Lesson for you and 5 to 9 of your friends in No Limit Hold'Em Tournament Poker
With Elizabeth Grey-Pardo of Poker Players International.
Elizabeth is an actress and playwright who plays professional poker as her day job.
She has played semi-professionally since 2005, and has cashed in seven World
Series of Poker and World Poker Tour circuit events. She played in the Main Event at
the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas in 2008, and is now represented by Poker
Players International, the most prolific poker agency in the world.
She has a poker blog, "Me and the Boys", written to encourage women to play in the
larger tournaments with men, and not to limit themselves to "Ladies Only" events.
Elizabeth will arrange a date for the party with the winning bidder at a place of your
choosing in the NY area (includes Westchester and a half-hour into NJ). Party can be
arranged for a mutually convenient week-night or weekend day or night (excluding
June 5 - September 1 as Elizabeth will be in Vegas playing at the WSOP), and she will
stay for 4 hours. She will bring cards and chips, and be the dealer. She will provide
worksheets with basic material for beginners, and after the lesson will run a small
poker tournament. You will need a table and chairs, and "if you want to eat you have
to supply Doritos". Elizabeth "does not suggest alcohol if you really want to learn, but
if you just want to have fun, drink up".

"Deconstructed Shri Mona"
24" x 18" unframed giclée print on canvas by artist Todd Monaghan.
Limited edition print (4/100) is of an original oil on collage.
Background from the author: "[The painting] is an easternized Mona Lisa. The path
represents the 'everyman path… leading from nowhere going nowhere'. There are 7
spheres (including the eyes) that represent the 7 chakras. The petals in the top of
the energy vortex represent the petals of the seventh chakra - enlightenment. The
painting was painted on a sequence collage of the Fireman Memorial at 102st and
Riverside on the Upper Westside. The only remaining 'photograph' can be seen at
the base of the energy vortex - if you look close you can see a light post."

OneTaste Center Foundations Workshop, 196 Grand St.
The OneTaste Foundations Course is a two-day exercise in connection and intimacy,
not only in relationship with other, but also to ourselves. Through activities, lectures,
and movement we'll begin to draw out the beliefs that keep us locked in dissatisfying
patterns and uncover the true potential each of has us for greatness. Our small class
sizes ensure that each student receives personal attention from teachers who live the
experience on a daily basis.
"In a world of separation, OneTaste is about connection. We provide tools for intimacy
in everyday life. Going to the root of experience, OneTaste integrates the principles of
mindfulness with the practice of sexuality: mindful sexuality. By nourishing and
including this basic and essential part of life, we discover richer relationships, an
embodied sense of self and the uncompromised feeling of wholeness."
