Long time readers may remember that back in April 2005 I started my livejournal with a post about the World Series of Speed Quarters. Well, after all this time the video is now online. It features yours truly prominently in the first 15 seconds, and then not at all after that. The speech I give at the beginning about table quality actually went on for a good minute or two, but they just pulled that one bit. Then they show me hammer down a beer.
There’s another event coming up in San Francisco… not sure if I’ll sign up, but I recommend anyone in the area to give it a shot.
Pip pip, cheerio. What’s with the British accent?
Heh… I was in character
I had a whole little backstory about my late father who used to play “speed shillings”, and how I had come to the US to compete in his honor.
Think you’ll go by? I hear you don’t have to drink at all to participate.
Eh. Maybe. The Marina gives me hives.
