Well, it’s January 1st, 2008. I think I’m going to go the whole year without partying. I did enough last night to keep me good for the entire year. It started off with a small party at my condo to bring in the New Year with some close friends and watch the fireworks from my balcony. It was maybe the best countdown I’ve ever had. There were about 20 of us and we were crammed onto my balcony and everybody was annihilated! For the last few years I’ve spent my New Years inside of nightclubs. It was so nice to spend ‘08 in a place where I saw Las Vegas shine; and shine it did. The fireworks went on for what seemed like an eternity. It was a beautiful night.
At about 12:30 the posse and I loaded up and headed over to Tao Nightclub to chill with my buddy, Jason Strauss (owner of TAO). He was very gracious in having me and my friends at his table for the evening. We rocked the house! I think it was 5 am when the lights finally came on and we got the hint. We did not want to leave. I don’t know how much tequila I drank but I must have finished an entire bottle of Patron by myself.
I figure I might as well have gone out with a bang. 2007 was a great year and why not start 2008 off properly???
You only live once ladies and gents!
Happy New Year!!!

Happy New Year Antonio. You need to update your blog more. I just wanted to tell you that I think you’re the most underrated T.V. Poker Pro. Not because you’re an unknown, but because you’re that damn good! Keep up the good work.
