2006 WSOP Poker Tournament in Five Months + the Nines
Everything at the WSOP store at the Rio that has '2005' in the logo is 70% off.
I received an e-mail with a 'Top Nine List' from my friend and fellow poker tournament photographer (and he regulary photographs the richest guy in the world) and blogger, Curtis Krumel. Curtis came to Las Vegas for the Bellagio's Festa al Lago Poker Touranment last October. With pen and pad and a professional digital camera, Curtis artfully documented all of the action of the event while working with Dr Pauly and me (He also covered for me to take some much needed time off). He provided all of his notes and photos to the Prof's blog and we are most grateful. Curtis spent a long stretch of time in Las Vegas before returning to his home and work in Charlotte, North Carolina. Recently he sent a Top Nine List of ways to know you spent too much time in Las Vegas. Thanks again for everything and the Nines list. This week's Nines List...
9. You wonder what happened to the shoe shine guy in the men's room.
8. You catch yourself scanning the cafeteria for hookers.
7. It's 5:30 and you wonder why everybody is going home.
6. You are disappointed that you can't get shrimp or crab legs at the 'buffet'.
5. The only Elvis impersonator is Pilipino and there is only ONE.
4. Boss is real tired of poker references in business meetings ("We need to go all-in to make this deal.").
3. You are surprised to wake up refreshed.
2. You hang out in front of the office waiting for the valet.
1. Oh, so THAT'S the sun!
Thanks to Curtis Krumel and his specialksplace.blogspot.com blog.
