LOL, so I got bored and started to look around on the internet. Saw that the p5's open had started so I late regged and ended up binking it for $3.1k. I ran super hot most of the tourney which made it quite nice. I like how this is the first tourney I played in a while and I win it. Guess this makes up some of the shitty days when I'd reg everything from 2 to 830.
Mizzou vs Illinois is tonight at 730pm central. Mizzou got fucked by the BCS last year and I hope we can get into a BCS game this year, but it all starts with tonight. Being a Mizzou sports fan is to be constantly disappointed so I won't really be surprised if we lose, but I really want to have a sweat for a big game after winning this important matchup.
So I was in London this weekend, and I decided to go to Wimbledon. Here our my best photos.
Here's the queue to get in:
As soon as I got in I saw Lleyton Hewitt warming up
I managed a seat to Mario Ancic and Fernando Verdasco
He was up 2 sets so I left, but I got closer and took this pic
I was outside centre court while Federer and Hewitt were going into tiebreak and I saw a super close doubles match between Dlouhy and Daes and Parrot and Polasek.
That was the majority of good pictures I was able to take.
Here's my best picture of Henman Hill
I also almost ran into Petrova under one of the stands, and I also saw set point between Zheng and her competitor. All in all a great time in London.
I decided to start a little blog here to outline the highlights of my trip for the journal I eventually have to write for class so I don't know how much poker I'll talk about, but this trip is poker financed
So I'm spending the summer in Derry, Northern Ireland taking a couple of classes and traveling about on the weekends. I went to Paris the first weekend and had a lot of fun doing a bunch of touristy shit. This past weekend I went to Dublin which was just okay because it just seemed like Chicago or some other non descript city. So after two days there I headed to Galway which was gorgeous and it actually felt like I was in Ireland. A few of us stayed in a bed and breakfast instead of a hostel for a change and it was like staying with grandma, just totally awesome. Great pubs and clubs I definitely want to go back.
This weekend I'm going to London and staying in a hostel right next to Hyde Park. A few people that I'm staying with are going to the Clapton concert in the park but I don't have a ticket yet and not sure if I want to go. Any suggestions from you Londoners on where to go while I'm there would be helpful. After London I'm only in Europe for a few more days before I fly back to the States with a short stop in Missouri before continuing to Vegas to hang out with Blair and Mig. Don't know how much money I'll have to play after nearly busto-ing my account to pay for this little european jaunt.
I'll probably upload some pics when I'm not hungover which could be a while because we're having a euro 08 watch party tonight.
