Hey Austin friends!
The Bethke family is leaving Austin in June.
We are going to sail Ad Astra full-time.
We are having a going-away party all weekend May 21st and May 22nd at our house.
This will be a combined party for all of our friends - BCG/game industry, MMA dojo, science team and homeschoolers.
It will be an all-day, and evening rolling party - come at anytime on Saturday or Sunday - whichever you can make. But the earlier you come - the greater the selection of Stuff you can make off with.
We will be serving Homeslice Pizza, beer and soda. Kids and adults welcome. Games played inside and outside a fire.
We are selling and giving away *ALL* of our stuff. We are not keeping a storage space, everything must go.
What do we have?
1) Books - lots and lots of books: travel, cooking, art, gardening, DIY, home improvement, woodworking, science, space, engineering, coding, fiction, fiction, chess, fiction, politics, economics, history, education, learning Korean, learning Japanese...
2) DVDs - many movies & series
3) RPG & Board games, classy mahjong set, go, Japanese chess. Very special: Dragon Magazine collection combined from Mark Terrano and me going back three decades. 3D RPG dungeon materials
4) MtG Cards - already sorted, sell list available, but a lot of fun with HUGE, HUGE common & land sets with over 20,000 cards - great fun for bulking out a collection or turning a friend onto MtG. Will be turning these into fun 1000 card starter sets.
5) LEGOS - massive bulk collection of Lego that has tons of Star Wars and Pirates. Has already been sorted into colors and bagged by the pound. Hundreds of minifigs.
6) Art - various - come and see
7) Chest freezer/fridge - many a many IPAs have enjoyed this guy
8) Massive oak dining table with 6 chairs. Be a king and slam your fist on the table while declaring war on your enemies!
9) Other smaller furniture
10) Swarovski crystal collection
11) Kitchen gear
12) Gardening tools & pots
13) Camping gear
14) Many mystery boxes and other treasures
Everything must go, say good bye to us, help keep some pets alive.

Bethke family
