Alright, it's Saturday night, it's Koreatown, you're probably expecting a fully-reported evening of careless carousing at the local watering hole/karoake parlours. However, the Koreatown Chronicler's wonderful Westchester friends always throw a well-attended Ten Dollar Poker Night every couple of months, and the thought of a friendly, yet cost-effective, evening of booze-fueled competition is always impossible to resist, especially since it always offers me the opportunity to casually visit one of my favorite grocery stores, Bristol Farms, in order to pick up some pre-poker competition goodies. This time, I decided that the wonderfully-breezy Spring weather demanded that we drink Jamaica's very own alchoholic brew, Red Stripe. Of course, you think of beer when you think of Jamaica, right?
Of course, the party itself was spectacular, with Jenn Fong adding to the festivities with a delicious Raspberry Mousse Cake from Glendale's own Porto's Bakery, always a party highlight.
As far as the poker itself goes, well, Gary Hoggatt has promised to send me a full write-up of the top four players and their winnings, which pretty much tells you how far my "subtle, conservative" approach to poker got me last night: let's just say I was playing Solitaire and making repeated appetizer bar trips pretty early. Suggestion: We could have a Mah Jong table for poker drop-outs supplemented with readings from various Amy Tan novels including, but not limited to, The Joy Luck Club, for inspiration(I also have the Original Broadway Cast Album of Rodger and Hammerstein's Flower Drum Song which gives me an idea...)...Any takers?
