On the Road to See the Eagles-- Part 8-- NTN-Buzztime

Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, we enjoyed the great pool and hot tub at the Ramada, and, we were the only ones at it until Friday night.

Thursday, we ate at the Golden Corral in Davenport. These are highly recommended for places to eat while out on the road. How they can give you that much great food for that price is beyond me.


BLEACHER BUMS, FUNKY MOE'S, UPTOWN BAR

Thursday, we played NTN-Buzztime at Bleacher Bums and Funky Moe's in Davenport. We had been to Bleacher Bums a few years back, but the Final Four was on and they wouldn't change any stations. Found out they had just gotten the game back a short time ago after having dropped it.

Funky Moe's ended up being the old Plucker's where we've often played. The last time we were there, they were not open. They also were threatened with a lawsuit by a place in Texas that had copyrighted the name.

Friday, we drove across the river to Moline to visit Dennis at Fargo Lounge, but he wasn't there. Dennis is well known for his top finishes during the morning and early afternoon. Then went to the new Jumer's Casino outside of Rock Island. Pretty impressive place with their own non-tobacco cigarettes. It replaces the old Rock Island Casino boat on the river, much like he Mississippi Belle II has been replaced by the Wild Rose Casino in Clinton.

Wanted to play NTN at Bleacher Bums or Funky Moe's, but they were really crowded with their 2-for-1 happy hour specials. Went back to Uptown Bar and played NTN while a local radio station had a remote show. They later had a live trivia game where Liz and I tied for first place and had to turn down a free pony keg party this coming Friday since we weren't going to be there.
