Friday night I went to see Tony Bennett (not by choice) and had a good laugh. The average age in the audience was about 65 and my sister and I were smushed in between his biggest fans. The woman beside me sang along to every song, squealed with delight at Tonys moves and cried like a baby throughout the show. At the end of his performance the theatre staff wheeled out walker after walker after walker and wheelchair after wheelchair. My sister and I were laughing so hard. She commented that "it wasn't so bad" and this older woman shot her the dirtiest look.
I ended up going out with a friend for a few pints after the show then of course to the casino till the wee hours of the morning. I'm not a gambler but he is and wanted some company. I strolled in around 4:30am.
On Saturday evening I again found myself at the casino but not to gamble, it was a girls night out at the bar. We picked the perfect location as it was a huge sausage fest at the casino. The world poker tour was in full effect and there were men as far as the eye could see. I was surprised at how many of them came over to say hello to a table of 8 women. I figured our numbers would intimidate them but not so. There was this guy:
I forget why I asked this gentleman to pose like this but he was a good sport:
another one:
I was a little bit disappointed that we did not run into this guy!!! Apparently he is well known in the area for his interesting dance moves and has thus been dubbed the swiffer. The band even said "When is the swiffer coming?" Damn it!!! Ah well next time!

Tomorrow on Oprah (Tues October 14th) will be a show about animals and how ones food gets from the farm to the table. Just in case anyone is interested in such a show, I know I am :)

Yeah I'll be watching Oprah starting never. Still the subject sounds interesting.
The third guy is cute. Did you get digits?
THAT GUYS HOT!!! I hope you got his number!!!
Wiwille & PP, we met that guy on the playing floor after the bar. He wanted to go with us for food but his friends were still gambling and to be honest I don't recall how we parted. He was super hot though.
Just catching up......not going to make Oprah....sounds good though!
Oh, there's an Oprah is fat joke in there somewhere. But dangit, I'm too tired to think of it. Somebody gimme a hand here.
Oh well. Regardless of Oprah, Canadians, get out there and vote.
Sounds like a great time...I am kind of a gambler at heart so I love casinos! I am laughing at the guy's dance move when he bends over...like it's some sort of mating ritual (or invitation). haha
Aussie Pom, hey there, it's been such a long time, I hope all is well!!
WIGSF, I went this morning to vote.
JLee, haha I know! I want to see him in person to see what other moves he pulls out.
I love the candid moment to moment pics! Nice. Yeah, I need to get a camera. I'm cheap and antiquated like that. :)
Definitely hope you got some digits.
But the question is....do you really want to date a guy who's into gambling?
Did you watch the Oprah thing? was it good?
I can't believe you are kind of making fun of Tony Bennett. That guy can throw down for an old guy.
Glad you had a good weekend!
I'd like to hear how you got tricked/forced/coerced into seeing Bennet. I think you wanted to see Bennet & are scared to admit the power that he wields over you. Ha.
But the night sounds like a good time as I am surprised your female gang didn't intimidate solo guys as 8 is a daunting challenge to overcome.
You guys look pretty hot for that late in the evening. Usually when we get to the flying dump everyone looks like they got dragged by a car.
Third guy - phew!
Cxx
Invisible G, I love taking photos (especially secret ones of mullets) as for the digits, I didn't get any, we were all just having fun!
Rawbean, exactly!! I'm not a gambler and nor do I want to date one. I have yet to watch it, i'll let you know what I think when I do.
Scott, I'm not making fun of him per se...just you know...making fun of the audience.
2DP, my mother bought the tickets and then went on vacation so my sister wanted to go...it was that or throw them out.
Jennifer, ha thanks! I posted the "pretty" photo of us....there were some much worse :)
Claire I know he's HOT!!
