The scoop on the best night ever

At 5:00, Roxanne showed up as scheduled at the Kowloon Tong station. We took the MTR (train) to Kowloon bay then a short walk to Micheal's (AKA SmaZ) shop. It was large for a Hong Kong shop and filled to the brim with puzzles. SmaZ is a well-known master craftsman of puzzles and was very kind to me. Roxanne was kind enough to stay with me for the entire night as I experienced the joys of shops devoted to puzzles. From Micheal's shop I got a total of 13 puzzles, 4 of which he gave to me as gifts (including one of his amazing customs, which is a true honour to have). Roxanne decided that we were going to dinner together when who should show up but Mr. Meffert! We had been planning on meeting him tomorrow but he was in town today instead. I got a chance to see some of the top-secret stuff that blew my mind, and he gave us 2 signed puzzles (a pyraminx crystal and Skewb Ultimate). He is a great man with a good sense of humour, and very kind as well. Although it was late by then, we proceeded to another puzzle shop that was somewhat smaller. That got a result of 12 puzzles (2 gifts). I also got to play with an 11x11 cube (it's a Knock-Off and it was HUGE, very unwieldy, and difficult to play with). Here's a list of things that I got (mainly for Victor's benefit):

1 teraminx

1 Crazy 4x4 type I

1 Crazy 4x4 type II

1 Square-2 SmaZ custom

2 QJ dominoes (don't know why we got 2...)

1 Crazy Domino

1 HQ keychain 3x3

1 Corner-Turning Octahedron

1 3x3 Dodecahedron

1 Trajber's Octahedron

1 C4Y cubic 3x3x7

1 3x3 Octahedron (not Trajber's but different)

1 Rubik's UFO

1 Quarks void 2x2

1 Mefferts Golden Egg (skewb egg)

1 Mefferts Skewb Diamond

1 Mefferts Holey Octahedron

1 Mefferts Fisher Cube

1 Mefferts Skewb Ultimate signed by Uwe Meffert

1 Mefferts Pyraminx Crystal signed by Uwe Meffert

1 SmaZ Sudoku 2x2

1 Micro 3x3 (it's really small...gnome-sized, in fact)

1 Eastsheen 2x2

1 Rainbow Cube

1 domino with SmaZ stickers

1 SmaZ custom Castle Cube

I think that's it...but what's even cooler was the things I got to touch...11x11, 9x9, Mr. Meffert's first Pyraminx prototype, some puzzles that I can't even tell you about but one of which you puzzle people will find out about shortly (I don't even know if I'm allowed to say that...), Marco's Pyramid, Marco's Cube...some really nice puzzles.
