In the Black.... by $60

Greetings everyone from Imperial Palace, in the heart of Las Vegas, NV. It is freakin' hot outside... somewhere around 102 degrees. I can safely say that I brought to heat to Vegas. Okay, lame joke. Please don't switch to another website.

I left California around 2 pm. As I was driving I-15, I saw a bunch of hotels in the distance and sure enough, these were the first casinos on the other side of the border. We got to the hotel about an hour later.

It's been a fun two days so far. Yesterday, after checking into our hotel, we went over to the ESPN Zone in New York, New York to check the BoSox game. Then we hit the casinos hard. Wait, it was just me. I ended up winning about $100 on slot machines (Deal or No Deal baby!) and then losing $40 in blackjack. Today, we've been just roaming around and I made one final appearance at Slots A Fun and Circus Circus. Tonight - much more tomfoolery.

Anyway, the next update will be somewhere in the Southwest. We head to the Grand Canyon and NM tomorrow, and then Denver the day afterwards. Stay tuned!

Goodbye California... land of Arnold

Today's my last day in California. Dan and I have spent the last two days down here in Westwood/LA and it's been a blast. We went to a great Dodgers game that was exciting in the end, had some great Mexican food, but most importantly, got a chance to chat and catch up with some of my close friends that I've made here in CA. Big ups to Melinda for being a great host. Also a special thanks to everyone who've called or came out to visit me yesterday.

As I drive over to Vegas today and cross the California-Nevada border, I'll know that I am leaving behind some great people. Until next time...

Goodbye House

Yesterday, around 2 pm, Rohit, Phil, and I closed down 1524sf... the physical location. Don't worry, loyal readers - this blog will still exist. It was a sad event and if we were all more emotional people, we would have teared up. However, since we were trying to show that we were "men" and not tied down to such trivial matters, we just grunted at each other as we left and cried privately when no one was looking.

Anyhow, I am writing to you all from Westwood's Coffee Bean in the heart of UCLA territory. I arrived yesterday evening and will be here until Monday morning. Melinda's been a great host so far; we were taked to the lethal one-two combination of BJ's Pizza House and this cookie/ice cream sandwich place. Watch out!

I'm looking forward to today when I finally check out a Dodgers game, followed by LA's (in)famous Chicken and Waffles joint.
