I am currently consuming a chunky strawberry topper from Jamba Juice in the airport (awesomeee) in NYC while waiting to make my connecting flight to Los Angeles. I'm going there for a long weekend (Thurs-Sun) to meet up with Taylor, Wiggins, Scott (iRock), and the rest of the gang. It will be great to see everyone as it will be the first time since Vegas (well except Scott whom I met up with at Lollapalooza in August). Only 3 months but it feels like so long! The main reason for the trip is a Halloween Party on Saturday at the Playboy Mansion, which I am super excited about. It is costumes mandatory and I am going as Buzz Lightyear, a solid, humorous, and now relevant (Toy Story 3 next summer!) choice imo. I'm excited to see everyone else's costumes, both my friends and the bunnies. I have a feeling I will like many of them. I'm also very excited that I get to do Halloween twice this year since this party is on the 24th and I'll be back at Cornell for the real Halloween weekend. Not sure if I'm going to use the same costume twice or go with a second one for next weekend. Hopefully I will have a choice as last year my chicken costume did not make it through Halloween night unscathed...
I'm excited for the rest of the weekend in LA too. Taylor already booked us a reservation for Katsuya tonight. Last year when we went to LA I went there with him and Wiggins and the food was excellent. I haven't had top notch sushi since the summer so I am very much looking forward to it. I'm not sure what we're doing on Friday but I'm sure that will be fun too.
In other news, this week's WSOP coverage on ESPN featured lots of both of my friends who made it deep in the tourney, Jon Tamayo and Joe Ward. I fired up my DVR last night and watched the 2 episodes, and I think both of the guys came off decently. Unfortunately, most of Joe's televised hands were either him getting owned by Phil Ivey or his cruel bustout hand where he gets 3 outed, but he played a great tournament. Jon played great as well, minus the hand where he ATMs it up with AK vs Billy Kopp's trips. Just kidding, Jon (maybe)! As a side benefit of watching Jon I got to see Leo Margets sitting next to him. That woman is legit hot, not even just poker hot. There was a thread on 2p2 about her and some posters said she was a real world 4, which is just totally ridiculous. If there is a place on earth where she's a 4, take me there ASAP. She's an 8 imo.
It's currently 7:50am EST. I woke up at 11am yesterday and haven't slept a minute since. Somehow, I'm still not really tired at all. This is weird. Hopefully I sleep some on the cross country flight, but if not at least I get to enjoy 6 hours or so of JetBlue TV/XM/movies. JetBlue really is the nuts in the airline industry, but you probably already knew that. Anyway, it's time to board soon, I'll try to remember to write up a trip report early next week after I get back. Good luck everyone and enjoy your weekends!
