Campbell For Kids Redux

by AirTrafficAJ on Nov 30, 2010 2:47 AM CST

So I'm gonna throw this out there:

Once again, Brian Campbell is going to have his Celebrity Poker charity event this coming January the 18th at the Horseshoe Casino in Hammond, Indiana. I went last year, and had a friggin' blast. I realize that the pricing is a bit steep, but save those couch pennies. You know you want to be the guy that knocks John Scott out so you can put his sweater on and have it go to your feet like you were a 2-year old. I'm guessing the dude could single-handedly (and single-malt) drink us all under the table...

I think it would be cool as shit if a bunch of us could gather there and enjoy the good booze, decent food, and cool assed company of our favorite Blackhawks. If any of you are interested, or even thinking about going, post up on this fan-thingy and maybe we can get the ball rollin' again.

See you there???

I won’t be able to attend but i would love to get my hands on one of the “Campbell for kids” hats the Hawks are always wearing. Odd that they don’t sell or offer them on his website. Do you recall if they made them available at the event last year?

Yeah, they had them there.

I don't know how much you trust your pantless internet friends

but maybe you could grab some extras in exchange for some PayPal dough or something? Or maybe let Soupy know in person that people on the Internets want hats!

I've seen

people request that they sell it on his facebook page. Nothing listed on the website though. Doesn’t make much sense. I gotta figure they could sell those hand over fist and make a good deal of $ for the charity.

I wish they'd make shirts.

I’m not a hat person but i would definitely buy a shirt. I’ve seen that request on his facebook page too.

by Katherine215 on Dec 1, 2010 10:27 AM CST up reply actions

I think he mentioned once in an interview that people request the hat all the time

and that they’re working on it.

Sure

If they have them again, I’ll snag a few. Maybe I’ll get one of them autographed and the SCH overlords can have some kind of “charity” raffle.

I would love to go

but I have zero poker skills. If others are going and watching, I would possibly join you.

by Katherine215 on Nov 30, 2010 9:33 AM CST reply actions

You don't have to play

You can actually just buy a ticket (which includes the booze and dinner), and watch the whole thing happen. The players mingle after they get booted, so it’s still really cool.

by AirTrafficAJ on Nov 30, 2010 10:46 AM CST up reply actions

Yeah, I just can't get anyone to go with me

They don’t like the high price for a ticket. :( I would go by myself and play, but I would embarrass myself and lose all my money in about 5 minutes.

by Katherine215 on Nov 30, 2010 11:08 AM CST up reply actions

I would go in a heartbeat just to watch

I just don’t know if I’ll have the cash then. I’m saving up to try to get to another game.

If you change your mind/find the funds, let me know!

by Katherine215 on Dec 1, 2010 10:28 AM CST up reply actions

I'll definitely let you know if I decide to go.

I'd love to go

but I’m probably not gonna have any cash on me at that time. Just paid for a January Nashville trip (!!!) and half a flight for another trip. :\

you're going to Nashville? for the Preds game?

anyone going with you? I was hoping others might be willing to road trip to it (though sounds like you’re flying).

Please don't drink this year

with anyone we don’t want traded the very next day.

I'm in!

Saving up for this after seeing how much fun last year’s event looked.

I'd love to go

And I do actually play poker, but with my student loans all starting to come due, it’s hard for me to justify the cost. But my back-up plan is to find a sugar-daddy who’ll front the money for me, so we’ll see how that goes (my guess is not well).

its wouldn't be tough for you puppet...

just remember the next time some guy asks you “so do you girls like hockey?” you respond with “heh heh yes we do. i hope you do too. :)” and then ur in

I don’t know whether to laugh or be concerned that soupy wants to pimp out puppet…

by ahnfire on Dec 1, 2010 4:53 PM CST up reply actions

I laughed at first

but I understand your concern.

Maybe, just once, someone will call me 'Sir' without adding, 'You're making a scene."

i'm not pimping her out...

i’m just giving her ideas on how to make her wishes happen. not saying to or not to do it, just throwing options out

i'll consider it

yes i suppose it’s an option, albeit one i’m highly unlikely to use….

we need an SCH poker tournament

where maybe some of the poker players here can teach the non-players how the game’s played. I wanted to do this event this year (when I saw your post last year) but figured I’d rather be playing than just going around drinking (because, uh, that would probably just be a bad idea in all). Sadly, I never learned how.
