Karting and Kylie

London has come and gone and man I had a good time! On Thursday, CelebPoker rented out an indoor go-kart track for the afternoon. 24 people all had 6 races and the top 10 after those races advanced to the final. I somehow managed to finish a disappointing 12th after two incredibly rigged races (seriously, I got scammed) so I lost both sidebets and didn't even race in the final. Whoops.

Friday evening was the highlight, as CelebPoker had rented a VIP skybox in the O2 Arena for the Kylie Minogue concert. Her show was very well done and though I didn't know most of the songs, they did a really good job of keeping the crowd entertained. I think it's also pretty amazing how she overcame breast cancer and is back on tour now in full force now, good for her.

this was the view from the skybox. it looks a lot further away on camera for some reason

Before, during and after the concert we were drinking and inevitably ended up drinking too much, as is always the case with open bars :) Luckily things didn't get too out of hand and I think that pretty much everyone had a really great time. The flight back home this morning was bright and early, so I spent most of today recovering in bed.

My plan for August is basically just to put in a sick grind. I am aiming for somewhere inbetween 80-100k hands which is something I've never achieved before but should be feasible. If anyone wants to make sidebets with me for further motivation please feel free! I have no additional travel plans for the next month and the way it's looking right now I'll probably even miss EPT Barcelona due to a rake race I'll be taking part in, but we'll see. Plans can change very quickly!
