The Allman Brothers concert was amazing last Saturday. My buddy got tickets in the 20th row for three of us. He gets them right before the show…Monday to be exact…and then picks them up at the box office before we go in. This saves a ton on shipping charges and all the other charges they slap on concert tickets.  Some funny stuff happened at the concert before and during the show. We saw this guy in the parking lot try to use stilts. The guy must have got them from a friend that plasters or does some sort of construction. Speaking of plastered…the guy pulls circus act and tries to launch himself up on stilts from the trunk of a car. Everybody in the parking lot is watching while Tail-Gaiting, grilling, and drinking. He falls almost flat on his face…then he gets on his hands and knees and starts to crawl. This is too hard to explain how funny this looked especially since he still had the stilts on as he tried to crawl away. Fucking Hilarious!  Before the concert we made a bet on what song is going to be played first. I pulled one out that they may or may not even play…”I pick ‘Where it all Begins’….my buddy Joe picks “Southbound…they play it all the time”…..not this time! My other buddy who went with us picks next…”I pick Statesboro Blues!” he says triumphantly…he never goes to Allman Bros concerts. He thinks that KISS is the best band ever….REALLY! I mean I like KISS but I’m all set after seeing them 5 times in my life (in case your wondering why has Dave seen KISS 5 times…well…my buddy would always get free tickets so I decided to go…he would usually drive so I could get plastered and have a good time). Well anyway, the opening jam takes place and the house starts to rock….then the first song breaks in…it’s ‘Statesboro Blues’. Dumb luck I say…Dumb luck. Good call J-Man. During the concert a funny thing happened. We where jumping around and dancing (whatever you want to call it….drunk grooving is probably more like it) and this lady behind us starts sort of grooving with us…she wants to get in on the fun that we’re having. She had a friend with here who was sort of in disbelief….that’s what it looked like to me anyway. So this chick/lady is having a great time….and I have to say was a very good looking lady. She starts hitting on us. Asking all sorts of questions like “how old are you”…etc. Come to find out she has three kids! Then she sort of announces…”Hey I just got a divorce!” Nothing happened….but why didn’t stuff like this happen ten years ago? It could have been the premise for a porn movie. Anyway, after the concert ends and the lights go on it was awkward to say the least. We had a good time…she had a good time…and that’s all. Move over SoaP!(Snakes on a Plane)…..the new idea/script for a movie is here…..HobaM! (Hit on by a MILF! (You know what that acronym stands for!)). The band was on top it's game as usual...i've never seen a bad Allman Bros. show but they are just the best touring band around. They seriously need to get Derek Trucks into the studio to create some new/classic slide guitar for their songs. Who knows...maybe even a classic LP or double-CD worth of Allman jammy-goodness.


I played the WWdN : The Hunting Fish Invitational   last night and got sucked out on to go out 20th. I was making my move to push for the final table. I get Qx-Qx in early position. I raised 4XBB (seems to have been the going rate) to commit myself to the hand…there was a guy ‘bloser2’ who went all-in over the top also in early position right after me. Everybody folded and I called all-in. He has 9x-9x and is in deep trouble right? No PokerStars turns into RiverStars and he gets his third nine to make a full house with two fours on the board. Yay…I miss the bad beats! I’ve been laying some bad beats on some other players in tourneys lately so my bad-beat karma caught up with me…but I’ll take that kind of play any day.  I also got careless on Party Poker…careless with their 40.00 bonus. I was bored after playing 150 hands or so. I caught an ace on the board when I had Ax-Qx for a hand. I went all-in and was called by mister Kx-Kx…with a K on the board. Goodbye bonus! Bad play by me. There is also a 15.00 dollar bonus on Empire Poker of all places…let’s see if I can run that one up and cash out. Just stay away from questionable hands and I’ll be fine. I just don’t know if I have the patience for the NL ring games. I seem to have patience in abundance when I’m playing a tournament though. I’ll have to re-evaluate my play on NL25 tables. I also tried a HORSE sit’n’go on Stars last night. I busted out 9th of 18 but I have to admit…it was fun. It was very low cost so I’ll stick to those while I try to get better at those types of games. Once in a great while I’ll try a 10-24.00 Stud or Omaha tourney but not often. I’m going to have to really buckle down on my Thursday night bar league. There’s 3 weeks to go and I think I may have been knocked out of contention for the final Top-Ten tourney….unless I start to really kick ass. Just lookin’ for some good clean fun.
