About Us!

Location
Brigade Games is located in Northern New Jersey in Morris County in the beautiful town of Kinnelon.

Brigade Games and Hobby Supply, LLP is run by Lon Weiss and assisted by his family (his wife and 4 children). In addition to our normal retail and mail order business, we attend the 3 HMGS East shows - Historicon, Cold Wars and Fall In. Lon can typically be seen at these conventions stocking product even late on Saturday between waiting on customers. His sons can typically be seen assisting locating items for customers or asking for money to go shop in the dealer hall. At night Lon and his sons can be located somewhere in the gaming area actually playing a game and relaxing with a beer.

Lon is the Scoutmaster of the local Kinnelon Boy Scout Troop 277 since June 2009 where he has been an Assistant Scoutmaster since his oldest son crossed from Cubs. Before that he was the Cubmaster of Pack 277 for 3 years and an Assistant Cubmaster for 2 years. All three of his sons are active in scouting. His oldest son earned his Eagle in July 2010. His middle son is currently Life and his youngest son is currently Star and hopefully both will be earning their Eagles.

You know you are from North Jersey when:

You're a genuine "north" Jerseyan if you recognize or can relate to at least 10 of these...

You don't think of citrus when people mention "The Oranges."
You've ordered a hard roll with butter for breakfast. Or a Taylor, Egg and Cheese.
You've known the way to Seaside Heights since you were ......seven!
You've eaten at a diner...when you were drunk...at 3 am.
You remember that the "Two Guys" were from Harrison. (depends on age)
You know that the state isn't one big oil refinery.
You know what a "jug handle" is.
You know that the state isn't all farmland.
You know that there are no "beaches" in New Jersey - there's "The Shore," and you know that the road to the shore is "The Parkway" not "The Garden State Highway."

You know what a Taylor, Egg and Cheese is.
You know how to properly negotiate a Circle.
You knew that the last question had to do with driving.
You know that this is the only "New..." state that doesn't require "New" to identify it (like, try...Mexico....York ...Hampshire -doesn't work, does it?).

You know that a "White Castle" is the name of BOTH a fast food chain AND a fast food sandwich.
You consider a corned beef sandwich with lettuce and Mayo a sacrilege.
You don't think "What exit" (do you live near?) is very funny.
You know that the real first "strip shopping center" in the country is Route 22.
You know that people from 609 area code are "a little different."(!!?)
You know that no respectable New Jerseyan goes to Princeton - that's for out-of-staters.
You live within 20 minutes of at least three different malls.
You can see the Manhattan skyline from some part of your town.
You refer to all highways and interstate by their numbers.
You know where every "clip" shown in the Soprano's opening credits is.
You've gotten on the wrong highway trying to get out of Willowbrook Mall.
You've eaten a Boardwalk cheese steak with vinegar fries.
You have a favorite Atlantic City casino.
You start planning for Memorial Day weekend in February.
And finally... You've never pumped your own gas. Thank God!
