Album Cover...
Returned Sunday from a profitable trip up north... only managed 30 hours at the tables as it was an unknown region, and had to do a lot of scouting... but my actual value exceeded EV for even 50 hours of play. So all good. One incredibly obnoxious casino refused to cash out without ID - and then when I provided it on a separate shift without playing, they actually said I would also need to get a player's card. So now I'm getting spam emails from them as well... at least no backoffs this time around.
Found a great photo of Montauk Point off of the east end of Long Island online, now I need to find an artist to superimpose the Interstate Island logo over an artistic rendering of the shoreline for the album cover. I'm looking to make it like ELO's "A New World Record", but with the Long Island shoreline instead of a cityscape...

Gearing Up For Region P3
Leaving next weekend for my first trip since the holidays. Need to start working on 4 deck simulations, as this region is chock full of those games - all with great pen, based on my bj21 reports. Flight and hotel reservations are set; still need to rent a car - hoping rates come down slightly over the course of the next week.
Would really love to get close to 50 hours on this trip. Hours have been a problem for me, largely because I fall prey to backing myself off. Last trip, I was bounced out of one spot - and unceremoniously so, as a couple of the PCs who were hawking my game actually asked me to leave the property (as opposed to just "no more blackjack"). That always stings, notwithstanding the fact that I know I shouldn't care. I'll be back in a year, and you guys won't remember...
