Thanks for the compliment. Yeah, we don't talk anymore. Susan. I really don't know what to say about her, it wasn't cool, and another thing I learned afterwards is that there was some female tensions I didn't fully grasp. Next time I'll be travelling with people that I've Vetted myself.
From my limited experience regarding that: tourists ALWAYS get screwed (usually on price, but many times on quality) I don't know how Indy is, but in Texas (and when I was in Vegas) it was shit-dirt-if you catch me.
Confession: we over packed that and ended up bringing some back-thats ballsy. BTW, women can carry *things* a lot easier than men can

PM me on the baked goods and other tactics. And I can't wait to party with you either, we can pre-party together

PS: I hate the Colts. But not to offend, I hate 31 other teams, and I hate the Saints more. But congrats anyway on 11-0 (mutters under breath).

AK2,

Thanks for the TR and the use of David Guetta's album. I've always had a ton of his remixes on my iPod but never a full album. Downloaded it off of Amazon the other day for $5!

Time to get my playlist set!

Glad you enjoyed it. I bought it on amazon for 7.99 and realized I bought the edited one so I had to buy it again. But I'm hooked now. I wish I could go on Jan 2 and see him in Vegas!

Trip Report 11/12-11/16

Where do I begin, the beginning of course…

Preface 1:
In January 2002 we moved to Las Vegas so I could go to film school. Being in the Western Undergraduate exchange, UNLV was my first and only choice with a film school. The cliff notes version of that trip was that we were too young, too inexperienced, too broke, too everything to make it in a foreign city with two young children. My journeys to the strip were long, long walks from the front of the casinos through the maze deep inside to the human recourses office, where I would submit myself to the horrors that only the unemployed job-seekers can understand. Miles and miles in the sun to be rejected for the last entry level janitorial position or arcade attendant. (Had I known anything about economics back then I wouldn’t have even made the trip. This was four months after 9/11 and the economy was in a shambles).

My mother came down from Washington on a greyhound bus to meet my kid brother halfway from Tucson, who was also coming on a greyhound. I rode the public bus to the bus depot in downtown and proceeded to walk north to meet her. It was 05:00 in the morning and I was in some sketchy territory. I was too young to be there and I remember a red Trans-am rolling up on me suddenly. I knew I was about to get jacked or asked for directions.
Stranger, “Hey!”
Me: “yeah?”
“You want a blowjob?”
Me, shocked and scared at the same time, “umm, no thanks”

I did make it to the greyhound station (it was south, not north) and I met up with my mother and brother later in the day. The next day our things arrived from Alaska via a shipping service. We got the call at about 16:15. It closed at 17:00. We had been living out of our suitcases, my pregnant girlfriend sleeping on the floor, no dishes, no TV, no toys for my kids. I had to get a U-haul and get my things.

I scanned the phonebook for the closest U-haul and discovered it was only a few miles away. I wouldn’t make it on the bus to get the truck and then make it to the freight place. My only hope was to ask them if we could rent if over the phone and take a very expensive cab ride to pick it up. I told the guy my predicament and he told me to be cool.

“This is Enterprise U-haul, we’ll pick you up. But, uh, the driver likes Budweiser, like a six-pack”

This seemed to be a fine trade off for me, so I asked him to meet me down at the Vons at the corner of Tropicana and S. Maryland. We got our stuff at like 16:55 and managed to get it unloaded into our apartment by about 20:00. My mother and brother had to leave in a few days back to Washington and I had the U-haul until 17:00 the next day. So, broke as shit, and knowing I didn’t have a lot of time with my family, I put my mom and brother in the back of a dark U-haul, my baby and my little daughter and my pregnant girlfriend in the cab and we cruised the strip. In a U-haul.

I managed to park it somewhere up near where the Encore is now. As we walked through Caesar’s palace and saw the Fountains at Bellagio I felt totally inadequate. I told my mother I wanted to be sick, filthy, fucking rich. I remember my mother saying I was avaricious, and it’s true, I am a greedy motherfucker. I told her I just wanted to have it all so I could give it to her and treat my family to what I thought they deserved.
It was the only time my mother would get to see Las Vegas; she died two years later.

I reason I’m telling you this is so you have just a little bit more background on me and this horrible, fantastic city. I fell in love with it when it kicked my ass in 2002. And I’m still in love with it.

Yeah, I think Billy coulda totally closed it, he was just awkward, thats not the word, he bombed with her. There was an idea about shooting AOD, I think that would be awesome.
