Puzzle Spy International @agentepsilon.bsky.social · Aug 10

Folks playing - appropriately enough - a puzzle about French word at our table at MAGwest on the last day of the show. @magwestofficial.bsky.social

3 or 4 con attendees hover over a laptop to solve a puzzle. One of them is in a black-and-white striped shirt, a red beret, and has a baguette slung over his back.

The last time @streetcleaner.bsky.social and I got to perform Garbage Day was in 2019 before Annihilation released. That night was a highlight for me, and to do it again at @magwestofficial.bsky.social felt full circle. I first met him in 2018 when we both played Mainstage and quickly became buds

Woah! We forgot to post anything during @magwestofficial.bsky.social! We had a blast taking over the Variety Stage with speedruns, music and panels!

But most importantly, we raised $3,076.77 for the @childsplaycharity.bsky.social!

That’s a hell of our start for our first year going FAST at West!
