AK2Vegas Halloween TR 2011

[AK2Vegas]

Thanks guys. The hardest part about writing the TR isn't putting together all the details. That's easy. It's like reconstructing a fossil. You have solid memories of points A and B and D and G so you can extrapolate C and F fairly reliably. No, it's much harder deciding what not to put in. You've also got to remember that some of the things that go down, people don't want to relive, especially in extravagant detail. And you've got to (hopefully) see your friends again and you don't want to piss them off too much.

Anyone that hasn't done a trip like this, and thinks that this many people can coexist under alcoholic pressure without drama would be delusional. That's why my first TR was so fleshed out, I knew that the participants would never read it. Writing about people (real forum members) and wanting to paint them in the best light while maintaining a small sense of actuality is a balancing act. Perhaps someday I'll put together a behind the scenes TR.

Thanks for the kind words. And no Nix, I have no idea if that was the guy or not. He was full on Pennywise the clown and I wouldn't recognize him.

Great Trip Report. Loved the read and the distraction from work. I nearly spit out my coffee from reading this part:

"Excuse me people!" I yell at the cab line, "I've got a Marine here who's in desperate need to get a cab. Can you guys let us cut please?" True patriots, about twenty of them let us walk right past them and we get to a group of two girls and two guys at the front of the line. I repeat my plea but they're being bitches and won't move. They give me some 'it's his own fault he's like that' bullshit and I call them unpatriotic. They're grenades anyway. What the fuck kinda inhuman fucks won't move for a man clearly in need of help? Then without so much as a peep, Rekon splatters the ground with his pink liquid vomit. We're inside his blast radius and since I'm holding him, I can't help it, but I give these dumb bitches shit as they scurry away from us in their bare feet and I know he got them. USMC 2, dumb bitches, 0"

Just gets me more stoked for May.

Yeah, I was pissed at the time, but I had fun writing this part. I almost posted the pic of Rekon against the trashcan, but thought better of it.

I only wish you had a new TR each week for me to read. I didn't want it to end! Great job, and sounds like a fabulous time! I'm jealous.

Thanks. You can read the others...and I may get around to posting the May 2011 TR.

Well what can I say, your writing style once again makes me feel like I was there. So sad I missed it but the adult thing was to stay home and take care of business. I also wanted to thank you for making it so long that after 10 days off of work I came back to this and now still havent done anything I wanted to today. I hope to see everyone in May and I miss you all.

I should have followed your lead and stayed home and handled stuff. May is suspect, I probably won't make it.

I was unaware that you had posted, AK, (it's weird to call you that, being on a first name basis and all...) so this is both a pleasant surprise ("ahhhhh, memories!") and a burden (" what a beast of a TR to catch up on..."). On that note, props for your entertaining style of writing... I know it ain't easy to write one of these things.

It's always interesting to hear another member's perspective of a meet-up after the fact... Gives you a chance to hear things that you may have missed (or slightly forgotten because of alcohol consumption).

It was great to meet up with everyone again... Considering I had only met you all six months prior, we started pretty much where we had left off from mAyOD. It was great to see Ginger and yourself again, "AK". I can't thank you enough for getting us on the dance floor at deadmau5... What a night!

Yeah, these meetups are always epic; we pick up right where we left off. I had a good time at XS that night and I'm glad you made it to the pit.

love the TR. miss you guys

Miss you too. If I make it to May perhaps I can help you shed your good girl image of yours I know Loves wants to. She's got a few things she'd like to check off her list.

Haha just kidding bro. Good job. I'm not just saying that because I'm in this a lot either.

...and for the record, I yelled out the window for Pete to suck it. The cab driver then kept yelling "Suck it Pete!"

I found this absolutely hilarious...yeah I was a little intoxicated.

Just a little. You're a solid motherfucker. Can't wait to party with you again. If I make it out again, let's make sure we're on the same floor. I want to make sure you and I roll out and destroy shit next time. We'd make a dynamic duo.

I've only skimmed through this a bit, but, as usual, a brilliant job. Thank you for filling in some blanks. Always a pleasure hanging out with you and Ginger.

Thank you sir. You are a scholar, a gentleman, and a fucking pimp.

[AK2Vegas]

Always a pleasure my man. Thursday was a blast...sucks you dont remember it.

I definitely wasn't mad at XS, I just wanted to make sure we were all on the same page regarding bottle whores

Good to know bro. I'm married so my sarging skills are only moderate And you're right there's a line between a group of guys being gay at a table and having the right mix of hotness there to water it down. Next time I'll pull ten.

Awww thanks AK
I just put it down to my accent, Nix can't understand me either.

You caught me totally off guard. Normally I'm never that shy. Next time I will not be. I'll be incredibly forward. You've been warned.

[Pabs]

Wow, can't believe it took me this long to find this TR. But I must say it was a great read. I'm looking forward to my 1st(!) mAyOD this year and TR's like this only make my decision to go this year that much smarter

BTW...the mystery is solved. I'm Juan (Scooby) from the deadmau5 table @ XS! Laughed about the Snoopy vs. Scooby thing

[Universal]

Just spent the last hour reading this whole report. Great stuff!

[ChappStick]

Absolutely well done!

[somnambulated]

Goddamn the memories this brings back... this is why you are going to May, just so you can play scribe and write up the TR for it!
