'Last Call Poker' celebrates cemeteries

I see nothing whatsoever disrespectful about this - in fact, were I a poker player, I would've been honored to participate! Only by remembering the dead can we honor them, and honoring our ancestors is honoring ourselves.

All in all events like this one are a good first step towards recovering our connections to the past, and the people who have walked this world before us.

When around 60 people convened on the Hollywood Forever cemetery here Saturday for the finale of the alternate reality game "Last Call Poker," it may not have seemed to some observers as the most respectful thing to do.
