Some excitement during Friday night darts at Dolce Vita last night.  There is a progressive “bull shoot” jackpot that works like this:  You buy drawing tickets for chon won (a buck) and if your number is pulled you have the opportunity to take a shot at the double bull.  Hit it, and you win the pot.  No one has managed that feat for the past several months (I had the chance to throw at it a couple of times and failed).  So, the jackpot had grown to a little more the a million and a half won ($1500).  I certainly contributed my share in worthless tickets.

Well, last night Alisteir the Scot had his number drawn.  Three warmup darts and then the money shot.  Bullseye!  Well, to be precise, DOUBLE Bullseye.  Pandamonium broke out and Alisteir was of course ecstatic.  Although everyone coveted the prize, we were all thrilled to see Alisteir take the money.  A great guy and excellent darter, he has some recent immigration problems and hasn’t been able to work regularly.  So that money is both needed and well-deserved.  He recieved a prolonged ovation and left a happy man last night. 

He actually took first place in the tourney as well, so it was an overall great night for him.  Congrats again!
