Vegas Checklist

I was going to post about my performance in the Grublog II tourney, but busting out 32nd out of 34 players can be best summed up in only a few words.



Dumb, dumb, dumb.



With that out of the way, I've been thinking about what I need to accomplish during my first ever trip to Vegas. Here are some mandatory requirements, in no particular order:



* Share a shot of SoCo with AlCantHang

* Place a real live legal gambling wager on an NFL game with BoyGenius

* Play in the WPBT Holiday classic and don't be dumb, dumb, dumb

* Go out drinking with the Brothers McGrupp - Pauly and Derek

* Play in some NLHE ring games with Otis who shall remind me that I'm a late finisher (read: multiple buy-ins)

* Buy Ant MaudieB a drink of her choice

* Play poker at the Bellagio

* Avoid the emergency room and local police station

* Proudly wear my WPBT shirt

* Proudly wear my It's Hammer Time shirt - I'm going sleeveless

* Win a mid-sized tournament, ask to be paid in $1 dollar bills and go to Club Paradise

* Relax at the Excalibur pool and hope it's bikini tops optional day

* Compile a kernel with the Poker Professor

* Find a Razz table and play some with Felicia

* Get Tom McEvoy to sign his book without geeking out

* Meet the other bloggers who can make it so I can put a face to a name



Now for some questions:



* Should I bring my laptop so I/others can blog while there?

* Should I bring my iPod to listen to music while playing poker?

* Should I bring my digital camera? (probably)

* Should I bring a change of clothes?



Can't wait, can't wait, can't wait!!!
