50,000 Monkeys at 50,000 Typewriters Can't Be Wrong

charity poker tourney in santa monica this weekend

  • Games

My friends who own Fleet Street Games are sponsoring a charity poker tournament this weekend in Santa Monica.

It’s called All-In for Scleroderma.

Now, I know what you’re thinking: “Why in the world would I go all-in for scleroderma? Doesn’t scleroderma suck?”

Yes, yes it does, but “All In To Help Raise Money in the Fight Against Scleroderma” just doesn’t have the same ring to it, Champ.

It’s this Saturday, September 20 from 5pm to 10pm. You can buy-in for as little as $50. I’m playing in the tournament, and I’ll even have a copy of Happiest Days of Our Lives as a bust out prize (the player who knocks me out wins the book. How’s that for a $20 overlay!?)

All the details, including location and stuff, can be found here.

    and I was hoping that you were going to be at a game store…
    This is totally the wrong kind of game for me. Now if you want to play in a Combat Commander tournament I’ll do my best to wipe the floor with you! 🙂

    Once again wishing I was back in California, where I’m supposed to be. *sigh* Someday…

    “All In Against Scleroderma” works for me.

    My mother has had to watch two friends die slowly and painfully from scleroderma – so I applaud you on participating in this. And I think Jan and Irene would be happy, too. Jan loved TNG, by the way.

    I wish I could come and participate. Its a great cause, but you know I am still stuck back here in the center of the country. I will try and raise awareness for the event as much as I can. I hope they get a good turnout. 🙂
