A Concerned Wife

[user24788]

Jon Kalmar's wife called her husband over. She said something to the effect that his drunken friends were making him look bad. Over the last hour, they have been screaming, yelling, and even cursing while hands are in progress. They have not be escorted from the area, but Kalmar had to tell them to chill out a couple of times.

Aside from Kalmar's rowdy and drunken railbirds, it's been relatively quiet.
