Walmart Pics...

This is a skeleton doing the robot...It's funnier in person I suppose

Turkey Time...must be popular, only one was left on the shelves. It sang The Chicken Song using only "gobble gobble gobble" as the words. High praise indeed. Again, guess you had to be there.

After our 2nd preview in Indiana, we were invited to a very rich man's house in Wabash, the town we were in. His company is Honeywell Industries, who do all the meters for houses or something. They also do all the manhole covers all over the country. His house was huge and had an atrium down to the bottom floor...
















He also had an indoor pool.














He also just recently finished a waterfall in the middle of his property. The only way out there is on a golf cart ride in the woods. I'm not making this up.
















Houston-

is a very fun city. We flew into Dallas from Indianapolis on Saturday. After a quick layover, we got on our 45 minute flight to Houston. It was there that we met our bus, our "home" for the next 6 months. We drove to our hotel, and had all day off which was nice. Another trip to the Walmart brought 2 funny picture moments, pics to come soon.

We partied it up in Houston, going to Slick Willie's Family Pool Hall, a great pool bar with awesome tables. We had a few drinks there and took a cab back to the hotel where I went to a Jack in the Box for the 1st time. Only the drive-thru was open, but I lacked the necessary device of a car. With quick thinking, I saw an employee leaving in her car, and flagged her down and gave her the sob story about how I'm from NY, where they don't have any Jack in the Box's. I pleaded for her to get us some food, and she obliged. I made my way back to the room and drifted off to sleep.

Today we went drove to College Station Texas to Texas A&M Univ. Just hung out here pretty much all day, got some food, some Coldstone Creamery (Cookie Minster...yum). Then I started feeling sick. My allergies are awful, eyes all swollen, congested, feel like crap basically. Also my lips are insanely chapped, and hurt like crazy. It's been 70 degress all the time here in Texas, maybe the dry air is doing it? Discuss....

It's Opening Night.....

Well, it was last night. The show went really well with only one minor hiccup, but alls well that ends well. There was a party at a local restaurant around the corner with some good music and the always good, free drinks. Stuff gets shut down pretty early 'round these parts, so we continued the party at another bar....only it was 20 miles away. Luckily for me, I brought the new South Park Dvd's and popped one into our Dvd Minivan. I've never been so happy to ride in the backseat of a minivan of my life. I forgot how funny these episodes are to watch in a group of people, and I can honestly say I enjoy everyone I'm with so far. Well, kind of a free day off today, we have a show tonight, and then we load out, and fly to Houston tomorrow morning. Hopefully no Astros fans will be looking to jump off buildings when we arrive.

It was a big day....Sad that this actually made me excited, and gave me motivation to get through rehearsal. But I managed to get the new Grand Theft Auto game for my new PSP.

Things are going really well out here I must say. I miss home a bit, but I think this whole thing will turn out to be alot of fun. Of course I say that now, I'll probably be bitching when we're on a bus all day to the venue.

On other news, I got the best care package ever from Karen today. Had everything I like, damn is she good! Well, I'm off to work (pokerstars), then other work (Oklahoma). Later!

This is a picture of my setup in the pit....yes, i am a rockstar

Poker Stars is giving away money!!!

Well, not them really, but the idiotic players are giving their own money away. Get on there while the gettin's good!

How do I turn this damn bold off?

First day of rehearsal is in the books.

Had 6 hours of rehearsal today, and I thought it went really well. Great group of players in the group and they're all alot of fun. Which makes me really happy as I have to see them all for the next 6 months.

I don't know why this part is in bold, but I can't change it back. We had dinner at Ponderosa which is a steakhouse and a buffet. We had a good meal and went back to have the 2nd half of rehearsal. After rehearsal I got some snacks and checked some email. Simpson then challenged me to a heads up match for $5 on Pokerstars. I said no, but then agreed. He beat me real quick as I didn't put up much of a fight and made a lot of stupid calls when I knew I was beat.

My roomate Ira, who coincidentally has the same laptop I do, just with the one size bigger screen, and also plays online poker. What are the odds that I would be paired with someone like that? Anyways, he was multitabling on Pokerroom and I made some phone calls and such. I decided to play a $38 6 handed SNG where the top 2 cash. I finished 4th with no real exciting play. Just missed some draws and ran low on chips, pushing in with K4o on the button and the BB woke up with 88. I missed, and was out.

To make my buy-in back I logged a couple hours on the 1/2 NL tables, my bread and butter the past few weeks. I only played for 30 min on first table, made $28 and then people left and the game essentially broke.

I moved over to another table where while waiting to post my blind saw a guy get hit with the deck and make over $300 on 2 hands. I got KK 3x in 7 hands and made $110 from that player alone.

That's where I stand right now. Taradise was just on E! and I feel dumber having watched it. It's amazing I'm somehow winning at this game. The Outer Limits is on now, but time for bed soon. Thanks for reading, I'll put pictures up as soon as I take some!

Greetings from...Wabash...

You remember Wayne's World when they're doing the different cities and they say "Welcome To ...Dela...ware". But they have lifeless looks on their faces? Yeah, that's pretty much Wabash, Indiana. Literally, farms to the right of me, and soon to be farms behind me. Yup...that's how I roll apparently.

Got in today after flying from Islip to Baltimore, waiting 3 hours then flying to Indianapolis. Then a 98 minute car ride later, and here I am...in the middle of nowhere. Single tear...

Well, it's off to the first theater to set up my drums for rehearsal tomorrow. Expect pics of reeeal flat land and whatever funny stuff I can find later. Enjoy!

Long Time, No Type

Keep your eyes peeled on this page to see all the wonders of the Oklahoma National Tour. Pics, stories, Lost, and as much poker as I can play. Thank you to everyone who came last night to my going away party. You will all be missed!
