It&#8217;s a good show, and is running for one more weekend&#8211; go if you can.<\/p>\n<p>Saturday morning, I drove up to SF with a friend to check out the open casting call for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nbc.com\/nbc\/Treasure_Hunters\/\">NBC&#8217;s &#8220;Treasure Hunters.&#8221;<\/a>  We didn&#8217;t apply; we just wanted to see if any other local Gamers would show up.  Some did, and we chatted with them for a while.<\/p>\n<p>Saturday night, another Gamer emailed me to ask if I&#8217;d like to join his team and apply for the show.  I figured, what the hell, and said yes.  Then DeeAnn and I went to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mountainwinery.com\/\">Mountain Winery<\/a> for dinner (good, but not great), and to see <a href=\"http:\/\/www.margaretcho.com\/tour\/tour.htm\">Margaret Cho<\/a> (hi-larious).<\/p>\n<p>On Sunday afternoon, I drove back to SF to record an on-camera interview for the &#8220;Treasure Hunters&#8221; casting agents.  I don&#8217;t expect them to call us back.  I&#8217;m half expecting the show to die in pre-production, since they were asking for applications way back in April and seem increasingly desperate to find suitable contestants&#8211; and, by their own admission, the producers keep changing their minds about who they want to cast.  But what do I know?<\/p>\n<p>Sunday night, I played in <a href=\"http:\/\/daveey.netapt.com\/bang10\/\">BANG 10<\/a> as part of Team Blah (we couldn&#8217;t come up with a name).  We tied for second, which was not only respectable, but also got us out of having to plan the next BANG&#8211; that burden, uh, <span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">privilege<\/span> is reserved for the first-place teams (a three-way tie this time).<\/p>\n<p>Finally, when I got home on Sunday, DeeAnn informed me that our TV appeared to have shorted out when she tried to turn it on that night.<\/p>\n<p>So I&#8217;m a little tired today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This past weekend was strange, busy, and good.
