It’s late Wednesday night as I type this, and I had a rare night when I didn’t go out… wanted to take a night off to rest up for the weekend. I’m playing Full Tilt Poker… cleared my deposit bonus with PokerStars, and decided to try a different site to score another deposit bonus. Thanks to those of you who gave suggestions for best poker site. Several of you recommended online poker rooms with better graphical interface than PokerStars, but since I’m playing for real money, the main question I had was, which one has the worst players? I was told Full Tilt, and that appears to be true… playing the 10 cent/25 cent blinds, and the people on the Full Tilt tables at that level are nowhere skilled as the ones at PokerStars.
Anyway… on to a few announcements…
BRIDGES is doing a fundraiser at the Rumba Room this Saturday, March 14, from 3 to 6 PM. It’s a Zumbathon workout, but you don’t have to work out to participate… you’re welcome to just come hang out, support the cause, and drink mojitos. Minimum $5 suggested entry. Pyramid Bellydancing and the Memphis Zumba Performance team will do their thing there.
Bravo Memphis, the arts/networking group for professionals 21-40s, has an event this Friday at the Cannon Center. Be among the first to see world-renowned pianist Adawagin Pratt when he comes to Memphis. At 7:30 he’ll hold a special “come as you are” rehearsal performance, including the work of Brahms and a new piece by Joel Hoffman. Beforehand at 6:30 there will be a networking session and conversation with the composer, with free hors d’oeuvres and booze. Free to members, $10 for non-members.
Heard about another place that will be open early Saturday morning to accommodate the C-USA crowd – Sole Restaurant and Oyster Bar, across the street from FedExForum.
Busy night tomorrow (which is probably “today,” or Thursday, by the time most of you will read this). Tigers play in the tournament at 6 PM – leaning toward the Silly Goose as my preferred place to watch the game. I’ll probably get there at 5 to take advantage of their happy hour, and to make sure I have a good seat. After the game I’ll wander down the street to the Saucer, where the Dempseys play at 9:30.
Right now I’m going to play a few more hands of poker and get to bed.
