On the Road Again...
First things first. I moved the blog onto my own permanent hosting. So the blog is now officially located at http://blog.andysite.net instead of http://farva05.blogspot.com
The old Blog Spot address should still work though. The reasons for this are numerous. The main being it gives me options with how to proceed. I may consider making this into numerous blogs, or I may convert to WordPress (another blogging package). If I do either of those, I will probably just archive this one.
The other option, and the one I will do for the immediate future, is to just throw everything into this one. Mainly because of the next news.
Assuming I'm able to fall asleep within the next 2 hours or so, I plan on getting up around 7 or so and showerin and stuff before headin up to Lima, Ohio. It will be my first real time in Western Ohio, since Cincinnati is Southwest and Toledo/BG is Northwest.
The reason for this excursion is the Lima Poker Championship being held at the Allen County Fairgrounds. It is a up-to 600 person $100 charity tournament. It is actually quite excellent structure... almost equal to some of the premiminary World Series events. This should take some amount of luck out of it, and make it better for more skilled players, which I believe gives me an advantage. Last year, I believe they had about 300-some players, and the winner received $12,000, so I'm looking forward to the opportunity.
The doors open at 9AM, and they will be running $20 satellites until the main tournament starts at 1PM. I hope to get there by 10AM, hopefully play and win 2 satellites, which would pay for my $100 entry fee, $50 rebuy, and $50 add-on amounting to a total for 35,000 chips... all for a whopping $40 bucks. If this succeeds, I hope to have an hour or two break and head into Lima for a little viewing of the suburb-less Youngstown of the west and see if I can find one of these infamous Kewpee's that is supposedly Wendy's but better. Then back to the fairgrounds for a rousing session of poker, hopefully culminating in winning.
This leads me to the next fun fact. I've found out that Blogger allows mobile blogging. So all throughout tomorrow, I plan on sending fun little pictures and captions, as well as status updates on my progress to this here blog via my phone.
Hopefully I'll be finding a hotel in Lima and be back in Columbus on Sunday, because I'll have been playing poker for 16 hours and will be too tired to drive back.
So all I can say is wish me luck, and Stay Tuned...
