It's easy to throw a party in the wintertime. People are cold, bored, and generally uninterested in all things interesting.
In the summertime, though, things are much different. It's hard to throw a party and make people show up. If PokerStars throws a party, though, people come out with bells on. That's the situation here in the southern hemisphere at the LAPT event in Vina del Mar.
