play poker for art [for my Seattle-area readers]
by huge on Mar.18, 2010, under Poker
Sorry for the late notice, but … I will be the tournament director for another fundraiser for the Nebunele theatre company tomorrow (Friday March 19), and most of Team Huge will make up the dealer staff. This will be the third year we’ve run a tournament for them, and it has always been a lot of fun (can you say “scantily-clad massage/rebuy-babes”?). If you can make it tomorrow, even if you just want to come and watch to see what all this poker tournament stuff is like up close, please come and support a good cause. Here are the event details:
It’s that time again. Get out your flapper duds, ’cause on Friday, March 19, Nebunele will be holding its 3rd Annual Poker Party Fundraiser!
Once more at the excellent, jewelicious, hidden-away Beacon Hill Arts Center. World-class poker pro Laurence Hughes is once again at the helm for a night of tournament thrills and spills; and if you’re not so much for the heart-pounding adrenaline of pushing your stack of chips into the middle of the table and holding your breath, you can come for the cocktails, the music, the party, and the good time in fine clothes.
All proceeds will benefit Nebunele Theatre’s brand-spankin’-new collaborative theatre project: Friend’s Enemy. If you liked Cussing at the Moon, please come out to help us make the next crazy, exciting, whatever-it-is theatre experiment. Be one of the people who makes the art happen and some of the first to know what it’s gonna be. We will, as usual, love you forever.
The poker tournament will be No-Limit Texas Hold’Em (just like you see on TV), with a $20 entry fee and unlimited (optional) rebuys for the first hour. Never played poker but wanna try? We <3 beginners! There will be a rules and strategy tutorial before the tournament starts – be sure to get there by 7:30 if you want to join the tutorial.
Friday, March 19
Party starts at 7:00pm
Lesson/strategy session 7:30
Tournament play begins at 8:00

Come looking good! Extra bonus points (and some extra attention from a sexy Massage Babe) if you come dressed in your 1920’s Gangster best.
This party is a private party. You are part of the special in-crowd who gets invited to our more exclusive events. Please *do* spread the word to all your personal friends who are over 21 and will enjoy this, and please *don’t* forward to public lists.
