Friday Night Magic

Anyone with a google search should know that fedoras are out.

Look, I'm not trendy, my daily outfit usually consists of  a brown bomber jacket, (with a fur collar) a mono colored t-shirt,(of the black, lighter black, white, or blue varieties) darkwash jeans and worker boots; but even an untrendy, unstylish guy like me knows that fedoras are a no-go.

Anyway, as gawkery as that sounded, I bring this up because I was at Friday Night Magic.

I like Magic, I like it a lot actually. I try to draft 2-3 times a month. I'm working on a pauper deck, and I'm 3 cards away from finishing my Soul Sister deck.  (I'm trying to convince someone to trade me for an 3 Archangels of Thune)

But the two things I dislike about Magic, are the business model, (Booster packs are scary and are basically a slot machine. The idea of paying $40 for a card is absurd to me too. That's two weeks of gas for me, or half of my grocery bill.) And the non-friend group people who play it. Some of those people wear Fedoras.

It isn't new to talk about what Fedoras mean to people, especially in an internet savvy age. But man, you'd think people would try to not to be a fedora guy.

While sitting around waiting for the draft to start, my friends and I (me, 3 guys and a gal) were approached by this dude.

A dude with tan cargo shorts, black tennis shoes, pieced ears with goat horn earrings, a leather fedora , a shirt one size too big that said "MAKE ME A SANDWICH" on it, and said

"I'm starting a game of Cards Against Humanity, want to play?"

We said no. Easiest decision I've ever made.

And I hate Cards Against Humanity.

Oh and a plus, my friend bought two tickets for a Neutral Milk Hotel concert, and gave me one as a gift.
