May I have your job?

Captain YARRR

Haha!

Matt Trulio

No.

But if I'm lucky I'll get to meet you someday while I'm out there doing. I get to meet so many great people, and then I get to write them. It's fun, and I never forget how lucky I am.

Heck, maybe I'll get to write about you and your crew someday.

Not only does he have a great job but Matt is also a good Boat B,

Glad you made it out to Destin and your both always welcome to ride along.

Matt Trulio

When hitch as many free rides as I do, you damn well better learn to be a good Boat B!

Thanks, Dan, for all. See you in Key West.

Matt, your article brings up a point we discussed while we were in Destin. Stu could certainly learn a few things from the way Skipper ran this event.

Too Stroked

I totally agree, and might be able to put a finger on why. A good Poker Run depends on organization - and lots of it. A good part of that organization comes from a schedule. That's what allows a good run to go so seamlessley.

But that organization also has a downside. Participants need to follow the schedule. If they don't, things get screwed up.

On an event like the one Matt described, the order of the day is just sitting back - with little or no schedule - and having a good time with friends. There's a lot to be said for just doing that! I think there's a good place for both.

Matt..pencil us in over here at Lake Travis just outside Austin, or LOTO over July 4th weekend. We'd make a solid case study. I2D

Sounds good, and with any luck I won't make as many word omissions as I did in my comment above.
