Vegas Day 1: Half-baked Recap

Here are my notes from my first day in Vegas with the bloggers!

• Derek and I were on the same JetBlue flight with F Train.
• I was in the last row by the bathroom.
• Derek watched Porky's and I watched The OC, college hoops, and Trey Anastasio Band on Jay Leno.
• Iggy and Grubby picked us up at the airport after we arrived at 10:30pm local time.
• We headed to Imperial Palace and I tipped the front desk chick $100 for a room upgrade.
• We got a balcony with a Strip view. I can see the Mirage, Ceaser's and the Bellagio.
• Headed to Excalibur and first saw Otis.
• Played $2-6... here's the lineup:

Seat 1: Travis
Seat 2: Pauly
Seat 3: Gracie then Iggy
Seat 4: Derek
Seat 5: Ryan
Seat 6: GRob
Seat 7: Dr. Jeff
Seat 8: Gamecock
Seat 9: Obie

• I donked off about $80. Grubby played at a table with on_thg, Iggy, BG, Maudie, and Sox Lover.
• Met Joanne and SoxLover for the first time.
• Saw everyone else... both Aprils, Heather, Eva, AlCantHang, Chadarama, Lewey, CJ, BadBlood, Drizz, JoeSpeaker, DrChacko, Chilly, Pablo, Marty, BigMike, Brian, Bill, and others who I am drawing a blank. Sorry if I forgot to mention ya.
• Was in Vegas less than 3 hours before I heard a Lewy bad beat story. He cracked A-A with J-6 at MGM.
  
• Played until 5am and headed back to IP.
• Daddy called from Indiana on his way to the airport.
  
• Saw HDouble, Ephro, and BG playing blackjack.
• Just got up around 1pm. Waiting for Daddy and Jaxia to arrive.
