I started at the Blind Bear tonight, where I talked to owner/poker guy Jamie. They plan on having a “St. Valentine’s Day Massacre” 1920s gangster/flapper party at 9 Valentine’s Day. I asked about poker, which normally starts at 8. He said if enough people would commit to playing, he’d start at 7. “I’ll have to increase the blinds a little faster than usual,” he said. He offered to compensate by giving anyone who dresses in gangster/flapper attire for poker an extra point toward the poker league. Poker regulars: He’s asking for feedback on whether you’d be able to play at 7. Message him on Facebook. Winner gets a $50 bar tab and league points.
In other news: The Roasted Poblano Pepper Chicken soup is back on the Soup of the Day menu at Bardog. This is a very good idea. I’m eating it right now (Paul’s Drunkass Food). If you’re lucky it will survive onto tomorrow’s menu.
