Knock their eyeballs out BWS. May the handicap Lords shine down upon you with a few longshots.

Over 33 races over 3 days, I sure hope they send me more than a few

I'll be reporting daily, of course.

Damn man, Im so happy for you. My day off is going real well for me, and for others too, obviously.
There are two things I want to do before I die. Cash in the World Series of Poker, and qualify for the HPWS. Hopefully I can accomplish them. Hard work does pay off, as Im sure you know. Congrats again.

Brian,

Nice effort, good luck in Vegas. Watch for deals on rooms as it gets closer, if they aren't booked you can get last minute rooms really cheap.

B-Dub,

I try to qualify tomorrow at Canterbury. I'll have another chance in December if tomorrow doesn't work. So if I'm lucky enough to get out there we'll definately have to grab some drinks. I'll keep ya posted

Unless you're talking about upgrading somewhere else, I think when you qualify for the HWS they provide accomodations. That's at least the way it is for the Canterbury qualifiers. It's air, hotel, and entry to the contest.

P.S. to DDtheTide- TY for the support.

I forgot to congratulate you Dispencer.






My only suggestion....


....ditch the eyeliner out there.






Many in Las Vegas will take that as a false positive.

Hawthorne just gave me cash for the travel expenses, each tourney may be different on how they take care of you. Hopefully you'll end up out there, it'd be great to not be in a room of 700+ unfamiliar people!

Thank you. I just used my eyeliner pencil to scratch out the note "bring eyeliner to Vegas" on my things to do list.
