Girl Talk TR+ Poker things

thebigeasy59 I just realized that I forgot to write a Trip report for the Girl Talk concert that was at my school about 3 weeks ago. Let me start off by saying that this was a promotion put on all across Canada that involved the student body of every college and university in Canada voting on Facebook and Twitter to get a concert on campus for free. One of the conditions was that there would not be liquor served, which is fucking stupid. The concert started at 8 pm with The Stills opening, followed by K-OS, and finally Girl Talk. I started drinking at about 3PM, so as to be sufficiently shitfaced by the time Girl Talk hit the stage at ~10:30-11 PM.

Needless to say, my plan went through to perfection, as I drank an entire quart of Canadian Club by the time we left. Based on what people are telling me, there was a station in which you could get a picture taken with inflatable guitars and such, immediately inside the concert setting. I was obviously blacked out at this point; so much so that I completely forgot that I'm right-handed, as witnessed by me holding this guitar backwards.



By the time K-OS shut his stupid mouth and got the hell off my stage, I was ready for Girl Talk, and decided that there was nothing that was going to stop me from being at the very front of the crowd. After politely finagling my way towards the front of the room, I accidentally bumped in to a girl who gave me the dirtiest of looks. While I don't remember the exact conversation that we had, she continued to get mad at me as I obnoxiously took pictures of EVERYTHING with my cell phone on the terrible choppy camera that is built in. Zero of these pictures turned out, and I knew in advance that this would be the case, and I certainly verbalized this to her. After she pointed out that she "didn't give a fuck" I finally decided that I was going to slowly ruin this girls' night since she was being a snotty beotch for no real reason.

I explained to my roommates that I had a real snotjob to my 9-oclock and asked for everyone to try to remember everything I say so that they can re-tell the story later when I'm sober. I begin by asking her if she wanted to be in a picture for the 10th time. She said no. Then I asked if she would get her friend to snap a picture of the two of us. She said no. Then I asked if she wanted to hang out after the concert. She said no. Then I asked if I could snap a picture again. She politely ordered me to leave her the fuck alone. This went on for another 10 minutes or so, until I told her that she'd make more friends if she wasn't such a twit. I left her alone for a minute, but then came back and got my roommate to snap a picture of us.


She almost punched my roommate in the face.

Girl Talk was fucking awesome by the way, and if anybody ever gets a chance to see him, it's absolutely worth every penny and then some.


Haven't played much poker since I last wrote, but I made a final table on Sunday, taking 3rd in the giant $2 turbo on stars. This was my first final table on stars ever, other than a small one that I made on turbo night a couple months ago. I hardly ever play on stars, since it just seems cursed or something, but I happened to get deep in everything I played on stars on Sunday, cashing in 4/5 tourneys. Too bad for me that I swapped 50% of everything I played on stars with a friend, and he happened to brick everything. kaihdsf;ojad;fj.

I have 2 classes left in the semester, then 3 exams between now and the 12th. I'm also heading to a Dane Cook show this coming weekend, and am hoping to get some time in at the Casino that's just down the street from the venue, for a little bit of live 1-2 NL action, but it doesn't look like I'll be playing a ton online between now and then.

I'm pretty excited to be done school for a little while and just playing poker everyday. I'm planning on sticking in a ton of volume, mostly 90 man's on FTP. I'm going to be at my parents' house from the 14th until Jan 4th-ish, and other than Christmas and New Years, I'm going to have a pretty empty schedule for the entire Christmas break, so as long as I can stay motivated to grind every day/night I should be able to either bust my entire account or make some decent moneys. I'm intentionally waiting as long as possible to accept my Holiday bonus from ftp, since I'm hardly putting in any volume until school is finished with. Conversely, once school is done and I have nothing important left to do, I'm planning on being up all night and crushing idiots. I have plans to do a 24hr mtt session with a few forum friends, so I'll likely document that here whenever that happens. I'll be sure to include judgments that I get from my parents and siblings, who have no idea that I have the ability of playing any more than 2 tables at once, nor do they understand that putting in decent volume doesn't make me a degen gambling addict, since I'm almost the exact opposite, given that I'm a huge nit with money. Fuck families are retarded.
