Quick RauHaus V recap

For the final RauHaus event at our comfy Connecticut digs, we decided to go big: $100 entry fee. Seven games. Three entire cows grilled up bulgogi-style.

It was an exciting finish, as five players (in a field of ten) entered the last round at 4-2. In the end, we crowned a new champ:

1. [info]goldfishbw  5-2, +390
2. [info]ftangredi  5-2, +241
3. [info]key_lime_guy  4-3, +324
4. [info]cheezchick  4-3, +283
5. [info]wisemonkey  4-3, +236
6. Augustine Adda (who needs to get a dang LJ already)  4-3, +16
7. [info]picopaco  4-3, -159
8. [info]olaugh  2.5-4.5, -248
9. [info]satireblank  2.5-4.5, -252
10. [info]sr_orangepants  0-7, -831

Other prizes included most bingos (18) by Alyssa, most stylish bingo (GANGBANG) by Cecilia, and high game (597) by yours truly. Portions of the entry fee fund were spent on an array of housewarming gifts (including matching Monkey and Doggie baskets) for John and CeLe.

The final game at table #1 pitted me against Brad for all the marbles. It was a close game all the way which turned a bit ugly at the end, as my last rack of LMNQRWZ couldn't get the job done against his admittedly-not-all-that-much-prettier AEIIIRU. Congrats to Brad, who walked away with the biggest first prize ($400) in the history of the RauHaus events.

Thanks to all who've helped make these events so much fun. We're going to try to put our next one together this summer after we're all settled into our new digs in Baltimore.

Thank you so much again for inviting me. It was a blast. (Even if Terry did try to lose my scorecard.)

sounds exciting! i'm jealous that i missed it. i had to buy my own meat to do up some bulgogi, which will pale in comparison to kangarau's, but it's better than nothing.

oh, two other things:

-Why didn't Terry play?

-If you have a RauHaus tourney in Baltimore this summer, I might actually be crazy enough to fly down for it.

I didn't play 'cause Bihlmeyer really wanted to - and because I'd had two hours' of sleep and plenty of cooking to do. I thought it'd be better for everyone concerned if I just played hostess.

As for Baltimore, of course you have a standing invite (is that the right term?) to any and all future RauHausen - and it might be worth you while considering a certain MEH and maybe even Sammy O might play. And - of course you can sleep over. I will be looking for a house/apt in the next month, and will be sure to get a place big enough.
