Last weekend I spent a hellish afternoon in 90+ degree heat at the Desert Hills Premium Outlets near Morongo Casino. And no, I didn’t play.

The heat, the drive, and some general life iffiness made me pretty sure I’d miss this WPBT gathering. However, some prodding from Absinthe, the news that the Lone Gunner was coming, and some last minute deal rates at the MGM Grand conspired to convince me and the s.o. that it’d be worth the trek out there. Plus I hear there’s an overlay.

So if you get bad beat by a cute Asian girl at Caesars… well, let’s just say I taught her everything she knows. With any luck, you’ll be able to recognize me based on the photo to the right.
