Busy Day
On Sunday, we found ourselves running hard and strong all day long. We started our day at Howard Lederer's house for a video shoot. The interviews and commentary is to be played at the Full Tilt hospitality suite during the WSOP. David Gray was already there when we arrived... so were Howard's three dogs. They quickly hit paydirt in the attention and petting arena. Before I new it, Natalie had perched herself on the chaise lounge in Howard's living room, with a 60 pound bassett hound lying on her feet and two pugs named Dixie and Goober lavishing her with kisses. David gave his interview without interruption. My interview did not go so well. I think everyone in Las Vegas decided to call during my filming session. Then Steve Brecher came over and one of the dogs did not like Steve, and was not afraid to let it be known. Finally, we got it done with about an hour to spare before our next photo and video shoot.
About 4pm, we headed to the Bellagio for a Poker Royalty shoot. They took video of me and photos of both Natalie and me. Wendy from Poker Royalty introduced me to a guy from Minnesota named Chuck. Chuck told me he was a big fan; and wanted to know what brand of hat I wore. When I told him Resitol, his eyes lit up like The Strip. The guy had a bit of a nervous demeanor before, but suddenly, he became really ancy. He then tells me that he knows a guy at Resistol who is a fan of mine, and who wanted me to wear thier hats. He gets on the phone and lands a hat deal - just like that! Of course, then I have to take a couple of photos with him. next is our photo session for Wendy's clothing line. Natalie changes clothes for Wendy and we get some photos for that. Since we are in the photo taking mood, the photo crew jumps in from the other side of the camera. After all of that, I'm pretty tired... But the day ain't over yet.
At 10pm, we head over to the Bellagio for the WPT pre-championship party and red carpet at Caramel. We had some drinks and some more pictures taken of us. About midnight, we headed for the door. I At the valet lounge, we ran into Daniel Negreanu and chatted a bit about his work at the Wynn. Finally, we made it home to get rested up for the Championship.
