Day 1 Blogger Adventures

I'm not even sure where to begin. I guess I'll just dig in. The first person I had the pleasure of meeting was Iakaris. Him and MiamiDon were hanging out at the MGM Poker Room playing NLHE so I stopped by before work to say "hello". I snapped this picture of Ikey while he was playing.



Notice how extremely good looking Iakaris is. I think most of the ladies here would agree - especially Jules and Kat because we had a 20 minute conversation about how easy on the eyes he is. I'm not sure why he's wasting his time in a dead-end profession as a doctor, when he could clearly be a super-model.

After work ended on Friday I headed back to the poker room to meet up with all of the bloggers. Half of them were sitting at various tables playing Horse or holdem and the other half were over in the sports book drinking at the bar. I met Hoyazo who had an awesome story to tell about his adventures over at the WSOP. Check out his blog for a full re-cap. I ran over to the bar and met Jules, Kat, Change 100, Poker Poison, Garthmeister, Pauly, Pauly's brother, and Iggy. I was really really wondering if Iggy was a little person. I wasn't allowed to take any pictures of him, so I'll just let you guys come to the next blogger convention to find out for yourselves.

I finally got a call from the famous Waffles and he was upstairs unpacking in his room. I told him to get his butt down to the poker room because I was dying to meet him. He recognized me right away (probably because of all the pictures I've posted) and he came up to me as I was watching the HORSE game. He's an awesome guy. We had a lot of fun together. We went off to a table (after putting our names on a long ass waiting list) to play NLHE. He even let me rub his head - notice I'm wearing a white tank top for him...



These are my girls - Jules on the left and Kat on the right...



Garthmeister, Waffles and Don (notice how short Garth and Don are)...



I was also lucky enough to meet Grubby. We have this whole penny slot obsession thing in common. Since Grubby lives here and Pauly practically lives here, I am hoping to meet up with them later in the week when I actually have a few days off.

Well, that's my Day 1 recap. Stay tuned for Day 2 - Blogger Tourney, my adventures in sitting next to Michael Craig and various other exciting blogger tidbits.
