Superstars’ new location
I spent the bulk of last weekend (the waking hours anyway) at Superstars. Superstars is a (some would say “the”) Magic the Gathering retailer in the South Bay area (if not beyond).
Here are some more pics from the weekend.
The space is awesome… huge… natural lighting from skylights… just fabulous. I love the banners from Magic over the years. It’s far more convenient for me to get to/from compared to the previous location. Between that and the fact that I want to get more serious about Magic (i.e. play a whole bunch more… I’m targeting 16+ hours a week of actual playing time, plus time reading and experimenting with cards), I expect I’ll be spending a fair bit of time there.
Great after-market activity too. I sold a handful of cards to the shop, and traded for a bunch that Nancy or I needed.
A good friend I got to know in Chicago was in town and dropped by for me to teach him how to play. We had a game of Elves vs. Goblins. He played Elves.. and had insanely good draws… I on the other hand got mediocre draws and had my ass kicked into next week. Ah… but what better way to learn. He was hooked and left with a couple of precon decks from 10th for he & his wife to learn/play. I gave them a box full of extra 10th (un)commons I had to give them a jump start.
