The Story
Convention Activities booked me again for the CETA Cornhole Tournament, held in a ballroom at the Peppermill in Reno on a Monday night in April 2024. Lanes of cornhole boards ran across the whole room behind rope lines, with cocktail tables all around them, and my decks sat at the edge of the play from 6:30 to 11:00 PM.
Sasha from Convention Activities told me ahead of time that the group was mostly men and would love a little classic rock, so that is what I built the night around: Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap by AC/DC, Sultans Of Swing by Dire Straits, Rhiannon by Fleetwood Mac, Burning Down The House by Talking Heads and Magic Carpet Ride by Steppenwolf while the bags flew.
As the games wound down the room turned into a party, with Friends In Low Places by Garth Brooks, Wagon Wheel by Darius Rucker, Sweet Caroline by Neil Diamond and Don’t Stop Believin’ by Journey, and people dancing right between the lanes.
The next morning Sasha wrote to say I “rocked it last night.”
