Will never forget the Kevin Wible 10,000 dice bag story. Had a front row seat. Like a movie in slow motion Mike grabs the bottom of the bag and immediately I knew disaster was about to unfold. He throws it like he’s removing a stray cat from his property flinging it into the air (he could have just handed it to Wible) and in an explosion more dice than I’ll ever see again in my life erupted everywhere. We were picking dice up from inside of the bathrooms somehow. There were dice in the kitchen which was behind the bar on the opposite side of the place like 100 feet away and behind two walls.
Just crawling around under tables for what seemed like forever picking up Wible’s dice. You know everybody in that bar that night still tells that story from their perspective:
“Some drunk Canadian wrestler threw this poor guys dice all across the bar for no reason. It was incredible. The guy just stood there in disbelief then him and his friends crawled around under our table to pick them up. Don’t ask me why the dude had a potato bag full of dice at the bar.”

I started listening to this podcast last weekend and I finished it tonight while playing and posting results in my COTG fed.
I really enjoyed this episode of Roll Up as Mike had some great stories. Some things I did not know about were Mike's influence for Johnny Rocket, adding 1 on the Out of the Ring chart, and Genocide.
I consider Mike's rating systems and overall playing organization extremely innovative.
Hopefully Mike will be able to make it to Galacticon this year. I actually told Mike yesterday on Facebook I was looking forward to seeing him again in Philadelphia next month and it was not until I finished this podcast tonight that I was reminded about the current restrictions on traveling between the US and Canada.
And, yes, we need to have a Galacticon in Las Vegas.
Tigersamurai, I am very sorry to hear about your wife's grandfather.
I am looking forward to listening to this week's next episode of Roll Up. I am going to download it on my new cell phone and listen to it on the plane Friday night.
