I had a mid-day meeting with the director of the local women’s resource center for victims of sexual abuse and domestic violence, who’d contacted me last week to ask if I’d be willing to organize a benefit for their 50th anniversary this year, as I’d organized two benefit shows for them pre-covid. The local theatre had already declined another “Women’s Voices” bc they already host … a host of benefits every year, and they’re also struggling for money 
Here’s hoping it works out, as the two shows were very popular, and we have some new talent in town I’d love to feature 
Grabbed a taco flight with my PIC for lunch afterwards.
Our country club show went well — played through cocktail hour and dinner, diners were pretty sedate but apparently loved us, and management asked if we could tag on another half hour… for extra pay, of course. Why, yes. Yes please 
My bandmates even got food to take home (basically the BOH meal), I declined bc I knew our poker host would have some delicious food, and he did: a chicken/potato/carrot curry, and a vegetarian Thai green curry with tofu, eggplant and bamboo shoots. The pics don’t do the food justice, both were delicious, and I was starved.
After an abysmal start with the worst hands imaginable I ended up winning a decent amount, whereas my PIC did terribly. I’m totally beat but it was a fun night.
