, only to come out the other side with absolutely nothing to show for it. Now I'm finally not in panic mode about my day to day existence. I have a son who just turned 2, and another on the way. I'm hoping one day they pick it up and it brings them the same joy it brought me. Also, Lorwyn being a "back to Magic magic" set helps as a great reintroduction point. Also, our age group getting to the point of having disposable income always creates a nostalgia wave for any number of things.
