Every hat I have ever owned off to Rand Fishkin for pulling off one of the absolute funnest things I have ever done in my entire life. This will truly be one of those events that literally for the rest of our lives people in the SEO will say either they were there, or were not. This made Pubcon the must do event of my year!

If you weren’t there, this blog will not make any sense, but you can still enter the Poker Tournament for Thursday night.

Here are a few of the photos from the event. I am so tired, that I will post the rest of them here over the next week. For now, I just prepared a few, and will post them here with a quick note on them.

First Rand had to school everyone on how to play. I failed this portion.

Matt Cutts rolled in late in style in the Google Limo, arriving in his usual fashion.

More early schooling by Rand about how to keep your head down.

I have  your card Matt Cutts!

The players learned the game and were off.

We each got a deck of the cards to keep. Very cool.

A black hat trying very unconvincingly to state his innocence.

For one game we formed an alliance, Survivor style, and picked off the other people one by one. Oddly enough none of us were the black hat.

This is a photo of Matt Cutts trying desperately to state that someone else was the Black Hat. A few moments later the truth came out, that Matt is a Black Hat.

Not too long after the last picture, Matt Cutts was doing that funny 90’s swinging head and body dance singing, “Black Hats Rule” “Black Hats Rule” “Black Hats Rule” This may or may not have been caught on video. Keep your eyes open to see if it appears.

There are tons more pics that I will post here in the next weekish.

Rand, Thank you so much for one of the funnest things I have ever done. There was so much strategy, intrigue, hilarity, and down right stupidity that it was amazing!!! If I was major sponsor looking for publicity, I would pay Rand a million dollars to host more Werewolf tournaments.

Want More Games? Come play poker at the tournament Thursday night!
