Saturday night might be doable!
I can come grab you and drop you off should Lazy be unable to attend.  I can also give Darren a ride home after, as well, should he be able to attend.

Confirmed, I can make it.

Since HD lives downtown it should be no problem for my brother and I to take the bus there... And as long as we leave by about 11:30pm we could take the bus home, if there isn't room in the UstaukMobile. We'll play it by ear I guess, depending on if Lazy is coming etc.

See you Saturday 8)

My girlfriend is coming on Saturday, so I may have to run her home and come back for the Darren, Darren's brother, and Mr. A.  See you guys on the morrow!

Ironic words above, considering how well my "horseshoe" was working on Saturday ;)

Thanks for an awesome hosting job, HD, sorry I didn't post my TY at the usual 2am-the-same-day but I had kids being dropped off the next morning ;) Oh, and sorry for all the Hollywood/slowrolling ... normally I'm not such an ass. ::)

btw for those who want to improve their Pokerese skills:

The Official Dictionary of Poker (by Michael Wiesenberg)

"the first comprehensive and authoritative compilation of poker terminology ever published"
http://www.poker1.com/mcu/pokerdictionary/mculib_dictionary_info.asp



e.g.
http://www.poker1.com/mcu/pokerdictionary/mculib_dictionary_h.asp
Hollywood
1. (n) Acting. "Quit the Hollywood; we know you've got the Holy City." 2. (adj) In a showoff manner. When a player has only a few chips left, and someone bets him $1000, knowing that he can't call even 1% of that bet, that's a Hollywood move. 3. (v) Act; ham it up. "Don't Hollywood me. If you're gonna bet, do it; otherwise just show down your hand."



http://www.poker1.com/mcu/pokerdictionary/mculib_dictionary_s.asp
slow roll
(n phrase) The practice by some players, at the showdown, when they have the best hand, of waiting till the last possible moment before showing that hand. This is usually done for one of three reasons: to see everyone else's cards first, to needle one or more of the active players, or just out of pure orneriness.

slow-roll
(v) To knowingly have the best hand at the showdown but expose it only after the losers' hands are shown, leading another player to think he has the winning hand. See slow roll.


(much of the Wikipedia entry is based on that, but of course the actual dictionary is far more comprehensive)
