So for a fun and FREE meet-up, I think we could all get together and play my favourite game of all time: Apples to Apples

And for those of you lamos that don't know what the game is, I will now paste a definition I stole from Wikipedia because I'm lazy and if I tried to explain it I would make you more confused than a blonde trying to drown a fish.

"Each player is dealt seven "red apple" cards; on each is printed a noun or noun phrase, or possibly a gerund.

The judge (a chosen player) draws a "green apple" card on which is printed an adjective ("scary", "frivolous", "patriotic", etc.), and places it face-up on the table for everybody to see. Then each player (except the judge) chooses a card that they think is the best match for the green apple card, and places it face-down. The judge shuffles the red apple cards, reads them (often aloud), and decides which noun is the best match for the adjective. This decision is subjective; the official rules encourage the judge to pick the match that is "most creative, humorous or interesting".

The player who submitted the chosen red apple card wins the round, and takes the green apple card to signify the win. All players then draw red cards until they have seven again, and the role of "judge" may pass to another person (generally going to the next player in line, though some rules have the round's winner becoming "judge"). Some editions of the game suggest discounting the last red-apple card played, to encourage players to place their cards down more quickly.
"

I do have a Party edition of Apples to Apples in which I can bring, and maybe some snacks so we can eat, and other people can bring snacks too, that'd be awesome

The only thing we'd need is a place to host this at, ideas/suggestions would be awesome

Well mister, I'd love it if you could attend but I don't know what's nearby to you nor do I have the slightest clue of where I can actually host this thing, so you're advice on this would be loved

Powell's is downtown, a central location for most of us I imagine, and has a coffee shop.

A gerund IS a noun, by the way. razz

That does seem like a good place. I just wasn't smart enough to think of it. Nor did I know we could I've only been there a few times and don't know much.

Powell's is awesome! And I can get there easily. O:

Oh man! I love Apples to Apples! If it does end up being at Powell's that'd be great. It's only a mile from my apartment and right across the street from my school, so if it's on a day I have free I'd most definitely come! >w<

Ah, nice. I used to go there, majored in game art & design. Though I left the college for a few reasons and went somewhere else (most of my instructors were being really rude to me, for one reason). I switched over to PCC, though now I'm finishing up my college career at PSU. But now I'm majoring in theater, heh heh... razz
