If anyone needs a ride to my house, speak up now. Hopefully some of you can carpool. If you need my address/directions send me a PM.

I'll be dropped in. Is the LZ hot?

@BoH, the plans sound perfect. Let's stick to them.

Are we starting trivia at 8, regardless of whether we have everyone there?

Trivia/Poker night was epic. Too tired/busy with the con to post details. Unless someone beats me to it, I'll get details and pictures up some time in the next few days.

In brief:

Dino took down the trivia game with Dr. Solar in second(and yours truly in third).

The poker tournament was officially won by Warren Simons, with Unknown Tales in second. They chopped the pot to bring the game to an end (at 2:00am), but played one heads up hand to decide 1st and 2nd place. I came in 3rd, and honorable mention goes to Depluto Jr. who came in a very close 4th. That kid is wise beyond his years and is one sharp card player!

Stay tuned...

Dino did place a strong second last year in the trivia game.

Poker night was great fun, BoH and his wife were fantastic hosts and it was nice meeting so many of the guys. Interesting and fun company .. I'll be doing this again for sure.

I brought my kid along so he would have a vacation to remember, and he is definitely going to remember his first try at poker, haha. He was pretty impressed with the group and how cool everybody was.

Dino knew that the way to beat me was to let me beat myself.

It's possible that I gained as many points as Dino, I just managed to lose a bunch of points as well.

As always.

Knowing full well that I get the answers wrong nearly as often as I get them right, Dino was egging me on to chime in on every question.

I didn't play poker but I had a super great time. EVERYONE and I mean EVERYONE was a pleasure to be around and talk to that night.

I was especially impressed with depluto's son.
