16 descended upon the lovely Giles residence in the hills of Regency for a poker night to remember. Vegan and non-Vegan snacks were provided. Beverages of various types were brought in by select Pax.

The game – two tables of 8 pax each. One of them was Tamara’s prized dining room table which was treated with appropriate care. Pax were randomly assigned to a table and a seat. One table seemed to have the more serious poker players, plus a wild card who kept busting them up and putting them on tilt.

Blinds increased very rapidly and steeply to keep things moving, which was both scorned and appreciated.

As the night wore on, the cream rose to the top with most of the names you expected to be there making the final table (except for Kiffin, who went out early despite a re-buy). High drama with many all-in moments. Down to the final 4 of Term, Astro, Augmented and Hermes. Out goes TP at the hands of the host and then down went that same HIM at one of the remaining two players. Not a single heads up hand was played as Astro quickly motioned to call it done and split up the winnings. Augmented with 2x the chips threw his weight around and suggested a $380 vs $100 split, which was rejected. After upping the offer to $360 and $120 the deal was sealed and two Pax went home monetary winners. But really…all who attended won.

Could highlights…
-term coming over to table two with exasperated updates on bad beats at his table
-oofda complaining about a bunch of recyclables that ended up in the trash can.
-laloosh doing laloosh things
-learning that there are both bosswood and boxwood cts in Cary
-Astro busting up Amway on another venue
-Buncha pax staying up hours past their bedtime

Well done, Hermes!

Despite the fact we were deep in CARPEX territory, we did a very South Cary thing and had an excellent 2nd F at Komana Brewing Company for beers, and kombucha. We sat outside enjoying the wonderful weather and avoided the childrens karaoke, mostly. The walls are a touch thin.

Fun little 2ndF dinner at MacGregor Downs. While YHC was the one who put the initial dinner idea out there, it was really all Captain Jack who pulled it together. Good food and conversation. Spotted Nabisco and Denali with their families. It was agreed that we need to do more of this sort of thing.

6 for Sassool (well, 5 for Sassool and 1 for fellowship). Thanks to Grisham’s M, we all have an updated stance on cagefree eggs. Great to see everyone.

5 crossed boundary lines and met at Apex Cigar Lounge for some fellowship. While Phil Ford did not show up, I made sure to retell my Phil Ford story a few times. Enjoyed the conversation and chance to puff puff pass with those who attended.

9 Pax joined for bourbon night at WebMD’s place while the M had fled the country. Bourbon was shared. Great fellowship for all. Sausage provided by Shipyard. Stayed indoors due to the brittle cold outside. 0630 will come early tomorrow for all committed runners.

Let’s do it again soon!
