It was just as silly and fun as it sounds. Unfortunately, it was too dark for photography and a little to expensive for my wallet.

Held again in temporary Olympic facilities, neither the air-conditioning nor the art displays were up to the job. I found one collection of illustrations I liked, but I hope the winter edition of this show will return to its usual high quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>8\u6708\u4e0b\u65ec\u307e\u3067 \u731b\u6691\u306b\u5acc\u6c17\u304c\u3055\u3057\u3066\u3044\u3066\u3001\u300cCometia\u300d\u3068\u3044\u3046\u4e00\u756a\u597d\u304d\u306a\u6f2b\u753b\u30a4\u30d9\u30f3\u30c8\u306b\u4f55\u3068\u304b\u884c\u304d\u307e\u3057\u305f\u3002Tokyo Design Festa\u3068\u540c\u69d8\u306b\u81e8\u6642\u306e\u5efa\u7269\u3067\u958b\u304b\u308c\u307e\u3057\u305f\u304c\u3001\u30a8\u30a2\u30b3\u30f3\u3068\u5c55\u89a7\u4f1a\u306e\u5185\u5bb9\u304c\u3044\u307e\u3072\u3068\u3064\u3067\u3057\u305f\u3002\u3000\u9762\u767d\u3044\u30a4\u30e9\u30b9\u30c8\u30ec\u30fc\u30b7\u30e7\u30f3\u306e\u753b\u96c6\u3092\u4e00\u518a\u8cb7\u3044\u307e\u3057\u305f\u3002\u3053\u3093\u3069\u306e\u51ac\u306e\u30b7\u30e7\u30fc\u306f\u3044\u3064\u3082\u306e\u9ad8\u54c1\u8cea\u306b\u623b\u3063\u3066\u304f\u308c\u305f\u3089\u3044\u3044\u3067\u3059\u3002<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Brad&#8217; Gaming Convalescence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>August was great month for gaming, especially at work where a network of board-gamers is slowly developing. I played the classics Carcassonne, Settlers of Catan, and High Society. I tried Concordia, the hit Euro from a few years back, and thought it was excellent. I also tried Imhotep, another Euro, and found it very clever as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u516b\u6708\u306f\u30b2\u30fc\u30e0\u306b\u306f\u826f\u3044\u6708\u3067\u3057\u305f\u3002\u4ed5\u4e8b\u5148\u3067\u30dc\u30fc\u30c9\u30b2\u30fc\u30e0\u3092\u3059\u308b\u4eba\u306e\u30cd\u30c3\u30c8\u30ef\u30fc\u30af\u306e\u304c\u5c11\u3057\u305a\u3064\u767a\u9054\u3057\u3066\u3044\u307e\u3059\u3002\u30af\u30e9\u30b7\u30c3\u30af\u306eCarcassone\u3068\u30ab\u30bf\u30f3\u3068High Society\u3092\u3057\u307e\u3057\u305f\u3002\u6570\u5e74\u524d\u306eEuro\u306e\u30d2\u30c3\u30c8\u4ee5\u6765\u3001Concordia\u3068\u3044\u3046\u30b2\u30fc\u30e0\u3092\u521d\u3081\u3066\u3044\u3044\u3068\u601d\u3044\u307e\u3057\u305f\u3002\u3000\u305d\u3057\u3066Imhotep\u3068\u3044\u3046\u307b\u304b\u306eEuro\u3092\u3057\u3066\u3001\u305d\u308c\u3082\u9762\u767d\u3044\u3068\u601d\u3044\u307e\u3057\u305f\u3002<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>August this year was a blur of heat, sweat, and flashy costumes.&nbsp; Let&#8217;s see if you get as exhausted reading about it as I did doing it. \u4eca\u5e74\u306e\u516b\u6708\u306f\u6691\u3055\u3068\u6c57\u3068\u3001\u306f\u3067\u306a\u30b3\u30b9\u30d7\u30ec\u3067\u3044\u3063\u3071\u3044\u3067\u3057\u305f\u3002\u3000\u79c1\u304c\u75b2\u308c\u305f\u3088\u3046\u306b\u3001\u3042\u306a\u305f\u3082\u8aad\u3093\u3067\u75b2\u308c\u308b\u304b\u306a\u3002 Tokyo Design Festa Surprise My favorite art event, Tokyo Design Festa, held an additional occurrence this year, taking advantage of temporary space created for the Olympics.
