High-stakes, highway slap poker
As you may have been able to discern from the title of this post, we are on our way bck at this point. Joseph, Taylor, Trevor, Brian, Mike Hambone, and myself are flying 75 miles an hour down the highway as I write this. Alot happened on the trip, but sadly I was rarely in a position to write about it, either being incapacitated or not near the computer. To sum up the trip, a much more relaxed experience than our Winter Exploits, but fun nonetheless.
The aforementioned title of this section concerns what might possibly be the single greatest invention of car-riding history: Highway Slap Poker invented by Joseph and Trevor. The premise: Texas Hold ‘Em, with slaps on the hand as bets. Hours of fun for the whole family. It probably doesn’t sound like much, but when two people go head-to-head with 15 slaps on the line in a car full of blood-thirsty boys, things get exciting.
Showcase went well, albeit for a almost non-existant audience. That has been the most frusterating part of this whole experience. I thought the show itself was very well acted - a bit slow, perhaps - but overall quite solid and pride-worthy. Doing it primarily for VCU alumni though, while nice, is certainly not what I intended rehearsing every week, paying hundreds of dollars, and experience frusteration like no other sometimes.
I will recount certain things later.
