    I’d like to sign up for all three, if that’s possible.

  2. Jim O'Kelley

    Peter Yeargin’s game on July 17 is now full.

    Asshirwad, we can sign you up as a standby for that one and will add you to the July 24 and Aug. 14 games. Good to have you aboard!

  3. Aashirwad Viswanathan Anand

    Call me ‘Aash’ 🙂

  4. Jim O'Kelley

    Peter’s game is back open, but the last spot will go quickly…

  5. Thom Comstock

    I Want To ATTEND.

    CURRENTLY, though I have to work until at least 10:30am (maybe until Noon).

    The earliest I can arrive would be 11:00am.

    Probably the latest I could arrive would be 1pm.

    Giving you notice.

    Peter’s game closed about 15 minutes after it reopened. We’re still looking for one more for Dan Burgess’ game in Downers Grove on July 24. Plenty of spots available for the Weasel Pyle on Aug. 14, but those will go quickly as we get closer.

  7. Samuel Bassett

    Please add me to July 24 and to Weasel Pyle V.

    Done. Dan’s game is now full; we need one more to fill a second board at Eric’s.

  9. Jim O'Kelley

    The first two Pyle boards are full. Let’s start a third…

  10. Grant Smith

    I will plan to come for the Pyle, hopefully the Moot as well. Am I supposed to be able to sign myself up on that list?

    No. We don’t give edit rights to just anybody. 🙂

    We could use one more player for this Saturday’s game and also next Saturday’s game. Anyone?

  12. Jim O'Kelley

    John Gramila has signed on as our seventh for this Saturday’s game. Thanks, John!

  13. Jim O'Kelley

    And Christian Kline just stepped forward, so now all three of the players who asked to be replaced have been replaced. Weasels helping Weasels. Ain’t it great?

  14. Aashirwad Viswanathan Anand

    Is anyone in the Downer’s Grove game this weekend driving through Hyde Park, Downtown Chicago, or Elgin and willing to hitch me a ride to Wayne? Depending on where you’re driving through, I can make my way there through a combination of trains and buses, but the last stretch I believe (Elgin-Wayne) is definitely impossible by public transit.

  15. Aashirwad Viswanathan Anand

    In return, I promise a fruitful gamelong alliance.

  16. Jim O'Kelley

    Aash:
    I think you’re mixing up two different games. This weekend’s game is in Downers Grove; the Pyle on Aug. 14 is in Wayne.

    Downers Grove is not too difficult to reach by pt. You just have to plan accordingly. The Burlington Northern Metra line stops in downtown Downers Grove; I’m sure Dan can arrange to have you picked up there.

    Getting to the Pyle will be trickier, but if you can get close to one of their homes, one of the downtown Weasels will probably offer you a ride.

  17. Aashirwad Viswanathan Anand

    Ah. My bad! My offer still holds for the game in Elgin. But I think I should be able to make my way to Downer’s Grove fine.

  18. Jim O'Kelley

    Tony Prokes is in for the Pyle. Four spots left…unless Eric agrees to open a fourth board…

  19. Jim O'Kelley

    …And Tony Prokes will be our seventh on Saturday. Thanks, Tony!

  20. Jim O'Kelley

    Andrew Bartlein and Christian Kline have signed up for the Pyle. Only two spots left…
