Who Darted?

May 07, 2009 10:23

I played the best game of 501 of my life, and perhaps the best game of darts in general of my life, last night. I don't know how many of you even know the rules to 501 (in a quick sentence, you start with 501 points and you have to be the first to work your way to zero, but you have to hit zero by an exact count, and the last throw you make to win ( Read more... )

I don't think the Tivoli has uniforms, nor do I believe they have as long as I've been going there (1997), just a formal dress requirement, much as the Hi-Pointe did when I worked there (under the Landmark Regime). It is a Wehrenberg Theatres uniform from the 1990s, though (maroon vest, aquamarine/turquoise bow-tie).

My friend and former roommate Matt, who was assistant manager at the Hi-Pointe at the time (not the 1990s, but the time I'm about to talk about), made a movie about working at a movie theatre (or really any crappy minimum wage job) called Diary Of A Co-Worker there (at the Hi-Pointe) and I had a featured part therein (I played the devil-may-care teenage stoner co-worker).

I'm not sure how easy it is to get a copy of the DVD, I just know I have one, and it is spectacular by any standard.

Darts are a mystery to me (the various games and scoring). Also a mystery to me is how anyone manages to purposely hit a particular part of a dart board. My scope of aim is the dartboard itself. Most of the time I can hit it, sometimes I don't.
