Gene,

I'm gpong to try to do even better then that! I've already talked to the camera man about getting the raw footage. We shot a lot a tape and some great stuff. I'm sure the TV station will be cutting the bejeebers out of it and airing only a small part. The best would be if I can get the whole thing. I'm not sure if I have him talked into it yet. The station soesnt release the raw footage. But with the proper bribes and a lot of luck i may be able to get it.
So far, I've offered him a streak dinner and drinks. I'll keep you up to date with how it goes. I'll call him either tomorrow or thursday and see how it looks. Hopefully i won't have to keep uping the ante too much.

I also wanted to let you know I felt the filming went great. You did a great job in front of the cameras. You even looked very life-like.

Speaking to CJ, it appears that they are going to use the footage of you along with some additional footage they are planning on shooting of me for the segment on chip collecting. I think their plans for your footage includes both the chip collecting as well as the segments on best bets in Vegas and an additonal one on inside of casinos. Od course he's going to use the footage of me and the others playing there (and winning there) at the Palms. He came away with such positive feelings on the filming and Palms experience that he is going to also use the Palms footage for segements that werent even planned. I guess it pays to bring the actual News Director and not just a lower level people. Just dont forget us "little people" when you get famous!
