Waiting on WSOP Event 2

A couple of things/observations as Event 2 is about to begin:

-- USA Today last year had a WSOP Preview Special Section the Friday the '08 WSOP opened. This year no WSOP special section yet, either for the first event Wednesday (Casino Employees) or the first big event today. Hmm. Bad economy and not wanting to rub the event in the faces of folks hurting for money? Advertising costs? Waiting for Friday's USA, better space and value than a mid-week paper? Does this mean the WSOP entries will be way down across the board? Hmmmmm...

-- It was frustrating last summer that I had to go through the Full Tilt game software and cashier to get to the contest. That cost me when I went to Vegas: No changes makeable, no prizes claimable. This year wonder of wonders I put a bookmark to the My Fantasy page in my new Mozilla Firefox browser and it's worked everytime! Hurrah!!! Today I tried cut-and-pasting-and favoritizing that address over in my AOL/MIE. It didn't work; it took me instead to Full Tilt's contest explanation page, not the contest itself. Some sort of re-router in MIE? Yuck. Another huge vote for and thank you to Firefox; hope it keeps working so well!

What else is new? What are you thinking? I wish I was in Vegas... :(
