SoCal Games Day

Southern California's Games Day is a full day of convention-style open gaming for free. We play all sorts of strategy games: mostly German games, but also some abstract boardgames, wargames, and card games.
Games Days are scheduled every 2-3 months.

Games Day 8

Date: July 20, 2002
Time: 10am-midnight
Place: Montrose, Cal-Fed Savings & Loan (meeting room in basement)
Cost: 5 dollars

Please RSVP via email whether you're sure you'll be there, or even just hope you'll make it. Thanks.

Driving Directions

The Cal Fed Savings & Loan building is located at 2350 Honolulu Avenue, in the city of Montrose, pretty close to the junction of the Glendale Highway (2) and Foothill Freeway (210).

From the 210: Take the Ocean View Blvd. exit, turn south on Ocean View for a a few block (1/2 mile), then right on Honolulu Ave.
From the 2: get off at Verdugo. (You won't see much of a sign for this exit, as the 2 splits into the 210 west [left lanes], Foothill Blvd [center lanes], and the 210 east [right lanes]. Verdugo is technically part of the 210 east, so STAY IN THE RIGHTMOST LANE and exit at Verdugo before you take the long curve to the 210 and begin heading in the completely wrong direction.) Go left at the bottom of the Verdugo ramp (from either lane is OK). Go about 1 mile. Verdugo becomes Honolulu.

Parking is available just behind and alongside the bank, as well as on the main and side streets. Please take note of posted time limits, and be ready to move your car if necessary! Note that the Montrose Art Walk will be taking place this weekend, so parking may take a little work, or be a little walk. If you've got a lot of games to carry, you should be able to unload them near the entrance to our meeting room, then park your car.

Please enter through the rear door of the bank to go down to the basement meeting room.

Here's the front of the bank.

And here's the back. Games Day is held in the basement Community Room, which you enter via a stairwell and doorway back here.

Spread the word!

Announcements for Games Day are placed online where boardgamers are often found (rec.games.board, Consimworld, spielfrieks). Want to help out? Tell your boardgaming friends about Games Day, because word-of-mouth advertising is the best way to bring in more local gamers.
