I drove down to Austin Saturday morning and took care of a few errands before hooking up with Kyle to do some hanging out. We ran around for a bit then met up with some people at Dave & Buster’s, the bar slash arcade slash pool hall. A lot of people from NCSoft were there, Kyle, Dirk, Tim, and Jon and Pete. Later, my friend Phillip showed up and then my brother, Scott and his fiancee, Gloria. It was good to see everyone.
The highlight for me was when Scott got Kyle to buy a pack of cigarettes so he could show off his bar trick of tying a cigarette in a knot without breaking it, untying it, and then smoking it. It sounds impossible and it should be.
Kyle finally succumbed to curiosity and bought a pack of Marlboros to see how it was done. Then we all went outside (since you cannot smoke inside in Austin) where Scott tried to hustle the moonlighting police officer into contributing some cash to see how it was done. He definitely has a gift for the theatrical. I need to post the little video I caught of the action.
Whoa, whoa, get out the way with that good intaomrfion.
