I would like to hear the story about the "main" operaterors at Blonde found each other (Snoop, Jen, DC, Tikay ect)
Seems like an interesting bunch of characters to say the least!!!!!!
Jen was vaguely known to me as a dealer at Gutshot in London, but we were not on speaking terms as such.
She was recommended to me by Jo Handman, & I was doing Live Updates "solo" at the time. I asked her to do one with me, at Walsall, & she was just magic, I could see in an instant she was golden. I was due to fly to Vegas a week later, & I ummed & arred about asking her to come across & Live Update the 2005 WSOP with me. In usual tiikay style, I left it until the last minute before plucking up the courage to ask her to come to Vegas, so I eventually 'phoned her. "Hi Jen, will you come to Vegas for the WSOP please?". "Yes, when do you want me", she said. "Err, umm, tomorrow.....?"
She said "yes", DC & I sorted out the Vegas hotel & flight costs (considerable, & out of our own pockets) & we were up & running.
Jen & I had such a ball in Vegas. We worked 16 hours a day, then went for breakfast. She is such a fascinating conversationalist, we would chat after a 16 hour Update for 4 hours then fall asleep at the breakfast table! I have a huge weakness & fascination for highly intelligent folks, & Jen is as sharp as anyone I have met.
We went all over Europe together, Updating, Paris, Barceona, Copenhagen, Vienna, what fun we had, always dining & me listening to Jen orate on every subject under the sun. We went for a meal in Paris during the WPT & I was so busy listening to a Jen tale that I walked straight into a plate glass door, which was firmly shut!
My other blonde & TV committments with Poker 425 meant we had to find another Updater, & it was Jen that found snoops, bless her.
It all goes back to Jo introducing me to Jen, without whom life would have been so different, her Live Updates have become our trademark. They were described rather unkindly as "Conference League" Updates by another site recently, but she gives blonde exactly what the blondes want, & thats all that matters to me.
God Bless Jen & snoops.
