i think the only other post i made was a trip report of las vegas when i was there for a month this past summer. so it only makes sense that i follow it up with another poker related trip report (or at least trip report preview), as well as a heads up to why i wont be living at the brom for the next month. my friend bill and i planned a 1 month trip to LA to play poker at the commerce casino during the Los Angeles Poker Classic (LAPC)
i flew out of logan airport in boston yesterday (monday 2/11) at 8am (red eye, imo) after not getting any sleep the night before because i feared i would sleep through my flight. on monday morning it was about 10 degrees outside when i stepped out of bloom's car and at that point i was unsure of whether i could make it all the way inside the airport. the good 15 second walk from the car to the check in building almost proved too much... luckily, i survived. the plane was pretty uneventful, pretty much me going in and out of sleep for ~6hrs while watching sportscenter about 4.5 times.
when i finally arrived at the long beach airport i was ready to get in a cab and fall asleep asap. to my surprise, we deplaned right onto the runway (guess that's what they do in warm weather places, who knew!) and it was gorgeous weather- 75 and perfectly clear skies. i waited a while for my bags then got in a cab and we found our way to my apartment.
i signed all the lease stuff when i got there and moved my bags up to my room and remembered that the place was unfurnished and that the furniture guys weren't coming for another "3-6 hours". my friend bill, who set this all up, told me earlier that our internet wasn't going to be available til thursday and he wasn't going to be here himself til late tuesday night with his car, so i was dreading having to entertain myself for the next day+ w/o tv, internet, a car, any knowledge of my surroundings, or friends in the area (not to mention no furniture for the next few hours). luckily i turned on my laptop and found a wireless network with no password and a great signal so i've been using that to pass the time away. the furniture guys actually came at a decent time and they were done moving stuff in by 5:45pm. i flopped on the bed at about 6pm...woke up the next day around 1pm, i can only assume that's what gary feels like all the time.
today i got up, ate some cereal that i bought from the store yesterday, and played a session online (+$4.3k on the trip so far). now i'm just waiting for bill to come so we can go buy some more stuff for the apt. and then probably go check out the commerce casino tonight. hopefully the trip goes well like the vegas one did and i can tell some cool stories about how i stacked celebrities or pro athletes. wish me luck, hope everything goes well back at tufts while i'm gone.
ps. skye get off my couch and go take a shower.
also, anyone playing halo in my room, please clean up after you're done so i dont have to come back to more of a shithole than it was when i left it

GO MONEY
Just in case you were worries Dub, While I was living in your room the last few days I cleaned it up and then made Skye take his dishes with him when he left. So far, this is going well and the room is pretty clean considering what it once looked like. We'll see how long it lasts.
Also, when are you coming home since I need to plan accordingly for how long I can keep being a refugee in your room.
haha, nice. i think i'm coming back around march 7th or so, i need to change my ticket so i'm not sure when exactly. i expect you guys to greet me with a controller waiting for me on the couch
