!!NEW DATE- August 1, 2010 - R.I.P.T. (Poker Tournament)!!
« on: May 12, 2010, 06:31:33 PM »
If you are reading this, then you are invited to the 2nd annual Recording Industry Poker Tournament to be held at The Village Recording Studios in West L.A. on July 25th, 2010.

Last July, over 100 players from our industry met up at the world famous Village Recording Studio's ballroom for an afternoon of fun and friendly competition. We played Texas Hold ‘Em competing for some amazing prizes that were donated by leading equipment and software manufacturers. We managed to raise over $7,000 for Sound Art L.A (http://www.soundartla.org ), an organization that provides music education for children of all ages, giving them access to the tools of popular music and the guidance of professional musicians as instructors.

Between now and the tournament, I'll be working hard to put this event together with the help of veteran event coordinator Karen Dunn, (owner of KMD Productions), Jeff Greenberg (CEO of The Village Recorders), Damon Gramont (Bricasti & Summit), and countless other volunteers.

This tournament is for anyone who is in any way connected to the recording industry and you don't need to be an expert poker player to participate. In fact, many of last year’s participants had never played in a live tournament before that day. It's an afternoon specifically created for us to see old friends and meet new ones.

Putting together this tournament was and is truly a labor of love. The idea was born with the sole purpose of finding a way to bring our community closer together while also trying to do something good for the future of the industry.

Soon we will re-open our website for registration and to view details about the tournament, along with a full list of this year's sponsors and donations. Here is the video that I did to announce last year's prizes.

Wish me luck on trying to top that for this year!

So please save the date and spread the word. Hope to see you there.

Best,
Dave Reitzas

They say the heart of Rock & Roll is still beating, which is amazing if you consider all the blow it's done over the years.

"The Internet enables pompous blowhards to interact with other pompous blowhards in a big circle jerk of pomposity." - Bill Maher

"The negative aspects of this business, not only will continue to prevail, but will continue to accelerate in madness. Conditions aren't going to get better, because the economics of rock and roll are getting closer and closer to the economics of Big Business America." - Bill Graham

EDIT: Rats I just realized I'm in the bay area that week mixing Bruce Cockburn…  Maybe a Sunday off and a nice drive down the coast to grab all y'alls's chips

For anyone on the fence...  It was fun last year and while the cash for charity was generous__ it was impressive how generous the prizes for the attendees were also...  Bricasti's Telefunken Elam re-issue..  etc.  If I remember correctly JJ even got some very needed Drum Samples!  How those woking out for you?  Sell your Camco yet?   haha j/k

Had a great time last year, although I'm still smarting from having my pocket aces cracked by a surprise flush on the river. Shocked I'll be back again this year if I can swing the time off.

I'm one O thems that had never played before but I made it half way through. My pocket aces got beat too but I got a funny TShirt for that strange twist of fate.  I was awarded a set of the Audio Technica ATH-M50s cans, which surprisingly, have become my favorite set!

It's a blast folks. Do attend.

David -

Yeah I'm workin' on it…  Meanwhile have you been haunting Commerce?  I've been there on a couple of tourneys.  CA State Championship - made it about 10 rounds but was never really running well there.

Been running well at the small Bike tourneys though.  Somewhat better than even money the last few months.

I mean… wait…

Bummer Sad
If possible, I'll try to set up a home game a week before as a warm up, so hopefully you'll be able to be around for that.

Also, thanks for updating the post.
