To be sure, I was Behind the Orange Curtain. Mapquest says the distance from Irvine to Commerce Casino is about 45 minutes; but since the 405 is involved, it's more like twice that. It doesn't matter whether you try to go there at three in the morning or three in the afternoon (and I've done both, so I speak from experience), travelling on Interstate 405 doubles the amount of time it takes to get anywhere.
On the other hand, I was there with my co-worker Steve from Chicago (who won the big tournament I wrote about earlier), so even though we weren't able to hit the card room together -- which I would have really enjoyed -- we did manage to talk a whole lot about poker in between our meetings with the customer. (For those of you among my friends who doubt that I really do have a real job, this week would have certainly proved that I do once and for all.)
