vegas bound ✈

2492413183_e4cc49be1e In just two short weeks, I will be boarding a plane for Las Vegas. I have honestly lost count of how many times I have been there, at least ten, I am sure. I mention in my profile, that I like to play pool, but that may be a bit of an understatement. It is really more like my second job. I play at the highest amateur level and have even played in one pro event, which I won an entry into. I love it and every year there is this huge event in Vegas that draws me and thousands of other pool players.


It all happens at the retro-fabulous Riviera, which has recently been remodeled, I will report on the updates, when I am there. Last trip, I made numerous walking trips up and down the strip, to get my Starbucks fix. I often went just after the sun came up, as I was not able to get my body clock to understand it should reset for -3 hours. I took a Sony Cybershot with me, to document my trip. 2490988898_6bdf727192 2496818969_589e0a7907 The Trump building at different times of day, seemed to turn and change size[/caption] [caption id="attachment_502" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption="This was all that remained of the Frontier, no sentiment in the LV"]This was all that remained of the Frontier, no sentiment in the LV[/caption] [caption id="attachment_496" align="aligncenter" width="375" caption="I am hoping this construction is completed and a shiny, CLOSER, Starbucks is in my future."]I am hoping this construction is completed and a shiny, CLOSER, Starbucks is in my future.[/caption] [caption id="attachment_511" align="aligncenter" width="260" caption="Yeah baby!"]Yeah baby! The Trump building at different times of day, seemed to turn & change size.

Hey! My sister (melissa aka borsabella) has been raving about you and finally gave me a link to your blog(:

We apparently have a TON in common....well...except the pool thing. I'm more of a poker gal.

You are AWESOME!

So excited to read your archives(:

Cheers!

I just wanted to tell you how much I love your blog (so much so that I've included it in my blogroll). You are really, truly talented, and your pictures tell a new story every day. And on top of that, you play pool to boot!

I found your blog via your recent profile on SFgirlbybay's profile. Your house, your photos, your talent -- and your blog name-- already make you too cool. But the amateur pool playing?! That knocks me out!

Good luck! Can't wait to see the post-Vegas posts & pics.
