Vegas Summer '08 Prequel

Just a little more than 24 hours and I'll be winging my way to Sin City. Finally!! So much going on, so much still to do, but things will change once I'm on that plane for the rest of June in Vegas. Aaaahhhh.

Don't know if I'll be able to get internet access out there (no laptop, no cel, I'm old and old-fashioned). I'll try to post updates here, and PROMISE a big report when (IF) I come back. Meanwhile, here's the teaser I planted in Suited Pockets Forum (they're one reason I extended my stay to the 30th, their convention is June 26-29 downtown):

"Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to help cure the young old man of his shyness and add to his "happy?" memories of Vegas Summer '08. The target: middle-aged needs-sun-badly male almost always wearing bucket hat, either black leather or gray/blue WSOP or red StL, plus glasses on a cord (hasn't lost a pair in 11 years!). Usually found at poker tables or penny slots or chasing women/girls/anything that moves, with pen or sudoku or magazine in hand or shoulder bag to make sure there's always something to do. Answers to "shamanalix" or "sham" or "Bruce Williams" or "want to make an easy $20?". Approach with caution as can be dangerous if hungry or horny or losing or winning or breathing; but his madness is not contagious ... sometimes. The password is: "Call it for a quarter: heads or tails?" This tape will self-destruct and the fun begins with landing in Vegas in less than 36 hours; then June is busting out all over (with sham helping her, and trying to talk April and May into joining the pile...)."

So that's where we stand. Just crashed from Carbon (Merge) Father's Day Special in 160th/376. Went all in when my 8's became a set on the flop, but foe turned straight and I couldn't pair the board. Ah, well, played good, and now comes the weekend's last Big One in 9 minutes: OFC's World Series of Online Forums Main Event, with a WSOP ME seat to the winner. It's a $50+$5 game; I satellited in, and there are only about 150 enterred.

Time to get the poker on. More later...
