Your Dream Job. Do you have it? If not, what are you doing to get there? My wife asked me these questions two years ago and the answers were "no" and "nothing yet". My name is Ryan McConnell. Hi. Until recently my workday was spent reviewing research grant contracts and budgets. My dream, h...
Hey, Tumblr!
I don’t spend a lot of time posting these days because a) A baby! and b) This project I’ve been working on for months! I’m opening up a Tabletop Gaming Cafe in Milford, Connecticut. If you’ve never been, it’s like most cafe’s that you’ve been to - Coffee, pastries, wifi- but we’ll also have a few hundred boardgames, a video game couch stocked with nostalgia, and weekly events including Magic The Gathering, Hearthstone, Trivia nights, D&D, Pokemon, and of course open table nights for people to come in and make new friends/try new games. The hope is that his becomes a real community for people who want to spend time around the table with friends doing all of the nerd stuff we like to talk about online all day.
I’m writing here to spread the word, but also to ask for help if you can. This has been a dream project of mine for the past few years and we’re very close to having the funds we need. I’m working on a loan through a non-profit that helps get funding for start ups, but a little extra bit is going to go a long way in making this a reality.
There are a thousand GREAT things to donate your money to right now and a lot of people who need help for much more urgent and dire needs, and if you haven’t already given some to important causes and have been thinking about it please use your expendable money there first, but if you have the will and the means and are interested in fostering more real world spaces for people to spend time with friends and games, please click through the link for more information!
Thanks!
Ryan
