Commander

Monday, November 24, 2014 I arrived at the card shop at around 3:41 p.m. and it was slightly chilly outside. When I walked in Pie and the blonde hair employee were talking about how their art exhibition went not too long ago. Apparently they closed the shop down yesterday for an art exhibit and I wasn’t aware that they have done this. I wonder if any of the players showed up, according to the pictures on their website, I didn’t recognize any faces except for pie but he works there.

Things were back to normal however when I reached the back room, the tables still aligned the same way and the same yugioh player faces and then some magic players who are away from all the Yugioh players. There was four magic players that were playing a format called commander, and they hardly show up to the card shop, just on Tuesdays. They were all slightly chubby except one that was skinny with a blonde curly afro. They weren't middle age like the rest of the magic community, they all seemed to be around eighteen or nineteen.


The Yugioh community were about the same as they are always, with the El Paso community extremely loud and cursing, and the everyone else talking above each other except a few that were extremely quiet. Nearnayum wasn't here again and he is always here usually, maybe he is out of town because it is Thanks Giving Break. It makes me wonder if the players were going anywhere for thanksgiving break.
