cars alongside other well-known graffiti artists. Since 2007 Kaláb has
experimented with abstractions on canvas, earning him solo exhibitions
in Argentina, Germany, Paris, London, New York, and Miami. The Polasek

and an original installation.

The Orlando Shuffle.

Posted on by Thor

Shuffleboard is free at Orlando’s Beardall Courts, (800 Delaney Avenue Orlando FL) each month on the 1st and 3rd Saturdays of each month from 7PM to 9PM. I challenged Pam Schwartz to a game figuring I have an advantage as an artist given my eye and hand coordination. I got off to a great start taking a lead but then slipped back as Pam warmed up. I lost by a humbling amount. I tried to erase the chalkboard score but I was held back as a photo was taken of the score. I can claim ignorance and a short memory as I gloss over the score.

At a Tacky Tourist event at the Orange County Regional History Center a shuffleboard court was set up on the floor of the museum lobby. That game I won as Pam teamed up with Whitney Broadaway‘s daughter. It wasn’t a full court, but I am sure Rick Kilby set it up to the official specifications. For some reason Pam refuses to accept this clear victory and perhaps a rematch is needed.

The bottom line is that shuffleboard is some free fun, so get out and give it a try.
