In the middle of the desert, they placed a city

6:16 AM. Hotel room. The Mirage. Las Vegas. I'm at the Mirage. That may have been a mistake from earlier. Not Caesar's. A lot of activity the past few days but I am too damn beat to recount it all now. I have $10,000 less on me than I did when I arrived. It was good to finally get to the cashier's cage and hand that over. That would have been an all-time boner had something happened to that cash.

Table Blue 14, Seat 9. Those are the particulars come 12:00 on Sunday. 20,000 in chips, blinds start at 50 and 100. And each level is two hours long. Man, that is a great structure. I walked around in the tournament area today and being there just felt right. I wasn't a bright eyed kid in a land of candy canes and unicorns. It was a comfortable stroll I took around the room. I'm as ready as I've ever been. Let's see if I can catch lightning.

Also, my room is pretty sick. Spacious, flat screen TV, two extremely comfortable beds (well, I've only laid in one of them). It's absurdly hot outside, 110 degrees or so I think it reached yesterday. Air conditioning, you my only friend. I think I'm gonna put my head to the pillow for a bit.
