Hello, Our Name Is


Well, it's about that time of year when everyone remembers a show called Game of Thrones. You know, that show that everyone loves and lost their collective marbles over last year.


Not you, however.

You knew what was going to happen already, because you read the books. You, like the North, remembered. You knew that from the moment Talisa stepped onto the screen, you thought to yourself, 'So Jeyne Westerling wasn't pregnant'. You know quite a bit actually, because beyond the books is a whole world for you to get lost in and you do, riding sand steeds in Dorne, eating a bowl o' brown in King's Landing, wine, women, and song on the Kingsroad all the way to the Wall. You've crossed the Narrow Sea, Dothraki Sea, skipped the Smoking Sea, steered straight past the Gulf of Grief, got nearly roasted by a black dragon; you've been all over. You heard stories that made you happy, made you sad, got you caught in some sort of intrigue with a river, and stuff that would make your hairs stand on end. One could live a lifetime and a half reading A Song of Ice and Fire.

If only there was a place with a well-stocked bar and tasty menu with a set time and date, five witty hosts, and all the ASOIAF nerdy shenanigans anyone could wish for?

Hi there, we're the Upjumped Sellswords. We got together over our shared love of the series and wanted to hang out with like minded people over artisanal fare and craft beers. This blog is our outlet for news, book/show chitchat,  and a way for you to reach us. We're looking forward to meeting you all and dazzling you with our superior (and superfluous) ASOIAF knowledge.
