WSOP 2006 - TP's Updates...

[Talking Poker]

I saw the Battleship thing... it looked kinda lame (at a glance).

The Poker Expo thing is really cool though - I spent quite a while there today and will likely go back again tomorrow. It's fun for me as a player (lots of free stuff), but it's also a great place to network as an affiliate. It's fun putting names with faces too. I mean, who knew the girl from PKR who has emailed me so many times was so cute???

Tonight is the UB party. I'm taking my friend Tim who I am staying with and also meeting up with Zybomb and taking him nd his friend too. I called 2Tone to see if he was here yet, but didn't hear back. I have 6 passes in total though, so if he does show up, he's in.

BTW - huge props to UB. they have a sweet suite, with food, drinks, etc in the VIP area for the people who won Main Event packages through them. They also gave me a nice duffle bag full of UB gear, including a jersey. They even have a dude on scene doing personalized embroidery - Anyone who has a UB account can get their name (or whatever) sewn on a free UB hat. Well done - this is a HUGE step up over how they treated their players in Aruba.

Oh, the Celebrity/Media event was tonight. This was my first time NOT playing in it... I was majorly bummed. Celebs I saw: Jennifer Tilly (we chatted for a minute), Cindy Margolis (looking very plasticy, I might add), Norm MacDonald, Robby Gordon, Anthony Michael Hall, James Garner, etc... I hate that I didn't get to play this year.

Ok, time to get ready for the party - meeting Zy in less than an hour.
