Biloxi/New Orleans trip report
Well, im sitting here waiting for my parents to get to their house so we can eat shrimp, so I figured it type this up while im waiting... I wasnt expecting much from Biloxi. It turned out to be a fairly relaxing trip though. I got there about a week ago (i dont remember when...my memory is horrible) with my friend Pete. We pretty much chilled around the casino and played a little live poker, which I dont really like. After he left, My friend Dave Anderson came along with a Christoph, a guy we met in Lake Tahoe. We had a pretty good time hanging out and eating the great Brizilian buffet. Dave did well in the tournaments although I did pretty horrible, like normal. I also got pwned hard online...Like to the point of almost bustoing my account. I have like $6000 left in there right now (which is basically nothing) so im going to be pulling some strings to get more money in there asap.
After the boring biloxi trip, I got the bright idea to go to the music festival in New Orleans. One of Daves favroite bands is Red Hot Chili Peppers and one of mine is My Chemical Romance, so we figured we check them out. We left mid day and followed TimKrank, a party sng player, and 2 of his friends to new orleans. I was under the impression we were going to our hotel to drop off our bags, but we went straight to the music festival. It took forever to find parking. We evnetually parked about a 30 minute walk from the entrance. My legs were tired by the time I got up there. We pretty much mingled around and laughed at the huge lines to get beer and food. The beer stands were amazing...They had these spicket people whose job was to do nothing but sit there and fill plastic cups full of beer as fast as they could. Thank god I dont have to do that for a living. The whole situation made me rather depressed with all humanity. Anyways, we eventually saw the chili peppers and they were great.
When we finally made it back to my car, I noticed my dome light was on...great...I was hoping my battery wasnt dead. It turns out either me or dave apparently left the doors unlucked and someone had ransacked my car. All my clothes were thrown out of my suitcase, as was Daves. I was hoping and praying they didnt touch the computers in the back. Dave was even more worred than I was, I think, as he had $5000 in his computer bag. I opened up the trunk to find Daves computer out of the bag and some of his stuff strown about my trunk...my computer was nowhere to be found...I was sad. Dave found his money still in his bag...smart theives...Once we got out wits back, Dave decided to see what was taken from the inside of the car...and he found my computer!! ShiiiipppHollaaaaa. It turns out that the only things they took was my crappy minpod (they left my videoipod...) daves ipod and my little thing that lets the ipod plug into the radio. That was the best bad beat i have ever taken. We drove to the hotel, checked in and went to meet up with the other guys again in the casino to eat and figure out plans from there. We all decided that we were tired, so we went to sleep.
Dave decided the next day that he wanted to talk around and see the city, so we did that in the morning. I wanted to see My Chemical Romance at 3:30, so I decided that we didnt have time to go back to the hotel, as we would be cutting it close. We ate at some fair to crappy bbq/fried food place in the french quarter...It was possabily the worst service I have ever had. We caught a cab and went back to the music festival. We played the playstation 3 for like 15 minutes while we waited. We got to the main stage and I noticed that they had some other band playing...At this festival, there was usually an hour break between bands on each stage. I then realized that we forgot to set back our clocks. We are so smart. We eventually saw the show, which was great. I wasnt expecting all that much, as I have heard some of MCRs live stuff and it was kinda crappy. Their show was very good though.
We taxied back to the hotel and slept until about 9:00 or so. Dave wanted to walk down burbon street, so we did that. We ate at the red fish grill, which was awesome. They had some the best soup I have ever tasted. It was some red fish soup that was kinda tomatoey. If you ever go there, get the 1-1-1 soup sampler...you wont be disappointed. After that, we walked down the street, listened to a 400 poind man sing in a bar, then went back to the room. We watched little miss sunshine, which is a very funny movie.
The next day...which is today, I drove home and here I am...I plan to go back into semiseculsion for the next month or so and relearn how to play sngs. My stars account is fairly low right now and neteller is taking its time to get my deposit in, so I think I am going to be forced to grind it out at the $114s-$225s for a few days, which isnt really that big of a problem.
I also plan on getting on theuberman sleep schedule, which is where you sleep 20 minutes at a time 6 times per day. I think I am going to go with sleeping at 3-7-11, as those seem to be the best times for pokering as well as most other things in life. Hopefully this all goes well, as I am not one to go without sleep very easily. I also think I left all my toiletries back in New Orleans, so im going to have to go buy new stuff tomorrow or whenever, which kinda sucks...I guess thats about it. I'll post again when something happens.

Badass trip all in all, thanks for coming up and joining me. We definatly need to do it again sometime, or maybe you can come over to Gothenberg in a few months for some Swedish fun with Mats and me.
