Today is my big day. As I think you already know, I won a seat into the Mansion Poker Dome to air on FSN July 23rd. Yesterday I was at the World Poker Blogger Tour and there will be a bunch of poker bloggers at the Dome. It's going to be so much fun! So far, I know that I'm up against a magician (Dan), and a semi pro football player (Neil). There is a middle aged guy and another young buck who has been chiming in on JenLeoLive!.
They filmed us yesterday doing an interview where I talked about my books, and did some absolutely ridiculous poses like crossing my arms and glaring into the TV. This, I have no doubt, will garner huge laughs from the viewers come July 23rd. But the good news is that the producers were talking amid themselves and said that I was "very photogenic" so hopefully they'll just get me smiling.
So, right now I'm off to breakfast to meet the other players and get our schedule, then it's off to get my hair done again, and at 1pm the limo will take us to the Tropicana to get ready. Some bloggers will be showing up at the Tropicana at 4:30pm, but you need to be there at 5:00pm to get your seat. Don't worry, there will be a comedian in the audience to warm you up, and if you want to be on TV, sit in the front and center rows. See you there! Wish me luck!

Hey Jen, it was great meeting you this weekend and playing with you in the blogger event (yes I put your chips to good use too ha ha). Can't wait to watch you on the 23rd at the Poker Dome. Hope you really kicked some ass. And that you get into the sunglasses thing, I still say it's a great look for the poker table.
