FOFC Atlanta Poker Game--Attempt #2

[Ben E Lou]

Alright fellas, we're going to Columbus for Thanksgiving, but coming back the day after for the high school football playoffs. SWMBO is leaving for Carolina on that Friday afternoon to spend the weekend with her parents. (I'm off the hook, since we're spending almost a week there over Christmas.) Point being, I have the house to myself with not much to do on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. I know that might be a horrible day for some, but for others who remain around town for the holiday, it might be a good time. Let me know if there is any interest.

I will be in town and SHOULD be able to leave the wifey for the night. I'm interested, but will have to see what the weekend plans are (I know my sister-in-law) will be in town, but more than likely I won't have to be involved in any plans they have.

Sounds like the girls need to go shopping at all the sales.

We're rooting for you on this point.

I won't be able to make it. Between numerous relatives of my fiancee being in town for the holiday, and me breaking my lease at my apartment as of Dec 1 and thus moving/cleaning up, I have a feeling that is going to be a very busy weekend.

Very good point Sam, because the odds are, whatever the plans are, that he doesn't want to be involved.

I'm heading home for the holiday, and won't be back til Sunday night. I'd love to go, but alas, can't. Keep me posted if there's a different date.

I'd imagine I'll be able to host one on the Saturday after Christmas as well. I'll be coming home on that Friday morning (12/26), but the wife will be staying up there through the weekend to spend time with her best friend from back home. I always get out of holidays in NC a little early, and it will likely stay that way as long as her friend remains unmarried. I'd imagine at some point I'll have to stay for "couples time," but for now I get to come home.

You guys read my mind.

Sheesh, SD, check your calendar!

I'm out, I'll be at Georgia-Georgia Tech.

I hear ya.

I'm lucky. My wife only has one sibling, a brother. He quotes Fletch and Monty Python all the time, and likes to go bass fishin'. Talk about getting a great deal!

I thought that was an afternoon game. It is at night?

[RPI-Fan]

Also be home for that holiday SD.

Thanks, though. I'm sure we'll get something together at some point.

The GT and UGA websites both have it still listed as 'TBA' - I dont' see it starting any earlier than 3:30, though - and that'll wipe me out the rest of the night from celebrating, so no dice.

LOL. The Dawgs will be leading by 3TD's by halftime anyway, so what's the prob???

[vtbub]

Yeah, Tech isn't playing Duke.

CRAP! You're right!

I have tickets to that game too, so I'm out for poker. Me and my buddies will be spending the night at somebody's house all s-faced.

And Celeval, there will be no celebrating for you.

[Ben E Lou]

Never mind then...Sounds like I'll watch the Dawgs dismantle North Avenue Technical School while playing FOF 2004, and taking time out to cook a fat steak on the grill.

That's why we'll win. :-) We play so much better (Auburn, Maryland, Wake, NC State, Florida State) when we're supposed to lose than when we're supposed to win (Clemson, Duke).
