Skwid-

I have been to conventions where I was staying off site and commuting, and the experience just loses a lot in translation. If at all possible, stay in the main convention hotel, even if that means finding a roommate situation. Because if you're staying off campus there will come a moment at one in the morning when you're sitting on the carpet in someone's room, passing around a flastk of truly amazing single malt, and enjoying one of those rare, clever, trenchant, deep conversations that you never remember properly in the morning, and that will just be the wrong moment to realize that you have to get up and leave now or you'll miss the last train.

But if poker can be broadcast on Sports networks, then surely pool is at least as athletic? Not to mention golf.

I'm a bit skeptical on the Hillary-as-Underdog thing, though. As we know, Underdog is Humble and Lovable.
