Texas Holdem

Hung out with the boys again, and we played a crapton of poker. Three games, in fact. We started around 8PM and I ended up leaving somewhere around 1:30AM. Good stuff, and loads of fun.

Will threw down an impressive amount of beer. I got to meet the infamous upstairs neighbors. Hung out in the stairwell with Will, and talked about smoking and clove cigarettes. I got to chat a bit more with Melanie (Mel), who lives downstairs (Ben, Jess and Mel are all old friends with Chris, Will and Eric). She and I talked a bit about Tarot cards, as she’s read a lot about Tarot cards and has done a lot of readings; I, for my part, own the Vertigo Tarot (bought it out of admiration for Dave McKean’s work). But other than picking it up from time to time, I can do little more than admire it.

At the end of the night, I lost two games and won one. So that left me $5 ahead overall. Fun way to spend a relaxing Friday evening… gambling with friends.
