It is 5:40 in the morning and I am about to go to sleep at the end of quite a week of Pubcon.

The saddest part of Pubcon is that it is over so quickly.

I feel like I wait all year for it, then it is a whorl wind of confeti, with great glimpses of beauty, and then with a breath it is gone.

I got to make an appearance with an x-treme Couture fighting outfit on, including gloves. We had pro fighter Mike Whitehead come out to play to represent the X-treme Couture GI foundation. Mike is an amazingly fun and loving guy, who is always ready with a joke, and a smile for the camera.

Every big name you could imagine came out, including Alex one of the two founders of Azoogle, and Ken CEO of Epiar. Alex creator of Easy Tweets played, and so did the BOTW team. Michael of Planet Chiropractic was on hand to keep an eye on things, and Master Shoemoney and his programmer Dill (See I am blogging every day now!), were deep into the game.

In a big upset Shoe got knocked out before the big table.

Brian Ree took home the first place cash prize as well as almost $1,000 worth of Chipotle certificates!

Ken Huffer took second place with his cash prize as well as almost $500 worth of Chipotle certificates.

Gary came in second place followed by my good friend Brian Chappell.

We had lots of of superstars stop by including Sugarrae.

I am happy to say that there were a lot more females playing and visiting since last year.

Thanks to the sponsors and the Venetian, we got an open bar for all the players that lasted into the morning. Especially with the economy a little out of breath, this was way above and beyond!

It must also be mentioned that Ken Jurino threatened to wear a bright orange Zoot Suit to the event. I thought he was joking, until I saw him in line wearing just that! He brought a matching hat for one of the models. There will be more pictures to follow.

Stay tuned for lots of pictures and talk from our trip to Pubcon.

My staff were a huge hit, with literally dozens and dozens of people taking the time to tell me how great my staff were and what a great job they did. Obviously people loved the models, including Kate!

I am allready looking forward to next year.

I am super grateful to our sponsors for giving us the chance to do this.

Much Love,

now off to sleep!

Roseanna, Mandy and Jenny! Thank you so much for giving one for the team. The three of you worked so long, and so hard, and did such a perfect job, that the three of you will probably be the most memorable part of Pubcon for many. You have been such a shinning example of how people should be, and are a shinning light to lead people out of any bad economic times that might hit us. You inspired, and brought smiles to many this week!
