The Final Countdown

The giddiness, the anticipation, the outright terror of the poker blogosphere is reaching a fever pitch in anticipation of this weekend's tournament/convention/bacchanalia at Sam's Town in Las Vegas.

I can only manage to wade through the thick haze of my envy and quote my buddy Red to offer glad tidings and good cards to those of you lucky enough to be going:

"I'm so excited I can barely sit still or hold a thought in my head. I think it's the excitement only a free man can feel, a free man at the start of a long journey whose conclusion is uncertain..."

Have a time, folks.
