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.\u00a0 Yesterday afternoon I went with two friends to Central BBQ in Midtown.\u00a0 As we dined on the outside patio, we noticed a number of pigeons hanging out under the roof.<\/p>\n

The food is so good at Central BBQ that the line often stretches out the door.\u00a0 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.<\/p>\n

You’ll notice that there is a statue of an owl, put there to keep the pigeons away.\u00a0 It did absolutely no good.\u00a0 At one point there was even a pigeon sitting on top of the owl.<\/p>\n

Food was great.\u00a0 I had a full order of the spicy dry rub wings that I tried at the BOM party Thursday night – absolutely delicious.\u00a0 My friends loved the BBQ beef and the sausage.\u00a0 We had a pitcher of New Belgium Hoptoberfest with our food.\u00a0 A fun afternoon… definitely worth the car trip to Midtown.<\/p>\n

Still in the poker tournament.\u00a0 A total of 2140 people bought in for $11, with the game beginning at 11 and late registration ending at 12.\u00a0 There are 1202 players left as of 12:55 PM.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 Not sure I’ll make it to the money though.\u00a0 I’ve been getting crummy cards and am down to half my original stack.\u00a0 I’m gonna have to make some big moves to have a fighting chance.<\/p>\n

One of the other players at my table had Colonel Reb as his player icon.\u00a0 I quickly decided I hated him.\u00a0 He made a stupid all-in call and got eliminated.\u00a0 Donkey.\u00a0 Sorry that I couldn’t have been the one to take him out.<\/p>\n

Wishing I was at Sunday Fun Day though.\u00a0 If my luck doesn’t turn around I may be up there sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
