Johnny Rotten, Free Booze, And Very Little Poker


So, this past weekend was a blast!!

Friday night we hit up the Bodog showcase for Canadian Music Week at Healey's. What an event!! My girlfriend works for Bodog Music - Battle Of The Bands so we ended up with VIP Status which entailed free drinks for most of the night. But let me say, these guys go ALL OUT!

They had the place looking like it was a Movie Premier, with Red Carpet and all! It was very chique!!

Now, as for Johnny Rotten... Pfft... I'm all for the Sex Pistols, hell, they were one of my biggest influences for me and my band growing up as kids, but this guy is a huge dick!!!

I'm in the bathroom at one point during the night and in waltzes Rotten accompanied by his bodyguard, Rambo (and just for the record, I thought that to be an actual bodyguard you had to be a big guy? Nope... This guy was all of 5'5 & maybe 175lbs soaking wet).

So, they come up to me WHILE I'M TAKING A PISS and tell me to get the hell out of the washroom and start pushing me around. Now, the thought of simply turning around and pissing all over the both of them quickly entered my mind but I figured who'd be the one getting escorted out of the venue? Them or me? So, I refrained, mumbled something to them in my "semi-drunk" stage and left.

Other then that, the night was a total success! The only thing that I didn't like about the night was how much of an "industry party" it was. I mean, more guys in expensive suits who could care less about the music then I could handle. But, it was what it was, and we made sure to take full advantage of the free-flowing drinks and Bodog Girl!!

Saturday night we hit up friends of Jenn's for a party. Kind of a lame night as I was the DD so that I was able to pick up my buddy and his fiancee from the airport. Jenn had a great night which was totally awsome! And this guys place was the ultimate bachelor pad! Loft! VERY hip and modern! Nice blue lighting throughout the entire place. Kick ass patio! I'm telling you, if this guy had 1/2 a brain he'd be picking up chicks every night of the week! Unfortunately, it didn't look as though he had much game. A really nice guy but you all know what they say about nice guys!

So, Sunday came and went and I played NO poker at all. I was too hung over/tired to even concentrate on getting off the couch. Needless to say, it was a pretty lazy day.

So, now that the week is back, hopefully I'll be playing every night this week after work. I'm feeling very confident about my game right now and really want to get back to it. I'm hoping that this week I'll reach my goal with my Bankroll and I'll start playing the 180 Man's on PokerStars... We'll see what the Poker Gods think about that!

Cheers
