One of my friends in town suggested last week that I arrange a private poker tournament as a sort of farewell event. I liked the idea, but when I asked on Twitter who might attend such a thing, I got only eight affirmative responses, which I thought was not enough to go on.
So let me ask here: I'm specifically thinking of Friday, February 1, in the evening. If you live in town or will be visiting here then, would you be interested in participating in:
(A) A low buy-in private poker tournament (probably in the range of $50) somewhere on the Strip yet to be determined, likely using the casino's usual daily tournament structure (read: fast),
or,
(B) A get-together for food and/or drinks and/or other random shenanigans, most likely at Herbs and Rye on West Sahara?
Please reply via comments here, or Twitter to @PokerGrump, or email to Rakewell1 at the yahoo place (but, please, just one of those means so that I don't double-count) if the probability that you would make it is greater than 50%. (Never mind whether you responded to the earlier tweet. I'm starting the count over again with hopefully a wider audience here.) Let me know, please, if you would do one but not the other, or if you would join in either type of event.
Thanks.

I'm in for poker tourney and then drinks at H&R.
I would venture to guess that there is a greater than 50% chance that I'll be there. Probably.
99% chance I can attend, and either event, or both, is fine with me.
90% chance of either, but I like Vixen's idea.
I'll be there for a Mule or two. I won't be playing teh pokerz though....
How about we just join the 7pm tourney at the TI and then head out for food/drinks after? Just thinking out loud...I'm game for whatever!
86% chance I will be there. I'm up for both/either.
s.i.
On the Strip where Tony can't play? Some friend you are!
(you'll need to stake him too).
(and pay for his cab fare).
Sorry, but I haven't really been checking Twitter lately or I would have responded sooner. I am absolutely down to participate in the Grump send off Poker Tourney! Also, I like to eat and drink so I'm in for that as well.
had u suggested it to the riv, im sure mark wouldve gladly set up a private tourney for u, remember the good service? id have played if the buyin was really low, or been a mixed game instead, had it been in the riv. i just didnt have time to type the suggestion fast enough.
