Thoughts of leaving Las Vegas. Don't want another Summer here. Get out of your car to pump gas and get back in sticking to your clothes. A climate for scorpions and the expansion of various yeasts. An ex-girlfriend's sister the only one I know besides myself with a bookshelf full of books.
Not sure where I'll go. Suggestions?
Returned to PH today for poker action. MTV VMA awards and Wisconsin/UNLV football game this weekend, so a busy time. The Duke sometimes calls me up to tell me about certain conventions coming into town, and how it'll make for great action at the tables. Like the rodeo is in town so let's play with crazy cowboys. But sometimes his suggestions don't make a lot of objective sense. Like the technology convention is in town so let's go play with the intelligent, patient(Duke:over-analytical, trying to unwind) players, or there's a poker bootcamp at MGM Grand (seriously, he said this) so let's go play with the guys who just got lessons from Lederer and Esfandiari (Duke: overly-tight and conventional) players.
Before I leave Vegas I want the Duke to follow through on the sidebet I challenged him to take. The Starbucks outside the poker room at PH is, according to casino employees, one of the busiest Starbucks locations in the world. The busiest time is the morning around 8 am. The line is like 40-deep. I want him to go there with a clipboard and hardhat, go to front of line, say, "Okay, folks! I'm gonna need everybody to take TWO STEPS BACK (making authoritative hand motions)!" Then get in front of line and order. Complaints? Bark back: "Hey, you got a problem? You can talk to Chalmers in 302!"

Well, obviously I'm a fan of Colorado, although I'm not sure you'd like it quite as much.
I think you'd really enjoy living in the SF bay area, and of course there are poker rooms there with NLHE (or close approximations to NLHE). The biggest downside is that renting (to say nothing of owning) is expensive there.
