The Weekend to date

Hello faithful reader. So the Chocolate Bunny weekend started off with a good ole trip to the Brantford Casino on Friday. Maybe a bad idea. The place was a mad house. Absolutely packed. Apparently everyone else had the same idea we did. We put our names on the wait list for poker, but I really didn't intend to play any poker looking at that list. Two of my friends had their names on a 2 lists, and finally got seats at the $5-$10 table 3 hours later. I decided I'd just fool around. Things started off very well at the Price is Right "Plinko" slot machine. Immediately into the Plinko bonus game I managed to drop both my Plinko chips into the centre slot for a cool $100. We moved on to Let it Ride, which is pretty much the only other table game I will play, besides Black Jack. I played Let it Ride, for quite a good while, and ended up down $50. Not bad at all for some good entertainment. As two of my friends finally got seated at Poker, Mr. James Ward and I decided to go for dinner. Dinner was Moose Winooski's, and my lord, the place kicked our asses. The portions of food were very big, and there's was also a giant garlic bread that apparently comes when someone orders steak, that I wasn't expecting. Leaving food on our plates Ward and I felt like we had let ourselves down, but we were both just too full to finish up. We headed back to the Casino, talked to the guys and they asked for 45 minutes more of poker. What was I gonna do for 45 minutes? Back to Plinko. Bad idea. $50 gone in around 3 minutes flat. That sucked. After the Casino it was back to Milton, and the Ivy Arms for a little Karaoke. At first we thought it wasn't going on , as basically no one was there, but the karaoke dude showed up, and soon things were rocking. The highlight of my night was definitely Matthew Prevost singing Don`t Fear the Reaper. There was a lot of air cowbelling going on in the audience.

Yesterday involved a trip to Casa de Comrie, which is always good times. Sean's wonderful wife Janine has never let us down, and the place is filled with good eats. I arrived to find copious amounts of Easter Chocolate (and only the best Laura Secord at that), Fruit platter (with whipped cream), and two homemade quiches. The quiche was fantastic. Sean`s place is where I do most of my video gaming, and on today's schedule was Guitar Hero 2, which has just become available for XBOX 360. The game is the Nuts (which means good). I only attempted songs on "easy" but man, what fun. I could seriously play that game for a long time.

The night was finished up by watching the Toronto Maple Leafs destroy the Montreal Canadiens and crush their Playoff dreams. We still need New Jersey to beat the Islanders today to allow the Leafs to get in the playoffs. That games coupled with the Masters will basically be my afternoon.
