But in all fairness, there were plenty of distractions. A thrilling Ryder Cup, the NFL season in full\u00a0swing,\u00a0and we&#8217;re in the middle of the best two months for golf in\u00a0Austin. Hey, there&#8217;s a lot on my plate.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>But enough excuses &#8211; on to the update! The paperback version of\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Star-Wars-Darth-Dynasty-Republic\/dp\/0345511573\/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1285129749&amp;sr=8-1\">Dynasty of Evil<\/a> is on shelves now; if you haven&#8217;t read it in hardcover now&#8217;s your chance to catch up on the exciting conclusion (maybe) of the Bane saga.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gdconline.com\/\">GDC Austin<\/a> is in town. I wasn&#8217;t able to make it this year, but there will be plenty of\u00a0BioWare\u00a0folks there, so if you see them tell &#8217;em\u00a0Drew says hi.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m also still working on my new &#8220;secret project&#8221;, but progress has been slow. I&#8217;ll be honest, this is subject matter that is near and dear to the hearts of literally millions of people, so I&#8217;m taking my time to make sure I get it right. I wish I could tell you more, but you&#8217;ll just have to wait for an official announcement. However, I guarantee that when the announcement comes the reaction will be&#8230; let&#8217;s just say &#8220;enthusiastic&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Three final things I want to mention before I go. First, some very generous folks over at the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.eucantina.net\/\">EU Cantina<\/a> have offered to help me make my website look &#8220;less\u00a0assy&#8221; (my words, not theirs). They&#8217;re doing this in their spare time and out of the goodness of their hearts, so it might be a while before the renovations are complete, but based on what they&#8217;ve shown me so far it&#8217;ll be worth it.<\/p>\n<p>Second, the NBA season is drawing near. This year I&#8217;m vowing to finally get down to\u00a0San Antonio\u00a0to watch at least one Spurs playoff game. I really let them down last year; they could have used my help during the Suns series. (Not to brag, but I&#8217;ve been to 4 Spurs games in person, and they&#8217;re undefeated while I&#8217;m there. You&#8217;d think they&#8217;d just send me season tickets, right?) Go, Spurs, go!<\/p>\n<p>Finally, next week I&#8217;m heading to Vegas. That&#8217;s right &#8211; Vegas, baby! As usual, I&#8217;ll be staying at the<a href=\"http:\/\/www.planethollywood.com\/\">PH<\/a>. In addition to my usual blackjack, craps and poker I&#8217;m hoping to get in some golf while I&#8217;m there. And since I&#8217;m heading down for a buddy&#8217;s bachelor party, there may be other &#8220;activities&#8221; as well. I&#8217;d give you all the details, but you know the slogan: What happens in\u00a0Vegas,\u00a0stays in Vegas&#8230; except STDs.<\/p>\n<p>Okay, that&#8217;s all for now.
