Friday Night Poker

Yes, you read that correctly. We played poker on Friday night this week. On Thursday, we saw Karen Rontowski at Acme Comedy Club to celebrate Ed and Rob's birthdays. They have a great birthday deal - 6 free passes during the month of your birthday. It was a fun show and we even got our drinks before the first act was over, a special bonus.

Friday night Smeeta came to town and we played poker at Dave's house. Nick continued his winning streak, coming in first again this week, while I continued to suck, going out second. We had a lot of people though (14) so two more people went out pretty quickly after me and we played our own special second game: $1 buy-in, winner take all. Janelle managed to clean up in that game and take all our money. In the third game, we had 10 players and I managed to hold on for second, losing out to Sergei. So it was a fun night and Nick and I are coming out way ahead for poker so far in 2007.

As for our Superbowl party - I know I haven't mentioned it much yet; that's because I have a couple of pictures I want to post and I've been too lazy to get them off the camera. But we had a great time. There were 24 people, most of whom spent the entire time crammed in our living room. Almost everyone was cheering for Indy, although there were a few Bears fans among us. The commercials were a bit subpar, but the turnovers kept the first half of the game interesting. Finally, unlike last year, all the broccoli I set out was eaten. So yay to perseverance (both me and Peyton)!
