Keno in Reno
"basically, if I remember right you give somebody a card with numbers and a little bit later they bring you some money"
Finally, a day off! We were in Park City just long enough to do a show on Monday night. We loaded in, played a show at a cool place called The Sidecar. Then after the show we loaded up and I began driving into the darkness, headed for Reno. It was a nice drive, And sometime around 4am I handed off the driving to Jason. Rocked to sleep by the moving bus, I had a nice nights sleep. When I woke up we were in Reno, all checked into our rooms and everything. Jon and Ross had already left for San Francisco. The rest of us relaxed a bit, took showers and caught up on emails, did some work from our rooms. Then came the evening. I'm sure you're all thinking this means big band party on their day off! Well, here is how our evening went down. Justin was asleep before the rest of us even headed out the door. Mike and Jason headed for the gaming tables, Nick ,Tyler and I headed for the bar. After about two hours Mike and Jason returned, Mike a bit heavier in the wallet. We all headed up to the resturant for some late evening dining. You name it, it was on the menu. Prime rib, salads, mogolian beef, etc.... yummy. So we sat and ate, and played Keno at the same time. Mike walked away 50 cents richer, Jason about $1.25, and everyone else walked away full and broke. I contemplated waiting ten more minutes to take advantage of the the late night $3.99 pancake special, but opted out of that bad idea. We all headed to our room. Still waiting for the crazy party story right? Here it comes...by 11:30 Mike and Jason were asleep, Tyler and I contacted a few friends via IM before crashing as well. So there you have it, our crazy night off in Reno. But in our defense, there wasn't much to do after you were done gambling. The combined age of the folks in the casino was well over a zillion. We have now coined a new catch phrase for Reno...Where Vegas comes to die. But on a positive note, Mike was up about a hundred or so when we left town.
