Raw Food Casino

Laura and Fatima enjoying the youthful exuberance of coloring in coloring books. How fun!

Brian was the fun dealer for the night. He dealt the fun, and the crowd delivered it back. Let's just say, he went funkrupt. Cheesy!

Fatima's beautiful smile and Wayne's wonderful expression.

Who can say no to the funanity (dealer's own word) of playing with finger puppets?

Melissa and Genny enjoying their youth together coloring.

The puppet wars have started...the fun has blossomed some huge smiles.

The gang together at last in fun harmony. I love the smile on the dealer's face.

The professional photographer of the night, Daman. Thanks for all the great photos which will contribute to some saved memories!

Daman being the cool guy he is, and enjoying the Raw Food Casino decorations to the best of his ability. Sort of. I can't see his head in both openings.

Laura chewing on a black heart. Shouldn't it be red? Wait a minute... is she a female vampire?

Celina gave Brian the massage of his life, and boy did it hurt... in a good way. Is it really supposed to feel that way?

Melissa, Kip and Marcus enjoying the Swedish Furniture. That eco-friendly IKEA sofa looks like it's about to break... I'm surprised it didn't. Give it a couple more Casino's...

Some of the delicious raw food of the night. If we took photos of it all, you'd drool until your keyboard electrocuted your tongue.

Blindfolded eating doesn't just have to happen in high end restaurants, it can also happen at high end potluck's (Casino's) as well.

The dealer of the evening, Brian, after he spilled some Kombucha on the felt table cover and boy did it stink for the rest of the night, and the day after!

Fatima tasting some delicious raw organic vegan food.

Some say she looks like Tyra Banks... I'd be fine with very beautiful...

Wayne... are you attempting to eat some nuts? How can a squirrel, err human look so cute eating? Wait, we had no nuts at this event... except for maybe...

Pablo performing Stand-Up Comedy for the crowd. Our first event and our first performer and a fun comedian. I'm excited to see and hear future performers. Anyone is welcome, not necessarily only stand-up comedians, anyone with a great talent. Everything from toe ticking to bra stuffing. Wait, we might have those two events at our second Casino... Stay tuned.

We all played an Improv Comedy game called Barnyard where people had to sound like a certain animal, these were a few of the many voices you could hear at the same time. Look forward to many more Improv Comedy games at Raw Food Casino!

I love this shot of Daman, our photographer and friend. Ain't he a handsome fellow or what?

When Amy's not making the Casino money, she's dealing cards... Actually, that's a bit of a lie. There will never be any form of gambling at a Raw Food Casino. The only thing there will ever be, is the selling of lots of FUN! For free...! Until, we go Funrkupt...

Adam and Melissa having a fun chat while Wayne watches over in case someone has to go to the Penalty Box for lack of fun created.

Fatima looking super adorable.

Laura and Fatima looking fab-u-lous!

Amy still smiling after the paparazzi caught her in the middle of happiness.

Some of the nineteen beautiful people that strolled through the event.

The alien ran over there... This is actually kind of weird, because Brian (the dealer) saw a UFO a couple nights later above Trout Lake Park around midnight. It was roundish and had flashing lights that moved in some sort of pattern in the middle, and it looked really big too. I wonder if the US government hired them to protect the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics.

Everyone is voting on which raw food dish they liked, so the creator can win a prize. We had 4 prizes that night. We will usually have 3. Genny donated a bottle of Kombucha. The gag prize was a horny male goat made of wheat straw that was purchased from IKEA apparently, it's a Christmas decoration in Sweden. Those swedes!

Laura seems a little too happy to have won the gag prize, a goat made of wheat.

Laura and Fatima are going to share the prize. They both brought the same dish, Mango something salad...

Melissa's smile beams with happiness as she holds half of her prize, she won first place. She is holding a Yerba Mate Tea Gourd.

The other part of the whole group... the crowd was a little too big for a regular apartment. Wait, I can see some space... we'll try and fit another 5 in for the next Casino.

A charming man he is. Making the ladies beam with enjoyment.

Richard living in the moment. He looks fabulously alkaline. That's what you get when you drink delicious Kangen water and eat very, very well.

Celina and Monica, both being awesome.

Cinderella has arrived. Wait, she was here the whole night...

Monica being her awesome-self and the straw goat being his delicious festive self. This has to be the most explosive photo moment of the night. This photo should actually be in a magazine repping for all the super stars that came to this high end fabulous party!

The Kitchen Party, has just started brewing... I can hear the whistle.

I can't believe how happy everyone is... yes, I'm surprised!

Brian got a little frisky with Pablo for this shot... I guess he wanted to make the moment better than good, and it was.

So...Monica was the one trying to take off the dealer's clothes in the kitchen. It reminds me of that song by Nelly, "It's getting hot in here!" Everyone is smiling because Brian was screaming, "NO! NO! DON'T TAKE OFF MY CLOTHES!" He didn't want it to turn into an orgy after people saw his body. Raw Food Casino isn't that type of party.

A charming man, charming the ladies.

Brian feels inside that he should be in Motley Crue. Girls Girls Girls! Wait, that's one extra... Oh wait, maybe not... Monica is peeking into the photo in the middle of the shot.

BOO!

Let's toast to an amazing party, night and extraordinary Raw Food Casino.

It's getting a little hot in here... Thanks for the inspiration, Nelly. Err...I mean, ladies...

Julia's trying to figure out how to clean up Brian's badly messed up hair. If only Brian knew that the whole night he looked like a sweaty tennis player in Florida.

Genny brought some Kombucha... Green Tea with Rose Hips? Thanks Genny, you're amazing!

Testing out the Raw Food Casino sign. It wasn't as popular as Brian hoped it to be. But, it sure was a sight for the eyes, a beautiful site...
