Its been a busy couple of weeks. First, Monica and Helena’s new place opened, so the tall lady has been quite busy slinging drinks and managing the bar. Then I got on a plane and headed out west for BCA Nationals with Keven, Alexis, Rob and Brent. While I was there, my buddy Samm dognapped me and introduced me to a bunch of her friends including the very sweet Yu Ram Cha.

I even got to sit front and center to watch some of my new friends win some dough in the finals. Cristina De La Garza, Gail Glazebrook and Borana Andoni (the nice ladies I met at the Poison booth a couple months ago) all took home winners checks.

I didn’t spend the entire time at the booth and with Samm though. Keven gave me a day off, so I got to head out to the pool, catch a few rays and work on tanning my belly.

After catching some rays on my day off, I hit the tables, got in on a few hot rollers and got paid.

Still working on getting all the pictures from Vegas up on the site, but I should have them all up in the next week or so.
I am seriously beat. That Samm girl had us running around all weekend, but we did have a blast seeing old friends and meeting some new ones. First off was a stop at the Poison booth to visit with my pal Cristina De La Garza:

She’s so nice to me. No rest for the weary though, as our next stop was at the Mezz booth to say hi to Sarah Rousey, Caroline Pao and Amateur champ Ming Ng:

I always like seeing my little buddy Sarah and meeting Caroline and Ming was a blast. From there, it was on to see this year’s champions Mr. 400 John Schmidt and Allison Fisher:

I’m heading back to Atlanta to recuperate for a few days, then I hop back on a plane with the tall lady to hit the WPBA San Diego Classic. If you want to see all the pictures, just head over to the Facebook page or check out the photos on Flickr.
Ok, I’m beat. Going to a show like this with Samm is quite an experience. Apparently she knows everyone (and I do mean everyone), because damn were we busy yesterday.
First stop was the airport where we ran into our buddy Nicole Keeney (who kicked some serious ass in the WPBA regionals in February btw).

After a long flight to Philly, we unpacked, got our media pass and started walking the floor. After a few hours, I looked a bit like a well traveled piece of luggage with all those patches.

Then it was off to see some old friends and meet some new ones. I wasn’t sure how many familiar faces I’d see, so needless to say I was pretty jazzed to see my favorite little heartbreaker Sarah Rousey.

Too many photos to talk about now, but for the rest of the Day 1 action, check out our Facebook page or the Flickr stream.
