Tuesday Vegas Prep

My latest preparations for Vegas:

  • Got a haircut (see below)
  • Watched a couple episodes of CSI

Pauly calls me the Jerry Lundegaard of poker bloggers. Let’s see:

Note the shiny new hair cut and lame attempt to hide chin #2 (these self taken pics never look quite right). Oh, that was taken with my new digital camera that I got just in time for the trip (Canon SD400).

Anyway, that’s what I look like. That may help a bit to those of you who are going. For a couple more, including Drizz and Chad, see the couple pics from the ACHE Minneapolis Tour - Winter 2005.

So I’m sitting on the deck enjoying the day off. It’s 80 and sunny here today. Beautiful. I’m checked out already. Wednesday I go to the bank and get my “roll”. I’ll be under rolled compared to what Pauly says is the right amount, but I’m bringing all I’m comfortable losing.

Anyway…I did a little housework, nothing like cleaning the siding and grill for fun, did my homework, and basically sat on the deck enjoying the outside.

8:00AM CDT Thursday can’t get here quickly enough. That flight is fine, albeit a bit early to get across town, but the real killer? The 10AM flight home on Sunday. Oh man, that one will suck. Badly.

    I look at those pictures from January, and boy do I look hungover/already drunk. That’s exactly what I’ll look like in Vegas, I’m sure.

    My ski pole arms are at least covered by my Vikes jersey. I still don’t understand how I can hit a softball 400 feet.

    I’m getting in around 6-7 at the Plaza, will have wifey’s cell phone on once I hit the ground. See ya then Chris :)

    I just bought the SD200 this weekend :-)

    I have a Canon Rebel DSLR and an Olympus 5050 but those seem way too bulky to take to an event like this. So I needed something slim with decent picture quality. I thought about the SD400 but . . . wasn’t sure it was worth it to me considering that if I was going for higher quality pics I should be using a different camera.

    I’m wheels up around 7pm tonight. Give me a ring when you get into town.

    I’ll say hello if I see you around the Luxor.
    Good luck.

    That would be your accomplice in the wood chipper, ya?
