If taping occurs on Saturday, the date would be the 8th. I checked, because I thought I would be there to see it, but we don't fly in until Sunday the 9th! : (

Big congrats! Does round trip air mean a helicopter for you?
Posted by: StB | June 26, 2006 at 10:57 AM
That's so cool! I watch that show all the time. Good luck! I hope you win. Make sure you let us know when it's going to air. I was thinking about trying to get audience tickets since I live here anyway!!

Rockin!!!!!I think some bloggers had already planned to be in the audience. You damn well better drop the HAMMER!!!Oh, and winning would be good, too!

Congrats, Jen! I think the only WSOP final table scheduled that day is for limit hold'em. I think I can skip out on that to swing by and cover the PokerDome. Will it still be taping at the Tropicana, or will the permanent Poker Dome be finished yet? It'd be extra sweet if you were part of the first group in the "real" Poker Dome! And here's a link to a three-week old article about the Poker Dome from FoxSports (they actually quoted my blog in the article): http://msn.foxsports.com/other/story/5668362

Congratulations!I had been wondering earlier (like StB sort of mentioned), do you get anything in place of the roundtrip air fair since you live here in Vegas?

Make sure you compliment the other players on their dancing skillz if they can't keep up with you.Congrats!!

Woo-Hoo!! I had already gotten tickets to that taping for me, Biggestron and Special K, so there will be bloggers there to cheer you on!

V cool. Congratulations and good luck.

I'm so excited for you. You must be over the moon!How do we get tickets for the taping? I'll try Mansion website and Tropicana website. Hey, you who have tickets, how do we get them? We could have a big Jen rooting section. xxoo

Thanks, everyone! WOW, I can't believe you got tickets already!I don't know how that process works, but John is trying to figure out how many tickets he can get. If you are serious about coming to the taping, contact him at schecky@gmail.com. If he's able to get what he wants, there might be 1-2 seats left.And all you bloggers, someone bring the verizon card so you can live blog it! Ha! (not sure if they'd let you, but you never know)This is going to be fun! And don't forget, party on the 23rd to watch it.

www.tvtickets.com has the tickets for the Poker Dome taping. It's pure coincidence that I had tickets to the one you're in, I'm covering the series for pokerworks.com and wanted to see it live, so I'm thrilled that it gets to be the one that you're on! We'll make signs and posters and shit like the hillbillies on the WWE!
Posted by: Falstaff | June 27, 2006 at 11:58 AM
I'm so excited. I got 6 tickets because of falstaff. Thank you fastaff. I only need 2. Jen has my cell info and I will be at Bellagio starting the 8th. Do you realize July 9 is the Women's WSOP game. Lucky you didn't win a seat, Jen! Is the party on the 23rd in Vegas? Is your house big enough to hold all of your friends? See you all on the 9th. xxoo

To answer some of your questions.1. I'm living in Pasadena (near LA) now, but I might or might not be in Vegas. If I'm in Vegas, I'll get limo transport, thats it.2. BJ, it'll still be at the Trop. The Poker Dome won't move downtown until the end of July. Wah! :-( I'm really bummed I won't be playing down there, and won't be able to qualify again, but heck, this is still going to be an experience of a lifetime! Talk to John, he'll get a ticket for you. Or, I will.3. I'm still not sure of the exact time. But I'm sure we'll figure it out.

Now for the REAL question that's on everyone's mind, but that no one wants to ask!What are you going to wear??
Posted by: sarahbellum | June 28, 2006 at 07:10 PM
