The City that REALLY Never Sleeps

I'm headed back to Vegas tomorrow night, staying at the Excalibur, the same place Will and I stayed during his AAU tournament nine summers ago. That was my first trip to Vegas, and on the last night I pulled an all nighter and ended up with $150. I was so excited I ran back to the room where Will was just waking up to play his final game. When I saw him I yelled, "I've got this!" (and showed him the $50 bill) "AANNNNDDD THIS!!" (and showed him the $100 bill). We still get a kick out of it today... how huge that was back then. Now I'm about to put up $1k of my own money in a tourney with about a 75% chance that I won't get any of it back. And I'm fucking excited.....

The end of Ocean's Eleven is on right now. I really like this movie, and the scene outside by the Bellagio watching the fountains makes me smile every time. So many memories by that fountain, in that hotel, in that city. Here's hoping the best one is ahead of me.

Next update from the Excalibur.

Goodbye to You.....
