Are gonna be on a plane to the U.S of A.

We'll be getting into LAX at about 5ish at night.
We're not in Vegas until July 3rd so this thread will be pretty tame until then.

I'll try and post as much as i can.

It's absolutely freezing here in Melbourne, so can't wait for some warmth (from the sun or some american girls, I'm not too fussy lol) and cold beers!!

Cheers for reading and cant wait to meet all the JC peeps at the end of the week!!!!!

***And can someone tell me how to insert pictures properly, thanks!!****

Cool man. It's sunny and warm in LA today.

Leave the jackets at home.

Hit me up if you need to get into any of the clubs here.

[dnix]

Nice. Keep us updated

Have fun boys...you can sleep on the long ass plane ride back home.

Anxious to see how this unfolds. JC members w/ accents always have some interesting stories.

wait, what...is this true?? i've had joel's trip marked on my calendar for weeks as it would have provided me with another opportunity to fawn over aussie accents as well as all the colorful lingo.

joel, if you indeed don't have an accent then I have zero interest in meeting you.

careful what you wish for, we're now hitting triple digits every day...and given that you're pigmentally challenged (like most of this forum), you're probably going to die out here.

so can't wait for some warmth (from the sun or some american girls, I'm not too fussy lol) and cold beers!!

this is a family forum, try and keep it clean please...not to mention that american girls are kinda rare in las vegas

your "mate" looks like the aussie version of forum member "patrick"...and they seem to have had the same photo posing intructor.

Can anyone here actually confirm or deny the Aussie accent myth in relation to the American ladies ? I have a vested interest seeing as I'll be in Vegas in about 3 weeks lol

Trust me, I've seen the accent work in person. Dress nice, throw on some cologne, and say Hi. Done deal.

Shame I missed you in LA - just got back, plus you missed the SoCal AOD. But you should be meeting plenty of the 4th July AODers in Vegas right?

Aria took us bar hopping in Santa Monica, which was pretty fun. It's kind of chilly by the beach though, and gets cold at night down by the coast. Probably warmer away from the ocean though.

The aussie accent will do well for you. Though no one will know you're aussie, just like they can't place my british accent!

Have fun!

-Joel here, this is my mates evan account he created, cause for some reason the comp here at my hotel wont let me log in-

Straight up, america is crazy!!! I love you guys and the fact your drinks are soooo stiff!!! Cheers for all the love too!!!

Just been a lot of drinking being done, and just enjoying the luxury of being on holidays. I'll do a more detailed report once i get back home, however i will share this one story with you.

Last night was easily one of the most fucked up nights i've ever had, i have never had such a blank memory of what occured the night before in my whole life!!
We decided to go to the Angels game against the rangers an and decided to pre game pretty hard at our hotel beforehand.
We got there, were pretty bored and left by the 7th innings.

We went to downtown fullerton as we had the previous night.
We settled in at the bar around 10pm. Within an hour we downed a crazy amount of alcohol, which was then compunded by the fact we asked for a B52 shot, that half filled
a normal frickin glass!!!! Man tipping well pays off!!

After that is when things become blank.....and i wake up in bed the next day, wtf happened!!!!
I get up out of bed at about 8 ish, actually feeling not too bad, then to my suprise i dont see my mate in his bed.
I start freaking the fuck out, when i try calling his phone and it calls out...."what am i gonna tell his parents??...is he shot??dead?? eaten by a bear??... or got layed".... i'm pretty sure it wasnt gonna be the latter so the negative thoughts were running through my head.

I go down to the service desk to ask if they've seen him...i freaked out even more when she said no!! I'ts not until i go back to my room and the card to get in, isnt working... i realise something is up.

Its at the point i ask the girl at the lobby and she says "youve changed rooms"...i'm like what?? no i havnt... its at the point my mate arrives in the lobby.... we both look at eachother burst out laughing, while i secretly want to punch him in has fucking head for scaring the shit out of me...this is what we pieced togther...

Somehow we got separated after getting kicked out for being way too wasted (we found this out by returning the next night and asking the security guard, just really trying to piece things together)... for some reason my mate is hiding in shrubs, running through backyards from police (hes not a trouble maker, just caused a bit of havoc, that wasnt appreciated lol) in a suburb 20 minutes out fo fullerton!!! he has no idea, how or why he was there, for god knows what reason...he said he walked for at least an hour to get back to fullerton...SHOELESS!! He also lost his phone in the process.

He gets a cab back to the hotel eventually and goes to the spa to chill.... after that at like 3-4am he decides he wants a room upgrade, and completely changes our room!!!! Leading to me thinking hes in a ditch somewhere.

Personally i lost my camera (lucky ive already uploaded my photos) and had two massive grazes on my knee and ankle, while also having quite a sore ankle and knee. Having no idea how it happened!!!

[ratboyDOWNUNDER]

All in all, we laughed it off, and was pretty crook/sore the whole day... and we said to eachother if this is happening to us in fullerton, man we have no chance in vegas!!!

Also yes i have an australian accent to all the rumours created by sydney!!! Which is great and bad....obviously the birds love it, but at times its like we are speaking another language if we dont speak slower and clearly...doesnt help we're drunk as most of the time lol.

1st day in vegas tomorrow!!! have to get up in bloody 3 hours for our flight!!! We have palms wristbands set up.... and hopefully can catch up with a few JC members too!!

I'll try and do updates more often and keep this thread alive, as i said i had difficulty logging on here, so sorry if i dissapointed anyone for keeping up such a shit thread!!!
