Vegas!

Ok it's time to catch up on blogging. June has been a crazy month. So I'm going to break it up in a couple posts. First is Vegas, baby! What an awesome time we had! I feel like I slept most of the time, but then didn't get any sleep at the same time. Haha. I wanted to leave the time zone as my new year's resolution and I did it! Dammit! But now I know what jet lag feels like! I saw No Doubt the night before we left. I caught Adrian's drum stick which is amazing b/c I never get the drum sticks! Plus Adrian has been my favorite since I was 13! I've always tried to wear what he wears and cut my hair just like him. Of course mine never turns out as good as his. But sure enough I got his drum stick (not without a fight!). So it turns out that I can't go to a No Doubt concert without fighting someone.

Either way, I went to Dana's as soon as I got home and we stayed up. It was already after midnight and we were leaving for the airport at 3am. So what's the point of sleeping? We drove around Levittown looking for a 24 hour Dunkin Donuts. And we found one! So now we know for future reference.

The first night we fell asleep b/c we actually hadn't slept at all on the plane. So the first real night, John and Steve took us to a dive bar to see a drag show! What a way to kick off the Vegas trip! It was so crazy and I have to say a lot of fun. Once you let your guard down, just have fun! Who cares! Everyone there was so nice and we made some new friends. This is Dana's new gay friend. And the girl in the middle was talking to me for a while and we danced. And I think she was seeing a girl who was waitressing there b/c that girl kept getting pissed that she was talking to me and Dana! Lez dramz! Love it.



So basically, a drag show is boys playing dress up and lip syching songs while people hand them money. And some of them have boobs! Real boobs!






Then we went to "straight" bar Planet Hollywood. It was loud club music outside on the strip. It was crazy. Dana loved it! I spent most of the time checking out the girls. They don't look like that on the east coast! Meanwhile, John and Steve were talking to every hot girl there! I learned a lot on how to pick up chicks from these two guys. Of course, the girls talked to them and felt so comfortable around them b/c they knew they were gay. But I took a lot of good pointers from them.
Here's one of the hotty dancers that was working there. Whenever someone came up to her, she ignored them and made them get away from them.



But not John and Steve, of course!




I got to do some sight seeing with Kymm and Kevin.




We went to In N Out Burger.



The Ed Hardy/Christian Audigier store at Treasure Island. But I wanted everything and couldn't afford anything.



We took a day to chill by the pool. I love my tatt in this pic!


Here's me doing my impression of Kevin.


This was our hotel with the creepy Barry Manilow painted on the side of it.



And one of my favorite spots was old Vegas. All the older casinos and everything else. And not to mention the awesome sky screen that put on the light show. So cool.








I had to get everyone souvenirs and I kept telling Dana I wanted to get a shirt for Mackenzie that says something bad on it. I want to be a cool uncle! I want her to look back on pictures and see how cool I was. Haha. So I managed to find the best souvenir ever and it was cool that her parents liked it too and put it on her for a family party! Way cool!



Can't wait to go back!
