Just wondering if anyone does anything unique for their home game.
Many years back we did a long weekend at my friend's place in Playa la Costilla (about an hour south of San Felipe in Baja). No TV, no phones, no computers, just seven of us hanging out at his place on the Sea of Cortez. We BBQ'd most of our meals and basically had a four day long dealer's choice game in between beach golf, riding ORVs, beach football and whatever else. At night we shot off a ridiculous amount of fireworks. Over the four days we did a different tournament each day (Lo-ball, Stud, Omaha, Hold'em) and points accrued based on finishes in each. The overall winner was crowned King of Baja. Such a great time!
We did it again a year or so later at his new place in San Felipe but it just didn't have the same magic. Too close to town, everybody just wanted to go to the bars and drink, less about hanging out and playing poker. The previous spot was more isolated, so less distractions. We just started kicking around the idea of doing it again, so I hope it materializes.
