Ahh... The first Monday of the year. I love the feeling of potential in the air.
No Vegas for me this year. After MANY, MANY years of doing the grind (and especially after last year's "nothing but poker" festival, I decided that I wasn't going to waste near $4000 just to be in the same city as a bunch of people I will never meet up with. I met up with and spent way more time with people in Florida in a single day than I would in Vegas anytime during this show. I am sad not to see my friends and have a good time, but the price / return ratio on being in Vegas at the busiest 4 days of the year just didn't do it for me.
Good luck and safe trip to everyone who is attending, have one for me. I look forward to the pics and the stories... in the meantime, I have porn to make
