All the Things She Said

Last Thursday morning, Buddy, SJ and I piled into Buddy’s car and headed up to Vegas. It’s about a 6 hour drive, mostly because it takes over an hour to cross the Hoover Dam. They’re doing construction on it. It took us an hour to go 5 miles. GRRR.

Anyway, Buddy and I were up there because Echo was sending us to do a spread on Vegas. Coincidentally, Joe’s mom, cousins and grandmother were there to celebrate his mom’s birthday.

I’m not going to recount the entire weekend, but let me just say it was great and exhausting.

The itinerary the Chamber of Commerce gave us was action-packed. I’ll post pix later this week. The first night we stayed at the Blue Moon, a gay clothing optional resort off the strip. Friday and Saturday nights we stayed at Paris. Ooh la la!

I did find out some interesting things:

--Despite what some people claim, the Mirage really is there.
--When the lady asks if you want an extra shot in your foot long drink, it’s best to say no.
--My sense of hearing isn’t going, Joe just mumbles a lot.
--Despite what Richard says, Buddy isn’t that rigid when it comes to food.
--I hate Cirque du Soleil and Dragone shows even MORE now that I’ve seen two in person.
--Getting on a roller coaster at 10 in the morning is a great way to start the day.
--Wheel of Fortune is THE BEST slot machine ever.
--Wynn isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.
--When staying at a gay clothing optional resort, don’t expect to watch anything on TV except porn.
--When Buddy says he was walking around the clothing optional resort to get coffee, he really means he was cruising the joint (it doesn’t take two hours to walk down two flights of stairs and back).

HAPPY TUNESDAY MOTHERFUCKERS

Las Vegas has a great all-80s station. We listened to it the entire time we were there. The station didn't play my favorite Simple Minds song, but they did play a couple of other ones. All the Things She Said is my favorite Simple Minds song, although it wasn't as popular as Alive and Kicking and Don't Forget About Me.

  • I like my coffee like I like my men: hot, black and between my legs on the way to work in the morning.

  • God, I agree with almost all of your points! I, quite honestly, didn't care for the Blue Moon. I thought it was a little dirty in more ways than one. It's ok to visit...but wouldn't want to stay there. Cirque shows are "ok". When you seen one you've seen them all.

    I am addicted to the Wheel of Fortune Machine.

  • Ok, you're going to post pictures, and you stayed at a clothing optional resort. Should I not check your blog from work for the next week? :)

  • You forgot to add that you learned the Cranberry Vodka Dance!

  • I love Wheel of Fortune (except It's usually one of those Progressive Pot machines which go for huge stetches of time without paying a cent sometimes).

    Sounds like so much fun!! I want to go back to Vegas someday.

    Simple minds...wow what a flashback

    :)

  • Please post the photo I took of Joe posing with Jerry Rice, whom he discovered is not an old Asian woman.
