Off the Grid
While I'm on vacation, it's time to take a magic carpet ride in the Tao of Poker time machine and re-visit the 2009 WSOP...
First of all, I took off 20 days last summer to follow Phish while researching an upcoming book about the band. During my time away from Vegas, I relied heavily on on the Tao All Stars, a collection of some of my favorite scribes, who contributed guest posts while I was gone. Check them out...

The 2010 coverage will feature old school Tao updates and daily recaps, not to mention a couple of innovative concepts. The Tao All Stars will make a triumphant return, and many of your favorite scribes will share their favorite WSOP stories that they can't publish anywhere else. I'm super happy that Change100 will be whipping up her scintillating fashion updates and I'm proud to announce that BJ Nemeth will be returning with a weekly version of The BJ Report as Tao of Poker's WSOP stat-guru.
Also, don't forget about the Tao of Pokerati podcasts, and bonus updates on Twitter (via @taopauly).
That's it for now. I'm slipping back into vacation mode, and when I return it's time for me to head to the front lines at the Rio and cover my sixth WSOP.
