In like flynn!

[fusion]

I'm in

[Nash]

The only way I won't be there is if I'm dead!

[Matt D.]

Can I give Andy $20 and play a second hand?

[ABV]

I'm in.

I think we should split up the pot a bit though, depending on how many people are there. If only a few people play, than yeah, give it all to the winner. But if we have more than say, 5 people, then I think it should be split up.

[v8klla]

I'm in, and I could get some more people too if you want...

Chris

[fusion]

Any more than 10-12 people (2 tables) and you will have to set some sort of timelimit.

Although I hope that doesn't have to happen

[Nash]

If there are alot of people we will have to have a few tables. I think we should draw cards to see what table you should go to. Then every hour we have a short break, raise the blinds, and draw cards again for a new table to sit at.

[MATCHBX]

I have the kitchen table that can seat atleast 5-6, plus a card table that can seat at least 4. If anyone else has a card table they can bring with them, do it. I will be going to my mother's house tonite so i can look there as well. I think she has a few also.

[v8klla]

I have a poker table top, which will allow 8 people to sit at one table. It has chip holders and cup holders too. Don't have any chairs though... I do have cards and a few hundred bicycle chips.

So should I get some more people or are we good?

Chris

[MATCHBX]

How many more are we talking?

Will that table top sit on top of a card table? I am going to try to find the leaf for the kitchen table so we can fit more people in there.

[v8klla]

Yeah it sits on any table, and I can get up to 5 more if you want...That is if they aren't busy.

Chris

I think we have 6-7 confirmed players with 2-3 maybes. I would say Ok. We have enough room for about 15 or so in the house. Our place is kinda small but most of us will be around tables most of the night. If we had a quiet, powerful space heater, we could setup some tables in the garage. But I don't really see that happening.

[SuperSleeper]

I will now be there. Nash, you're not gonna get my money as easy this time around...

What time is the earliest we can show up?

[MATCHBX]

Anytime after 5:30pm is fine. I will be home around that time. Terina usually gets home a little earlier than that but I don't want to take the chance.

[Jana]

Ok, sounds good!! I just wanted to make sure I didn't show up to early. I'm not sure if I will head straight there, or head to the shop and pick up AJ first. Either way, see you tomorrow night!! :toast:
