The end of the road trip is near. We worked Moncton last night (actually 4pm in the afternoon) and it went really well. They had a great space, and the building was super easy to load and unload from. We have one more execution tonight that, again, has been nipped in the butt, this time by the local police department. The Fredericton police department has asked us not to run the poker tourney, but we are still allowed to run the rest of the event. So it’s going to be the Labatt Blue Chip Poker Tour, sans actual card playing. A winner will still be sent to Toronto for the finals, but it will be by a random draw. Fun, eh? C’est la vie.
Some final thoughts on Moncton. The last time I was here I felt it was a boring town, but it seems I just didn’t go to the right locations. There are a lot of nice pubs down side streets. We went to The Pump House (on Orange St.) to watch the Vince Carter return to Toronto game. It’s a nice little brew pub that had a fabulous wheat beer.
The convoy moves on in a few minutes, so I will close with some travel tips I have been collecting along the way:
Travel Tip # 21 – If you can fill up your gas tank, fill up your gas tank.
why have there been so many cancellations? what’s the big deal with playing a little poker? are there going to be so many cancellations back home in Toronto?
