Big January offering pleases dart gods

By Ty Hughes

So, Friday of January 12, in the brand new year of 2007 rolls around, and I realize I've got to get my hiney over to Spectators' monthly $1,000 Payout Trios shootout.

The place is buzzin' with darters, drinks, fun and frivolity at its climax. People are bouncing throughout the crowd, havin' a great time. Chris ran a smooth tourney. I think everyone enjoyed his antics on the mic all night. He most certainly had fun, that I can tell you for sure. And so did the rest of the group out to play in Spec's Thousand.

I was amazed to see Hele and Sally, Lula, Big Joe and the gang along with about a dozen each of their friends. Present were players from all corners of the area. Some faces that haven't been seen as much too. Spectators hit fever pitch – it was partytime! It's always a reunion of sorts at Spectators big shoots. Come on out and join in. Check out these pictures! It's a blast!

After a long, crazy night, it came down to a three-way split, seein' as how Hele was out cold, yeah, that's him on the surfboard. Among the winners that night were the teams of Rich, Eddie and Sheree, Hele, Mara and Smokey, Al, Mike and Mary and Mike, Michelle and Shane. Congrats guys, good times.

Spectator's next big affair will take place on Friday, February 9. It'll be another 24 pt. Trios with a female bonus point; sign up closes at 8:30pm.
