In the interest of full disclosure, I posted: "Hope to hit you with my
well thrown rock of anonymity this Jooone, you
whacked out katana wielding tarantula mounting chopped Honda clown."

Metaphors rock.

As do euphemisms such as "whacked out katana wielding tarantula
mounting chopped Honda clown" being a euphemism for "awesome dude I
find myself irresistibly attracted to". It's okay, I'm a doctor.

I'm going to do the card game a little different, Mr. V --- I'm probably
going to toss up a facebook page for event info, communications, photos
and the like -- as well as update posts here on the avlv -- date, time
and location included.

Entry will be limited to 30 "qualified"* players --- seats will go to
previous years players first and new comers will fill the remaining
seating. We're happy to have new players, novice players, expert
players, whatever. We're there for fun -- and a relatively cheesy bracelet!

*A "qualified" player can only be determined by the commissioner of the
event; me. The commissioner's decision will be final in regards to being
"qualified" to participate in the 2010 Pan-G poker tournament.

I hope you, and the misses if she plays, stop by. We had a lot of fun
last year. We even had a few first time ever players at a live table who
had a ball and hung into the game pretty deep.

The game will take place downtown --- I will say that much for a teaser.

as they say --- stay tooned!

I, too, would emphasize that "qualified" does not pertain to skill level, so
while it helps to have some experience, everyone is welcome to try their luck.
Even the best players need some luck to win a tournament.

Also, I have canceled the midnight shrimp-eating contest this year, so as not to
steal the spotlight from the other competitions as happened last year. <g>

Walt, as always, is absolutely correct on all counts.
