When I arrived at the place I was sorry that I didn't see any puzzlehunters. But I was wrong. Actually, Tyler Hinman was there. But he was sitting up front on a sofa, and I didn't recognize him from the back of his head.
I've failed to recognize Tyler from the back of his head once before, you may recall.
At least once.
Afterwards, he discreetly refused to tell me any NPL con gossip. What a gentleman.
And I was doubly wrong because there were more puzzlehunters there—two members of Viscosity Breakdown. Not that I knew who Viscosity Breakdown are. I didn't even recognize them as puzzlehunters; I thought, oh they say they're puzzlehunters, they must be new. But they're not new. Apparently, they were playing puzzlehunts more than 10 years ago as team Secular Hedonists. But then folks moved away to grad school, and that team fell apart. But now a couple of them are back in the area, getting back into games. (But still they're not new; they've been playing again for years. I'm just clueless. And really grateful they introduced themselves.) So if you run into team Viscosity Breakdown, ask 'em about the good old days, I guess. Well, they seem pretty happy with the new days. Anyhow.
Anyhow, sleep beckons.
