Part of my responsibility as a Downtown blogger is to post pigeon pics now and then, even if I have to go outside of Downtown to get them. Yesterday afternoon I went with two friends to Central BBQ in Midtown. As we dined on the outside patio, we noticed a number of pigeons hanging out under the roof.
The food is so good at Central BBQ that the line often stretches out the door. Be careful when you get within about 3 feet of the door, though, and be sure to look up, or you might have a very crappy experience.
You’ll notice that there is a statue of an owl, put there to keep the pigeons away. It did absolutely no good. At one point there was even a pigeon sitting on top of the owl.
Food was great. I had a full order of the spicy dry rub wings that I tried at the BOM party Thursday night – absolutely delicious. My friends loved the BBQ beef and the sausage. We had a pitcher of New Belgium Hoptoberfest with our food. A fun afternoon… definitely worth the car trip to Midtown.
Still in the poker tournament. A total of 2140 people bought in for $11, with the game beginning at 11 and late registration ending at 12. There are 1202 players left as of 12:55 PM. The last 306 standing are in the money, with payouts starting at $16.05 for 306th place and going all the way up to $3,424 for first place. Not sure I’ll make it to the money though. I’ve been getting crummy cards and am down to half my original stack. I’m gonna have to make some big moves to have a fighting chance.
One of the other players at my table had Colonel Reb as his player icon. I quickly decided I hated him. He made a stupid all-in call and got eliminated. Donkey. Sorry that I couldn’t have been the one to take him out.
Wishing I was at Sunday Fun Day though. If my luck doesn’t turn around I may be up there sooner rather than later.
