What if they threw a poker tournament and nobody came? True Story. - GoFuckYourself.com

True story...happened to me yesterday.
This is an email I sent to some friends yesterday...one of them is Linda Johnson "The First Lady of Poker." She's also the announcer for the WPT and gave me a ticket to the final taping of the WPT $25K Tourney.
Anyway here it is in it's original form.
----------------------------------------
And the bonehead of the week award goes to....
*Drum roll please*
ME!
I jump in the shower today to get ready to go to where?
The final table taping of the WPT at the Bellagio.
For some reason I leave the house a little late and I needed to stop
by the store to grab another memory card for the camera because I
wanted to take a whole bunch of pictures.

It's 2:31 as I'm heading down Lake Mead towards the 15. I get on the
15 and I'm flying down the highway thinking that I could not be late,
Linda was so kind to get me a ticket and I didn't want her to think I
wouldn't show up.

I keep my eyes on the clock as I think myself out of the best exit to
take. I take Spring Mountain DOH! and there is some not a whole lot
of traffic on the strip.

It's nearing 2:40 and I figured if I can get to Valet by 2:45 I should
have just enough time to make it to the Tower Ballroom.

As I tip the valet and ask where it's located I quickly learn I should
have parked back behind by the conservatory and now realise I have a
long walk across the casino but I should still make it.

I quickly navigate my fat little legs through the casino and arrive
outside the Tower Ballroom only to see a number of Tower Ballrooms. I
think 6 total, don't hold me to that.

However what I do not see are other people waiting for the taping.
I'm right on time but there is no one around, no WPT sign outside the
doors like last time.

So I ask around and keep getting told that it's being shot at the
Fontana Bar. But that can't be correct, Linda said it had been moved.
So I ask security.

Yep it's being held at the Fontana Bar. It's about 3:10 now and I'm
thinking I'm late and will have some explaining to do.

Now it's back across the casino to the bar.

As I approach the bar I see a tournament going on and I'm thinking to
myself this can't be right. I'm supposed to be watching the final
table there are far too many people playing.

I ask around if anyone has seen either Linda or Jan and I'm told they
are either inside the bar or outside. I then see Jack Mclelland
sitting on a stool talking to some people.

I then go over and tell him my story. That I was supposed to show up
for the taping of the final table and I can't seem to find Linda.

His answer was, in true Jack Mclelland style.

Don't worry it's next Sunday I'm sure you'll find her by then.

DOUBLE DOH!

Well now don't I feel silly.

Either way I went ahead and sat down in the $4/$8 and win 22 big bets,
so there was a happy ending.

See you guys Tuesday. God I hope it's Tuesday.

Yeah...I'm a dork.

Nah not really...LOL
As I was driving home last night I started to think about the classic "What if they threw a war and nobody came." So there you go.

LOL I know how you feel.

I guess I need to talk about how my cock is big or something so all the rod riders will come out of the wood work and post.

Reminds me of showing up somewhere in your underwear. Then you wake up... and you're actually laying in the place you were in your dream... in your underwear.

It wasn't a dream. Cocaine is a powerful drug!

My girlfriend's aunt went to the wrong wedding when her (my gf's) sister was getting married. That's pretty embarrassing.

I think she said after a few minutes. She was an out of state aunt who only knew a few people there. She said when she figured it out, everything had started and so she just hung around for the whole thing.
