Hey DA how about a progress report on what you think of the poker game.

First off MR let me say that all of your memories of the first whirlyball contest are totally unreliable due to your level of intoxication later on. Dyk had some success but it was all in one game at the end. As the guy who hangs out in the front room and shoots balls at the wall will tell you it’s all about the consistency. I scored half of my teams points in every game I played in. I challenge dyk to try to outscore me. In fact I’ll take Dyk on my team and we will play two on five and sweep all of you. Also Arne is going to be in attendance and I think that he may be a sleeper favorite.

I hear you Maleah. It was presented to me as just a ‘couple of dudes getting together to chill for a weekend’. I had no idea what was in the works…

Funny… Kyle never mentioned a zillionaire reunion. It must have conveniently slipped his mind when discussing his trip itinerary. I probably wouldn’t have been so willing to let him head up to Washington without me had I known the debauchery that he had planned. Hmmm…

I’m thinking of inverting my “textbook move” and dragging everyone along with me as I attempt to find the lowest vantage point in the city. I’ve heard so much about the Seattle underground that I want to experience it this time if possible. Hopefully, we’ll be below sea level on Saturday afternoon, even if that means donning scuba gear and wet suits.

Also, there are some details about Whirlyball that everyone should know.

1. You will be asked to help pay for this extravaganza. Renting the place was like $250 so I figure we’ll all just split that cost evenly. We should have a pretty sweet turnout so you won’t need to take out a second mortgage.

2. In addition, all you can drink alcohol is $10 bucks a person. The catch is that everyone (or nearly everyone) must agree to pay that to get the deal.

3. Scoring points at whirlyball is just one of the ways to tell a true champion. I like to think that other stats factor in as well such as how many times the referee scolds you, how many empty beer bottles line the bottom of your bumper car, and of course, how many times you hit the center circle on the practice bullseye while you are getting personal lesson from the guy who just hangs out there on a Saturday night.

A couple quick updates and corrections…

1. First off, Krusty… let’s be real here. You and I (along with about eight others) spent the night vying for Least Dominating Player award at the Whirlyball fest last year. The hands-down Most Dominating Player was Dyk. He’ll be in attendance this year as well… I just hope your trashtalking doesn’t incite him into being absolutely unstoppable during the game. If he starts draining half-court shots I’m holding you responsible…

2. Everyone is welcome for whatever we’re doing at all times. Don’t worry about your gender or anything else you can’t change. However, things you can change (haircuts, choice of T-shirt, etc) will be scrutinized and you will be held accountable.

3. Bring digital cameras people… If we get some classic shots I intend to use them as blackmail and for a gallery on this site… (two birds with one stone here.)

4. We should be at the Attic sometime around 9ish…

Is Friday night only a boys night or are the ladies allowed in? I am in town Friday night and would love to stop by the attic and say hello around 10ish.

I would like to go on record saying that this weekend will go down as the most memorable of all the zillionaire trips. I will arrive on Friday night at 8:05 and be picked up by Arne. I will be bringing a future zillionaire prepared to take the Seattle initiaition. His name is Rossi and he is a member of the Arkansas Zillionaire brach. We will stay at Arne’s house Friday night most likely. Then we will be up early and come down to Zillionaire central. I would like to go the Pike place brewery and the Owl and thistle sometime during the day. MR and DA I am going to order you to control yourselves on Friday night. I have so often heard your excuses that the night before I get there was to crazy and now you can’t hang with Krusty. I will also throw the gauntlent down and claim my title as whirleyball super star and MVP and leading scorer. Bring it on!
