Subject: [BARGE] Trip Report, Executive Summary

 The full report to follow later, from the BARGEr formerly known as Tom
Bayes

*I Gambool Econo* (in honor of "We Jam Econo", the documentary about The
Minutemen)

*Wednesday:* Take city bus downtown, ship the World Championship of A-5
Lowbah.
*
Thursday:* Sleep through CHORSE, visit tourist trap pawn shop, hose 6-Game
in the least optimal way by actually getting busted by Chris Jepsen, but not
fast enough to catch ride to the Goldman's party, drink lots of cranberry
juice mixed with vodka

*Friday:* Sit at wrong table, then quickly hose TOC to Micon, play the
rocking $1-3-6 spread limit holdem with a single $1 blind at the El Cortez,
never get served booze in EC's poker room despite repeated use of the
'Missed Cocktail" button, return to our spiritual downtown home to hose more
in dealer's choice games, drink a couple of "Super-Sized" shots of bourbon
with Karl at karaoke, karoake crowd liked my "We Will Rock You" by Queen
more than "Been Caught Stealing" by Jane's Addiction, forgot to bust out "I
Am the Lowbah Champion of the World", also from the Queen catalog
*
Saturday*: Mincash the main event, busting Jepsen & Bob Jones & Stephen Ward
on the way, perpetuate my draw game luckbox rep during Reindeer Games by
hitting the wheel on 2-card draws three separate times, actually book a
small win in Reindeer Games but failed to win a "I Busted an ADB" bracelet

*Sunday*: Hose $50 to Russ and Foldem in the morning dealer's choice game
playing like the young dealers who had been up all night, get treated to
frozen yogurt by Russ with my own money, go to Goldman's afterparty, enjoy
the lovely Las Vegas weather by their pool (that was NOT a sarcastic
statement)

*Monday*: Final good beat of the week-somehow score window seat in Row 3 on
a Southwest flight from Boarding Group "C"
