Vegas--Craziness

First off where to start? Vegas is electric. I've been killing the tables. I've discovered 2-4 Limit and I've been on fire. I've probably cleared $100 3 or 4 times. I've only lost about $200 twice so I think I'm doing pretty good.

The Rio is just so impressive I get sweats walking in there. Somebody told me I had bingo wings so I've been flapping them a bit to keep the players I'm railbirding cool. I've run into a lot of fans who know me from my blog and I think it's great. A couple of kids were even sucking their thumbs in reference to the title of my blog. Some of the railbirds have confused me for the Read Deal Nessy but that's okay, I like the attention. I almost signed an autograph or two but the japanese guy was actually just showing me a map.

First of all, the Clubs here bring a smile to my face. I think someone once said, "A stripper under a spotlight is the apple of adam's eye." I hear that. Put me in the Garden of Eden and it'd be apple sauce for everyone. I'm enjoying Sapphire club when I go out tonight with Mona, Mischa, Montella, and Tiny Tina. I hope to have some pics up soon.

The Main Event is whittling down and Toby Maguire busted out. I was sad. I loved him in Brokeback Mountain. When he exited I railbirded him and told him I loved him. I think he said "Blog you!" He knows me. I might make a T-shirt that says "Blog U." Like it's a university or something. You could also do a "FU" one all college like too. I got that at the idea dump. That's a polite way of me saying it came to me when I was taking a dump. The name the idea dump actually came from the idea dump. Isn't that ironic, don't you think (Mariah Carey).

I will give you guys an update soon. The newsweek thing hasn't worked out but I'm talking to a couple of websites about cross-pollination right now. I think Cardplayer may make me a quasi-celebrity blogger so i'm pysched.

The real Vanessa Selbst

In response to one of my fan's questions I am not the real Vanessa Selbst, but I am real and Vanessa Selbst. Unless you know me from the 2+2 fourms (is that you SuckHeed?) and by real Vanessa Selbst you meant me , the famous blogger and the up and coming player/fan. On that note I want to say thanks for the emails of support folks, you guys have been the light in my tunnel. Without the fans I'd be not famous. Your light in the tunnel is not like the headlights of a train running me over either it's the bright lights of a truck.

I have trucker-ed in my time. Our motto has always been "I'm not here for a long time but I am here for the good time." That should be a motto people use to apply to life's lessons. I've certainly had my fair share of truckstop prossies, and while a good night can often be measured by the thickness of the mac truck imprint on the folds between my shoulders, the best things in life can't be found on the side of the road, even if you eat roadkill, life is best experienced in the journey of life because life is a freeway and I'm going to be ridden all night long (Dave Matthews).

First things First, Some of you were alert enough to let me know the Newsweek thing might be a scam. And the Nigerian prince might not be a prince either but I'm checking with my lawyers, but the good news is I'm in the midst of a bidding war beween the two www.GulfCoastPoker.net s to write for them at the world series. If they have their logo in flannels or golf hats or floaties for my bingo wings I might even wear it at the World Series.

Just kidding Kev and Gene. Really another website is going to link to my blog and get my WSOP coverage, Verticalsmilepoker.com. I don't know if they are trademarked yet, so Kev maybe another opportunity for you there. Anyway, I'll get the hotel but they said they'll get me a buffet for every event I play in and later write about. So, C.S. I guess I'll see you in Vegas. I'll post a note on your blog, maybe we can meet and eat out.
