geek salad, ADD AD&D punk rock and beer

Some would say we were geeks. A true geek is a side show attraction, it means; a person who bites the heads off of chickens. I have never preformed this action, but the term geek has evolved, and in the modern sense of the word some would say I am indeed a geek. I am definitely into a lot of the things that are the very embodiment of geekdom. I love science and technology, sci-fi, fantasy, hacking and of course the pinnacle of all geekdom, RPG's. When me and my friends were younger we would spend every friday night sitting around playing AD&D, drinking beer and listening to punk rock. It took us a long time to get through a campaign because we spent the majority of the time joking around and screwing off, but man that was some fun shit. Those were the salad days of role playing and I am quite sure I will never forget them. We also played a space game that I don't even think exists any more. It was called Star Frontiers and it was a great game as well, but the best thing about it was it's incredible rules for space battles (I think we tweaked and added to them a little). Sometimes we would just have giant epic space battles on this big ass old medieval octagon table my uncle had built. It was unbelievably cool! This all took place in the early eighties (81 thru 83), and what a fine time it was. That was back when we were first getting into punk rock and we were listening to great bands like the sex pistols, the clash, the adolescence, devo (not really punk rock, but still kick ass party music), black flag, the descendants, fear, the plasmatics (again not really punk rock, but who can deny Wendy O'williams?) and one of our all time favorites the vandals. I want to be a cowboy! We went through a small period of time when we would just play the vandal album over and over, that was some great shit. I still like all of the aforementioned music if the truth be known. What can I say, I am still a kid at heart. At any rate we had these ADD AD&D all night marathon sleepover punk rock and beer parties for at least a couple of years where we would play AD&D and listen to punk until we passed out from drinking beer, but eventually we became suddenly somehow attractive to other people and we discovered parties and girls (who suddenly seemed to like us a lot). We all decided to party every weekend instead of play and eventually we partied nearly every night. Those were some good times though. I haven't played in a lot of years, but I really wouldn't mind finding a group to get together with once a week to play. When I sell my house here in Douglas AZ, I will be moving up into the city of Portland Oregon, so if their are any people in Portland who would be down with an RPG night let me know, that would be cool. I haven't played RPG"s in a while though, what are the best games out there now? if anybody has suggestions, I would like to hear your comments. PEACE!
