Last week, I met up with MandalayX as he was up in Seattle for the PAX 2007. I was invited a few friends, but PAX isn’t really my thing. I enjoy playing games, but not as much as what most people would assume. Let’s just say the game I play most often is still probably Free Cell, and I can go without turning on my Xbox 360 for months.
We met up on Thursday night and we caught dinner and just chatted. There was a lot of catching up to do. For those who don’t know, MandalayX was my roommate freshman year in the dorms. We’ve kept in touch, but didn’t really see each other that often after the 1st year. He appears to be doing well, but his hours are rather harsh. I guess that’s the problem with family businesses. He wanted to check out my place so I took him back and showed him around. He even got to try out MexiCoke. He said their wasn’t much difference in the initial taste, but the aftertaste was definitely different.
All in all, it was a pleasure to see him again. That reminds me, I still have some food left over from that night… Guess that’ll have to wait till Tuesday as I’m going over to a friend’s place for a cookout for Labor Day.
