Andy and I were coming up with a plan for the weekend and decided that a Texas Tech vs. Texas game watching party and then poker to immediately follow would be the best course of action.
As far as the game goes, it’s on ABC with a 2:30pm kick-off. So, those of you not making the trip to Austin to watch the game can come over around 2ish. The food situation: bring whatever you want to eat or drink. If you’ll be grilling please bring the necessary things in which to do that with, we won’t be providing food this time. The grill will definitely be on, though.
For the poker game we thought it would be a good plan to have that start somewhat close to the end of the Tech game with any number of other college games going on in the background, preferably a Big 12 matchup.
See you all Saturday. As always, call if you need directions or have any other questions.

My brother arrives in Dallas today for his visit back to the States for the first time in nearly two years. I’m pumped to get out of Lubbock, but not away from Katie of course, on Sunday to visit for a few days back home. Also, anyone in the Dallas area that wants to get together for a poker night then set it up and let me know where to be, I’ll be in town from 7:30am on 9/23 until 8:20pm on 9/26.

Observations or stuff that has happened lately in no particular order:
I proposed to Katie on Aug. 21 and a date is set for June 21 ‘08.
One of my current doctors is the least PC adult I’ve met in a long time and it’s hilarious.
Raider Awakening is a little over six weeks away.
Brian is moving back to Texas but, instead of Lubbock he will be in Dallas. Finally!
Tech beat SMU 49-9.
Andy makes some freakin’ awesome ribs.
My brother is now Br. Peter Jesse Bares, Peter being his monastic name.
Rehab sucks. However, I am told I am progressing quite well.
I’ve hit a bit of a snag in poker lately having a bad run of nasty beats over the last month or so.
Katie and I registered at Bed Beth & Beyond, Sears, and Target this weekend. It was exhausting.
I’m doing my best to keep cheerful about my work situation.
I will be able to play football/volleyball/ultimate frisbee again in about three and half months.
I am most definitely enjoying the new iPod I bought last week even though Apple came out with new versions of all their iPods today.
Three weeks from now I will be visiting Dallas to see my brother in his first trip back to the States in almost two years.
This Saturday will be the first Tech home game in eight or nine months when the Miners from El Paso show up to get stomped by the Red Raiders.

I had heard about these four colored poker cards for a while now and had thought they looked cool so I finally decided to order some. They are made by Modiano Cards and are 100% plastic. This means that if they get anything on them you can wipe them clean with a damp cloth and they won’t degrade. I ordered two sets, each set having two decks, one blue back and one red back. As you can see the diamonds are blue and clubs are green. It will help distinguish the difference in suits and plus they just look freakin’ cool. The next time we have a poker night with two tables then there will be two four color decks at each table to be used. Be there!

The weekend started early with Andy’s bachelor party at Chris and I’s house on Thursday night. He was genuinely surprised to see both a gas grill and a wood burning smoker sitting on the back porch for him wrapped in rainbow colored ribbon and big pink bows. We had a great group of guys over for some beer, fajitas, super burgers, and poker. Along with country music and Guitar Hero, we also watched Rounders in the background while playing poker.

Recently I had been wanting to get some new poker chips since all of my friends, myself included, seemed to have the same kind of chips and when we had big games we would easily get each other’s mixed up and it would take forever to separate them at the end of the night, which usually is pretty late. I decided I would look online for some good deals on chips and a new case to house them in. I went with a 500 chip case and filled it with some casino grade clay chips that look like the picture above. I found them online for a very inexpensive price at PokerChipsDepot and they arrived early this morning. I’m pumped and can’t wait for the first chance to use them, it’ll be great.
