Worst I had was when I thought I was purchasing a nice jelly doughnut, but the thing was filled with red bean paste.

Ah, I have had many fine adventures with Japanese vending machines. I’m sure I could have cobbled together a balanced breakfast from their wares.

Shelf-stable pizza calzone.

We're telling stories of our Essen adventures on a new At The Table with The Dice Tower. Games, food, crowds, and what we fit in our suitcases.

Today in the booth: filing a restraining order against a house.
Tomorrow: running away from a prophecy.

Tom is away for a new At The Table with The Dice Tower, so Julie are free at last to talk about... Julie's Monday to-do list. Which happens to be what needs to happen to move a booth to Essen.
