Yep, It happened, I managed to secure passage to Vegas for the WPBT guilt free. Though a combination of Haitian Voodoo, mind altering drugs, and a lot of begging, the wife is allowing me to head to Vegas. I know, it sounds whipped cause it is. When you are in a marriage with kids, you have to make sacrifices, concessions, and relinquish a little part of your ego. That also happens to be the gift you receive. Its hard to explain but totally worth it. Anywho, I'm heading out on the 9th and coming back the 13th. I need to see if anyone is looking for a last-longer teammate, so hit me up. I'm terribly excited to go to my first Vegas blogger gathering and only my 2nd trip to vegas ever.
In 2003 I went to Vegas with a friend in the neighborhood. He was going for a conference and offered a room. I remember sitting down and playing blackjack for about 9 hrs. We didn't make it to the room until the 2nd day and I was in the hole. I somewhat remember getting asked to leave the Bellagio at one point. We rallied the next day playing 2/5 limit and betting football and horses. My buddy hit a longshot winner and handed me a wad of cash at some point that evening. Later we went to see the delertianers and played 20/hand blackjack. Somehow I managed to leave the 3rd day with some money left, good times.
I'm looking forward to seeing the bloggers again, and meeting some for the 1st time. People looking for last longer partner email me or leave a comment.

Awesome. Can't wait.
Hey,
I'm in for the last longer if you still need a teammate. Got the room booked at Harrah's now have to book my flights. In on the 8th, out on the 13th. I'll be easy to recognize, I'm the fat, old, crippled fart with the wolfshead earring
BTW,
my first Vegas get together also. Met a number of these great people at Al's bash a couple years ago at the start of my blogging escapades and will be good to meet others. See you there
Cool Wolshead, I'll keep looking for one more. I'm sure I'll be able to find you.
I see someone tapping their foot in a post above yours on the Facebook page. Think it's Drizz. Could be he's looking for a spot.
23,
did you get a third yet? If it becomes necessary my nephew may be playing, somehow I got conned in to dragging him along, but as I'll probably have to front his action for the game I'd rather not be posting a last longer bet unless absolutely necessary but he is a possible fail safe.
Not yet. Worst case scenario we can recruit someone Thursday or Friday.

Glad you are making the trip! See ya there!
Looking at the L33 post and the team names. if you ain't got one yet how about Team Who Gives A Flyin'?
Brian, I got your comment on my blog (finally). I am supposed to team up with BrainMc for the last longer, although we have only chatted about it once on Twitter and I need to confirm with him. I will let you know if for some reason I am available for your team, and you haven't found a third.
