Apparently it's all in the pictures. The GPWA team has been noticing that our GPWA Times readers like pictures, especially pictures that include cute girls. Imagine that. There has been one exception to the rule, however...if you haven't already noticed, I slacked off last week and did not produce an article for the GPWA newsletter. As a punishment, my fun little picture and weekly column was replaced by a professional, high res picture of Calvin and a story all about his new and fancy blog. How is that for a slap in the face. In an effort to make up for my shortcomings, I am back this week and determined to get your attention. I might not be a billionaire permanently surrounded by beautiful women, I might not be the head of a digital entertainment empire, my pictures might not be available for download in high res, but I do have a picture with Ron Jeremy.
Aside from showing off my Ron Jeremy moment, there are two things that I would like to accomplish today. First, are you going to Vegas for the WSOP? If so, I have set up a thread so you can let everyone know your plans. I'll be there from July 4th through the 8th and I cannot wait for the July 5th Bluff Media party at the Sapphire Gentlemen's Club, a strip bar the size of a football field. Good times all around. I hope to see you there for sure- I'll even get you a lap dance. Not invited? Send an email to Eric@BluffMedia, and if you're lucky, he just might hook you up. Second, do you plan to attend CAC Montreal? Let us know if you do! I will be making the trip straight to Montreal from Tel Aviv, so please don't be surprised if I look and feel like absolute hell. One and a half weeks of Tel Aviv nightlife with industry friends during the height of the summer will be interesting.
Oh, and one last thing...one of our very own reporters has Calvin's picture as his desktop wallpaper. Both monitors. This is not a joke- I see it every time I walk by his desk. I'm not going to mention any names, but if you can guess who it is, I'll tell you what "shpritz" means.

Rebecca Liggero, a native of Wellesley, Massachusetts, has always loved meeting new people, building relationships, and traveling the world – perfect qualities for someone who, since early 2005, has won many friends and influenced countless people in the worldwide online gaming community.
After graduating from Bates College with a degree in psychology, Rebecca spent four years in Washington, DC, working in relationship management, dreaming all the while about someday making it big in online gaming. After turning down an opportunity to live in New Zealand, she moved back to Boston and signed on as Senior Account Manager for Casino City – the beginning of a dream come true!
Rebecca’s work on behalf of Casino City (and later for the GPWA as well) took her to trade shows and conferences everywhere – Amsterdam, Barcelona, Costa Rica, Montreal, London, Las Vegas, Macau and many other ports of call – and along the way she began chronicling her incredible around-the-clock adventures in a wildly entertaining and industry-savvy weekly column that quickly became – and still remains – must reading for everyone who is anyone in online gaming. Following almost three years with the Casino City team, Rebecca spent a few months at Everest Affiliates where she was the Brand Manager of the affiliate program. While working on “the other side,” she realized that she truly missed her weekly column and the affiliate side of the business and decided to return to the Casino City family.
One and a half years later, Rebecca resigned from Casino City and joined industry icon Calvin Ayre to serve as the Bodog Global Brand Ambassador and the head on-site reporter for the online gambling industry tablog, CalvinAyre.com. In her new capacity, Rebecca continues to travel the world, and when asked where she is based, her response is usually "on an airplane."
