Jane and I have to say that Saturday was an amazing launch of our second season.  Jack Patillo, our emcee, was fantastic as always and the Hurd family (name sound familiar?) were in to help set up.  Over 70 people showed up for the tournament and about 30 or so competed on Melee. Sadly, gone are the days of Cheeto & Dew and ...

My last day here at the Gaming, Learning and Libraries Symposium right outside of Chicago and it's a pretty cool place to be on Election Day. (Of course I can't vote here but -don't worry...I voted early...) I hope to make one last run to Navy Pier after the Symposium ends and before I have to catch my plane. I know most of you ...

I hadn't realized it had been almost a year since our Grand Finale! I am at an amazing Gaming Symposium near Chicago learning more than I could hope about teens, gaming and libraries.

Ok you little sweaty palmed maniacs.  The moment we've all been waiting for. Who will emerge victorious and lord his/her hard won plastic over all the land?  Hmmm...could it be one of the Hurd brothers who, after placing back to back at our first two tourneys, were not to be seen?  Could it be the shrugger Damian who ...

In a mind bending two hours of frenzied kart dashing four gamers advanced by sheer skill and brute force.  From left to right: Ian, C.J., first place winner Brandon, Cesar and showing off his fine Wii fashion-color commentator Jack Patillo. Now- here is the deal...One more tournament event -then the big throw down. I would read this ...

Local author April Lurie graced us with a visit at last nights Book Club.  We discussed her funny book Brothers, Boyfriends and Other Criminal Minds.  We were so fortunate to hear her talk about all kinds of subjects from brothers to her favorite books.  Next Book Club meeting will be on Tuesday November the 16th from 6:00-7:00 ...

Is it in the genes?   Once upon a time Jared H. placed in the top four in round one of the 2-6 Teen Gaming Tournament.  Guess who took home the TOP prize this time...that's right, say it with me, Little Bro!!  It seems little brother Jacob has been taught a thing or two and maybe has some teaching to do ...

Ahh the Wii... rhymes with PS3 and come to think of it-with 3.6.T. Next-gen gaming consoles.   Which do you geek dream about?
