THE BOOK!

Hey guys, I've been so busy in the past few weeks that I haven't taken the time to keep in touch. So much has been going on that telling everyone about it has beome a somewhat daunting task, but here you go... my last month or so in a single blog entry.

I think Jay-Z said it best when he said "I don’t do to much blogging, I just run the town, I don’t do to much jogging"

Here's my first iPhone 4 video. Who knew the flash light was so bright? Sorry guys! We're minutes away from a tasting menu at Alize, the French restaurant at the top of Palms. I highly recommend a visit!

Here is probably close to the biggest chip stack I had all summer... a measly 55k or so, huge sad face.



My first interview with THE Greg Brooks during play in the WSOP Main Event in the Full Tilt Poker player's lounge. I try to cut him off, but he loves talking I think the tournament player we're talking about is actually at the final table... woo!

Greg Interview. I couldn't get youtube to cooperate with this one, but this is the link.

Pancakes from the Original Pancake House (not IHOP), which is very close to where I'm moving soon. Hangover foooooooooooooooooood!



Here's a slightly fun one. It's me right after UMD Tennis paid me a hundo to chug 4 shots of Belvadere. Jokes on him though because that was basically 1/4 my caloric intake in Vegas. Suckaaaa. FWIW, I'm not white because I'm so drunk, I'm just that white. Hi haters.



I kept the Vegas pictures to a minimum in case someone in my family sees this AND because I have a lot more relavant and recent exciting news to talk about.

MY BOOK IS FINALLY BEING SENT OFF TO PRINT! I'll be printing a few copies, sending those to the Library o' Congress to get some Copyright love and be ready to go! I've been working between 4 and 8 hours on it every day, except the days I've been looking for a new apartment, in the time since I've been home from Vegas. I'll post a picture of the book's cover as soon as things are finalized. Thanks everyone for all the support and love that helped me to finally enter the final stages of this project that's been almost a year in the making! My close friends and everyone in the Leggo community have been fantastic and very helpful.

So I'm sure you guys have been missing my awesome Leggo videos, but don't worry, there will be lot's soon. Keep an eye on Leggo because I'm about to blow up on this bitch. I'll be on an upcoming LeggoCast and be blogging about details of the book soon. I hope you guys are a fraction as excited I am about this thing finally coming out!

I'm moving and getting the grind station set back up essentially as soon as I plan to get all the book production finalized. I'll probably do an MTV Cribs knock-off when we're settled in and things are presentable. Maybe I'll make you guys a drink on camera?

Reid

lancelott_ I'll be posting information regarding the book very soon, within the next day or so. Take a look at the comments section of my latest video. I responded to your questions about some pretty cool spots that don't come up too often.
