Who\u2019s ready to party hardy at the Expo<\/a> in Boston next week? The answer to this mostly rhetorical question is: not everyone. There\u2019s certainly nothing wrong with crowded spaces filled drinking, dancing, and loud music, but it isn\u2019t necessary the atmosphere all individuals want to find themselves in after a long day at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center. Some want something more laid back.<\/p>\n That\u2019s why coffee-person-extraordinaire (and really, you can take the \u201ccoffee\u201d part out of that sobriquet and it will be equally as accurate) Jenn Chen<\/a> has put together SCA Game Night<\/a>. Taking place Saturday, April 13th at Pavement Coffeehouse<\/a>\u2019s 415 Western Ave location, SCA Game Night is a way of mingling with your fellow coffee professionals in a laidback atmosphere without the pressure of drinking.<\/p>\n Now in its third year, the SCA Game Night is Chen\u2019s answer to the typical post-day-at-Expo festivities. \u201cThe goal of the night is still the same as it was last year and the year before: to have a \u2018party\u2019 that is a quieter alternative to all the other ones out there. I don\u2019t mind going out on SCA nights but crowds of people, loud spaces, and lots of emphasis on drinking just isn\u2019t my thing.\u201d Chen tells Sprudge. \u201cDuring Game Night, you get a chance to meet industry peers without music drowning out the conversation. It\u2019s a laid-back atmosphere with no pressure to drink alcohol or force conversation beyond talking about your next game move.\u201d<\/p>\n And what would a Game Night be without games? Boxes and boxes of games. Thanks to the generous donations of Pacific Foods<\/a>‘ Customer Marketing Manager for Specialty Coffee and Head Judge and Committee Chair for the US Barista Championships Nathanael May, there will be \u201cfive (5) moving boxes full of games<\/a>.\u201d And if you happen upon a game you like, you are more than welcome to take it home with you. Or if you\u2019re up to it, throw a board game or two into your luggage and bring it Game Night. I\u2019m packing the ever-portable Hey! That\u2019s My Fish that I copped last time I was at Coral Sword<\/a>. Sprudge Live lead photographer Charlie Burt will probably be bringing a suitcase full of Magic: The Gathering cards if you want to challenge him.<\/p>\n Soft drinks and plant-based snackies will be provided by your favorite coffee journalism, news and culture website Sprudge. Though there will be no kegs or signature cocktails or any other drinking compellers, SCA Game Night isn\u2019t requiring any teetotaling. Alcoholic beverage are available on a BYO basis.<\/p>\n SCA Game Night kicks off promptly at 6:00pm at Pavement Coffeehouse on 415 Western Ave. The event is free to attend and welcome to all Expo attendees and local coffee professionals.
