Today was an absolutely fantastic today! In a very good mood this evening, and haven't even played a hand of poker!
Got up and watched Andy Murray destroy world number 1 Rafael Nadal. That meant I won a nice big bet so who can't enjoy that start to a day! So now Murray is in the final tomorrow at 2pm Vegas time, and I'll definitely have to take some time out to watch that! COME ON MURRAY!
Then in the evening, SHINEDOWN! It gets better too. What I didn't know was that support bands included Red, and Jet Black Stare!!! Jet Black Stare are a very similar band who I've heard recently so made it even more exciting!
No one disappointed either. The gig was incredible. I managed to stand right at the front of the venue so got some great piccies, 2 of which will be below! Plus at the end of the gig I caught the guitarists signed pick :D ACE! The music was incredible, the atmosphere was brilliant... Wow I love good rock!
So I'm in a pretty good mood. Tomorrow will include watching tennis, playing poker, and seeing the Blue Man group at 10pmish. With front row seats and a poncho it should be a great experience!
Just to keep in touch with the summary thing, I'm still $540 up poker wise after 13 days. That's $540 profit simply for poker, not including my expensive shopping, shows or eating habbits! Only once I come home and convert my cash can I really see how much this holiday has cost...
Thanks to everyone who's been following this. Hope it's been interesting and enjoyable! Not long to go now and it's going to be a very busy few days!
Oh and if anyone living in Leeds fancies picking me and Dave up from the train station on friday at about 11:45am, I really wouldn't complain ;)
Bed time for now, so lastly the pictures:
