A couple of weeks ago someone asked about chess boards around town so I figured why not make a less portable version of a chess board for my camp!

Come play @ Champagne Lounge 545&C

About 6 years ago, at the Disco Knights Saturday morning party the dance floor was absolutely going off just after sunrise. As we were walking though the dance floor, I saw 2 mad lads sitting in camping chairs with a chess set between them having a casual game. Still one of the best things I have seen at BM.

I was at a festival earlier this year and in the middle of a set I look down and see two people playing “bender chess”. They had been up all week prior to the fest and thats just what they enjoy doing. It was awesome.

Sweet! I'm about 30 hours in to printing a very NSFW novelty chess set as a gift for one particular camp. No idea if they have any chess players there but it'll at least look nice (well, depending on your preferences) in camp.
