Matt and I wanted to meet up and discuss a few projects for work.
I'm in Newport and he's in San Diego so we figured Las Vegas was probably the closest place for us to meet in the middle. We headed out there for a couple days (and brought a few friends).
We stayed at Vegas' best kept secret
We stopped by The Rio on Saturday to check out the World Series of Poker. When you think about it, this is really the only 'sport' where any nobody off the street can pay $10,000 and play against professionals and have the whole thing televised on ESPN. Plus, it's poker, so with very little talent and a lot of luck you have the chance to become a millionaire. Talk about 'living the dream'...
Seat 2 is Peter Eastgate, seat 6 is Joe Hachem
Seat 9, Phil Ivey
All of these guys are covered, head to toe, in logos for their sponsors. Matt and I decided we'll have to play in the World Series one year, show up dressed completely in 0484CREATIVE gear and write the entry fees off as a promotional expense. Plus, when you consider the fact that there is like $8 million up for grabs for first place, it's really more of an 'investment' than anything else.
It was about 108ยบ all weekend so we finally headed back to California. If only there was some place closer for Matt and I to meet up...
