What the fuck is all this? It seems like this whole blog is written based off the assumption that the reader seems to already know something of the subject matter. I for one, even though I haven't clicked on a link, have no idea what this is.

Also, 5 faps? What the hell am I missing here? Is this spam?

What's not to understand? In the very first sentence he immediately says this is about a "Games / Art show". Then he goes into more detail about it.

I would love to go to this but unfortunately live on the other side of the United States. Oh well... good luck with it anyway.

Hey Caffeine Knight,
Sorry I was super sleepy when I wrote this but yeah its an art show I curated consisting of some tabletop games, some sculpture, some video, but primarily indi games, which I personally believe are not just art but one of the highest forms of art. If you are in the area, come check it out. If not, the cool thing is, Im not alone and I see more and more game art shows popping up. So there could be one in your area sometime in the future, especially if you live somewhere cool.
