I hosted my second Poker Night at my condo party room. We had about 16 people attend including 12 poker players. We also had some non-players attend for the party. Despite the long weekend that kept several of our regular poker players away, we were still able to recruit a sizable crew. In particular it was great to have Dave Singh attend. Popeye Jim and his young coworker Alex also made an appearance.
Jimmy is thinking of hosting the next event in my party room. It is a great room, a huge space with leather chairs, a full kitchen, bathrooms and a large outdoor patio for smokers. My condo doesn't charge very much, you really only have to worry about a damage deposit. The central location of my condo downtown is also an attraction.
We had a great time and I have little doubt we will have as many as 18 players for October's event. The Popeye Jimmy Poker Event, hosted by D'Arcy.
I can thank M for recruiting people after I ran into trouble with regulars attending cottages. An avid poker player, M was relentless working the phones to ensure a decent turnout.
I lived in my condo for more than a decade before I ever used the party room. I don't consider myself the kind of person that organises house parties. I do host the annual post Beer Festival party which has been slowly losing momentum over the past few years.
Even though it cost me a small amount to rent the room, I also pay the condo cleaning lady to tidy up, it is worth it for me as I'm already home at the conclusion of the night.
