OK, I am back. Promise at least one post a day from here until December (would say end-of-year, but with a trip and holidays, I can't guarantee month 12). Even if it's just a sentence or 4, I'll get something out.
My primary inspiration is that plans are finally stepping up on the World Poker Blogger Tour annual gathering the first weekend of December in Las Vegas. Much more info popping up in the related Facebook groups, including organizers starting to plan last-longer teams for the big Saturday event at Aria. Gotta find teammate(s). If anyone will have this forgetful old codger. Gotta figure how to get in touch with people. Hope Al and Pauly and CK and the oldtimers attend. I haven't been to WPBT gather in almost a decade...
Before my week in Vegas is a weekend at the Archon 40 Convention in Collinsville, IL, Sept. 30-Oct. 2. Second time I've attended it, this time going for a fuller experience. Look forward to many writing and editing tips at workshops, plus all the parties and dances and cosplayers and gamers and Marvel comics maniacs. And a Rocky Horror show the Friday night. I need this break.
Then back to poker and Vegas planning. My goal this trip (besides lining up a job writing sports book tickets for William Hill, Caesars or someone) is to improve on the 4th-place, $800 cash in a Golden Nugget bounty tournament on my Fourth of July trip to Sin City (I love that town!).
I'll be staying at the Stratosphere. Finally getting some good communications from the Strat folks about my stay; hate being ignored or given a runaround.
Thinks are mostly looking up ...
