I can't make it this weekend. I am still on weekends up at work..But, this is the last one..WOOHOO.. So, next Friday or Saturday would work for me.

 

[Hank Frankenberg]

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! Enjoy the blessings of living in our free country!

I'm targeting Friday, December 2nd for fajitas and poker at "Hank's Cafe Americain".

 

[Scott Oliver]

If we go on Friday I will have to come a little later, I have an event from 7-8, so I wouldn't be able to get there until about 8:30 probably. Saturday is clear however.

 

[Chad Anson]

Friday, Dec 2nd, sounds good for Pelan and I. Let us know what we can bring. Probably won't stay too terribly late since we're driving to Houston early the next day for the Big 12 championship game.

 

[Hank Frankenberg]

Okay, I see 3 replies:

Jeff B is in.
Tubes is in, but will arrive late.
Barrister is in, but will leave early.

Given that, and considering it's almost Thursday, I'm about to cancel :frowning: for the first time.

Don't tell me our group is into the "Holiday Party" committment scene this early.

What is it folks?

I'll make a couple of calls tomorrow to the non-participants on this forum (Shazam, Colton and Crazy Mike), but it's not looking good. :frowning:

 

[Leroy R]

Odd, I thought I had replied. I'll be there as soon as I can get there after work (7pm).

 

[Chad Anson]

Say it isn't so!

 

[Scott Oliver]

I talked to Stogels a couple of days ago and he said he would attend. Not sure why he hasn't posted yet. Steve post!

What about Nils? Jonathan? Any tried the Brothers Hayenga yet?

I just don't think people are watching this forum much anymore, so you need to email folks directly to get things going.

 

[Scott Oliver]

Still that would be six without anyone else able to make it. Six of eight seats filled ain't bad.

 

[Steve Stogel]

I can be there, but I'm going to have to scoot by midnight or so (Tam has to get up super early to go get some CE credits, so that means I'll be up early with the kiddos on Saturday...Tam would attend if not for her early day on Saturday).

See you guys tomorrow (I think).

[Nils Luehrmann]

I'll be making every attempt possible to attend tomorrow night.

 

[Jeff Blair]

Hank, could you shoot me an e-mail with directions. It's been too long for me. I'll have to get out of there by about 12 also. They didn't change the shifts up here when I thought they would.

 

[Hank Frankenberg]

Okay, it's on. Whew! - a close call. This has to be a record for last minute sign-up.

The suspects:

Leroy is in
Jeff B is in
Tubes is in, but will arrive late
Barrister is in, but will leave early
Shazam is in
Shazam's son is in
Stogels is in (uh-oh, a pro!)
Colton is in
Nils is a probable
Hank

If everyone shows, we may have some rotation going on. Music listening or movie watching for those rotated out.

We'll need to fold at midnight - I've got a 9:00AM rehearsal Saturday morning (cruelty indeed). You'll all be at my concert Sunday afternoon as usual, right?:

H.E.B., here I come.

 

[Scott Oliver]

Hank thanks for hosting, enjoyed it. Well except for watching my hands go down in flames on the river over and over again.



P.S. Sorry about my out of line comment on your Outlaw, I apologize. My bloodlevel was bit high at the time due to the poker beatings I had taken a shorttime before. Anyhow just differnt levels and perspectives.

I am itching to host some poker over here again. Would there be any interest for something on Saturday the 17th? We could do eggnog!

 

[Nils Luehrmann]

Thanks Hank! I needed the break, and was great seeing everyone (when I was able to keep my eyes open)... and those marvelous fajitas!

That was also one of the easiest cashouts to figure out with Chad the Barrister and I ending the game with nearly identical chip stacks of ~$3,500. Although we still don't know how the coins made their way into the pot... but we gave them a nice comfortable new home. It will be up to Hank to figure out where we put them though.

Once again, thanks for another great poker night!

 

[Hank Frankenberg]

As usual I was happy to host and cook fajitas for the crowd. The poker was good for quite a while anyway, as I was accumulating the lion's share of the chips, then got caught up in that male pride thing and went nearly all in with 3 queens, but Stogels sneaked up on me with a straight and I went down in flames and only partially recovered. At least I didn't have to re-buy.

Scott - no hard feelings - you merely stated your personal opinion and I can certainly accept that. Our equipment is bought with an eye towards affordability at the time of purchase and I certainly could not afford the esoteric brands at the time I dived into pre/pro land. I'll upgrade eventually (Outlaw has a brand new unit that's supposed to be high performance).

Saturday, Dec 17th? Speaking for me, I'll probably be able to do it - I'll check calendars. "Do" eggnog? Do you mean you do homemade egg nog?

 

[Hank Frankenberg]

Oops! Saturday the 17th I'll be in Ft. Worth at my daughter Holly's graduation from TCU. She'll be an RN and employed full-time!

Tubes: tomorrow evening at 7:00, some of us from the Wurst Band will be playing at The Posse East, like this time last year when we met beforehand at that South American restaurant. If you and the Mrs are available, maybe we could meet for beverages or whatever.

[Jeff Blair]

I was wondering if we were still on for tomorrow?

 

[Steve Stogel]

Sorry for the lack of a response. I won't be able to make it tomorrow, Tubes. Sorry. We're going out of town for Christmas, and I've got a lot of pages to get done before I can leave.
