The Party Will Start In Atlantic City

Tom Kessenich · Post by **Tom Kessenich** » Tue Mar 16, 2010 3:04 pm

I know what you're thinking - Las Vegas is "Sin City" and St. Louis is the home of Albert Pujols. Yes, those are two great cities which are going to be the hosts of some outstanding NFBC events but let's be real here, the big fun for the NFBC's first weekend is going to be in Atlantic City.

Right?

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone who has signed up for an event this weekend. I'll see plenty of familiar faces and I can't wait to meet new members of the NFBC family as well. We'll host all three of our days at Ballys and the folks there are just as excited to host our event as I am to be running things. Myself, Charlie Wiegert (aka "The Godfather) and Seth Trachtman will be your hosts and we promise to take good care of everyone and do everything in our power to ensure you have a terrific experience.

Everyone working on this event has put in a lot of time to make sure everything goes off according to plan and for those of you coming to Atlantic City you have my word that you're going to have a lot of fun. And those who know me from hosting our NFBC and NFFC events in New York know that I am a man of my word.

So I look forward to seeing everyone in a few days. If you need to contact me you can email me at [email protected] or call me at 715 254-5559. I'll be arriving in AC on Thursday afternoon and assuming Charlie and Seth don't keep me on the tables all night long or betting on every game under the sun we'll be ready to kick off the party on Friday.

Fantasy baseball, 1st tournament weekend, and gambling...tough to beat that. See you all there!

Tom:

Any idea where we are drafting on Saturday in Bally's.

Should we be looking for a specific room? Thanks.

[/QUOTE]Me neither. And I was all pumped to make a killing with my NBA trifecta bets. That sucks.

Blackjack it is for me too, Seth.

Sorry if this was already posted....

Tom,

Are you staying out on the east coast for one whole week???

If so, liquor sales are gonna go through the roof in Jersey and the big apple this week!

Tom Kessenich · Post by **Tom Kessenich** » Wed Mar 17, 2010 7:16 am

I'm flying back to Wisconsin on Monday and then heading to New York on Thursday. Originally the plan was to keep me out there for the duration. But for the sake of getting our business done effectively - and my sanity

- we switched the plan so I could come back home for a couple of days between weekends.

What's the forecast for Thursday-Sunday? I haven't had a chance to look.
