Poker, Peppers, and Thiefs

None of us lasted very long in the $1k main event that they had yesterday. It was pretty uneventful for me, I had QQ first hand raised 7x the BB and got 4 callers. That's the kind of day it was.

After we busted out Jon, Tim, myself and Tim's two buddies Mike and Nick all took off for New Orleans to check out this VooDoo Music Festival. I hadn't ever been to a big outdoor concert type of venue before, so it was all new to me. The place was gigantic and filled entirely, there must have been over 100,000 people there. They had 6 or 7 stages where different bands performed and there were tons of tents that sold all sorts of things. We got to see the Red Hot Chili Peppers perform on the main stage and although we couldn't get really close it was still awesome. They put on an amazing show and it's easy to see why they have been the best at what they do for so long.

After the concert finished we started the 20 minute walk back to our cars and when we finally got there we realized that either Jon or Me had left the interior light on in the car. Bad beat, then as we got closer we realized that our stuff was all open and thrown around the car. We all suddenly realized that someone had broken into our car and stolen everything. I was immediately heart broken.... I had my laptop and $4,500 cash in there among other things. We looked through our clothes bags and it seemed like they only stole our Ipods from inside the car. Oddly enough both of our digital cameras were taken out of our bags but left in the car. We then popped the trunk, to see if they took our laptops and saw that my entire laptop case had been dumped out but they left my computer!!! I then reach into the pouch of my computer case to check and see if they somehow missed all my cash, low and behold all $4,500 was there. It was the best beat ever. They literally looked EVERYWHERE in the entire car, glove compartment, ash trays, console, even the sunglasses holder. I think the only possible place I had put the money was the one place they passeed up. Unfortunately Jon's laptop wasn't in the trunk and we thought it had been stolen as well. Then a few minutes later we found it inside the car with everything dumped out of it, but still there. So, all in all, the thieves passed up two $400 digital cameras, two $2,000 laptops, $4,500 in cash, but they did steal both of our $200 Ipods. They say Mississippi is the most uneducated state in the union.... Louisiana must not be far behind :)

We are gonna go walk around Bourbon Street and check out the French Quarter today, then go see My Chemical Romance at the Festival later this afternoon. Needless to say we will be leaving all of our valuables in the hotel.
