Round 6 will be held in Scotch Plains, NJ - here are some dates to consider (given the busy summer schedules):

August 20th - Yes, this is a Friday - Revlis, you can recover (from your 3 weeks off) with us. Also, Short you may be able to make this before your Asian trip.

September 10, 12: Friday or Sunday - Skipping Saturday only because jb will be a little late getting to the game (~ 8:30 pm). If you don't mind starting late and going past midnight, mrs.vt and i are game.

Let me know what works - if these dates don't work, I am open September 17 or 19.

Please post your preferences. Apart from the regulars, I definitely invite new players to join us (Also, one-timers - RawReds, Board-O, Jazins - please do speak up and make yourself available).

Saturdays are best for me. Have fun.

I like the idea of Friday, August 20.

btw - My trip to Asia will probably happen in early September. That's why I avoided the September proposed date(s).

august 20 probably works for me. what time would we start the game?

What would the women do?

August 20th is fine with me. It is the last day of my vacation week. We can start whatever time you guys like.

Ok, I should be good. :-) Someone call my house around 2 hours before showtime on Friday and I'll get my ass out of bed. :-)

rjs -

What do you mean by your question? I've read your post a couple times and still can't figure it out.

If my husband goes to play poker, what do the wives do? Or do they not show up?

drink alot of wine?

August 20th it is - we can start at 6 pm. So if you can be here by 5:30 pm, we can get the party started.

Attendees so far -

revlis (with a wake-up call at 3 pm)

Anybody else? If needed, mrs. vtyro will play as well.

All men, women and their significant others are welcome - come hang out, drink wine, eat food, chat, watch the game or play with the dogs. Whatever floats your boat.

vtyro

p.s.: Dogs (two very friendly German Shepherds) will be isolated from the playing area.

So far so good. I *may* have to be a bit late - to arrive by 5:30 I'd need to leave work close to 4pm. Probable during the summer months but not guaranteed.

Just a little bump - August 20th is set.

I will be out vacationing next week in Shenandoah Valley, VA - found a cottage that takes two German Shepherds!

Be back in a week - will post details and PM directions at that time.

vtyro

vinotyro: like we talked, we may stop by for a glass or 2 or 3 or... Thanks, will let you know!

If space still allows, my brother wants to play. And, I want to drink great wines. Let me know if it is OK for us to come over. And, wine(s) to bring. Thank You!

lcc

You and bro are absolutely welcome - more details to follow soon.

jb: Are kypinot and kdrexeng (just made this name up) still in? Let me know.

vtyro

I'll call him and find out.

Game is all set to begin on the 20th at 5:30 pm.

Confirmed players:

Short
Revlis

(the table can seat 8 - so two slots are open - also means more $$ in the pot!).

Confirmed drinkers:

All of the above + lcc (we need to suck him into the game as well - never a better time to learn the game!)

Directions have been PM-ed.

Wines have been chosen.

Unfair advantage has been offered to all players by the host (I will be taking a red-eye in that same morning so you can easily outlast me at Poker that night!).

jb: Let me know if you need directions from another location for K&K.

Most important: Please do bring glasses - I have 12 Speigs and they may not be enough for all - we are expecting at least 7, maybe up to 9 drinkers, hence the request. .

It will be a great evening ....

vtyro

kypinot and kevin are 90% in. I'll be able to confirm later tonight.
