Phishy Thoughts from the Road

"Brain dead and made of money, no future at all..." - Phish

I'm going to miss Deer Creek



I posted a monster write up of my Phishy travels to my other blog, the Tao of Pauly. Here's a sample...



Following Phish is the closest thing to being a rock star that I will ever experience. Sure, I don't get up on stage every night, but I'm living the lifestyle, which is probably more fun without any of the responsibilities of holding iconic rock star status.

Following Phish is like being a rock star. I'm on the road, in a different city every night, mostly places I never would choose to visit if you put a gun to my left testicle.

I'll be posting a write up of the tournament at chez Boy Genius later today. Stay tuned! And yes, I will be making a return back to the tables on Party Poker within the next 24 hours to end my two week hiatus from playing online.
