WSOP 2015

Yes, it is getting to be that time of year again. WSOP 2015 is just around the corner. Got my invite back. It included a note that my driver's license on file had expired and I needed to visit Human Resources in person to update it and update the I-9 form that goes with it. This little visit to HR entails a 5 hour drive from Scottsdale as well as a return. I shouldn't complain. A couple years ago that was an airplane flight from Tampa which is a lot more expensive than the tank of gas or two I'll burn up. My sister, Terrie, who lives in Sun City volunteered to keep me company on the drive, so I booked a room at the Orleans for us (no rooms available that week at the Rio) and we headed up through the desert. I spent my 15 minutes in HR, they were quick and efficient, and headed out to find some discount show tickets. Tix 4 Tonight had some discounted seats available for "Showstoppers" at the Wynn. The show was entertaining. It should be. It was a compilation of great musical numbers from Broadway shows in the recent and the distant past. I really enjoyed the "Cell Block Tango" from Chicago. If you are one of those people that hates Broadway musicals, you would really detest this show. Me, on the other hand, I've had an interest in musical theatre ever since I saw my sister (yes, Terrie, my travel companion) in "West Side Story" when we were kids. So I have been "processed". Orientation is Sunday, May 24th, and the first tournament begins May 27th. Official link to the WSOP Schedule here.
