20 confirms in 2 days. Not bad so far. I’ve received a ton of “I just need to _________ before I can confirm and make reservations,” so this list should keep growing rapidly over the next few days, weeks, and months. I’ll try to update it as frequently as possible.
Just some house cleaning notes, if you have a blog and I didn’t link . . . send me an email. If you’re in and I somehow missed you . . . send me an email.
For details on the WPBT Winter Classic, including information about room reservations, see this previous post.

Hi, my name is Bill Rini and this is my poker blog. I've been blogging about poker and the poker industry since around 2003-ish. Like most people I started out playing poker as entertainment in home games whenever we wanted to sit around and smoke cigars, drink beer, and eat pizza, and needed a good excuse. I started playing online shortly after the first online card rooms opened and it wasn't long before I was playing 20, 30, or even 40 hours a week or more. One day I received a phone call about a program manager position at Tiltware which was the company that consulted to Full Tilt Poker on software development and marketing. After Tiltware I spent about 2.5 years working at Party Poker where I was the poker room manager.

I specifically confirm that I shall be attending.
Damn straight, woman.
I’m in.
“I just need to _________ before I can confirm and make reservations,â€
That would be me and Pablo! 99.9%. Should have everything lined up by Monday.
Please disregard! I just saw you had me on the confirmed list.
Hope I can clear enough money at the tables between here and December to come. Cause it’s spankin season and I’ve got a hankerin…for some spankerin.
Can you toss me on the “On Deck” list please :)
Dang man I live here so I guess I’ll show up.
Fly in on my birthday, gonna make the reservations tonight :)
I shall be there as well! :-)
Gonna be missing this one folks. Somehow, in as boring a place as Vegas, I’m hoping you guys will have fun without me.
I’m 100% (ticket purchase, vacation days granted).
I’m pretty sure I’m in, but am not going to buy airfare and the such until I’m absolutely positive.
Mr. Rini-
Please add me to the I’M GOING TO VEGAS list.
Thank you,
Chilly
I’m 100% confirmed.
I will also be dragging reader/occasional blogger Cujofan (cujofan.com) with me… so that’s two 100% confirms.
For those still shopping, http://swavacations.com/ has some great deals for combo airfare + hotel (I’m looking at a $300 for three nights @ Wynn which is about $40/night hotel on top of the regular price of airfare from here).
I’m in. For sure.
