vegas.
epic as usual.
1. Ellis Island. Power went out in the whole fucking casino. Oceans 13 remake but way more ghetto.
2. Putting it all on black and coming up hella.
3. Putting lots of money on the Lakers and coming up hella.
4. Meeting the star of Chairman of the Board at 3am at some pizza joint.
5. Our taxi driver who makes his living selling drugs and ripping off dudes with promises of pleasure from ladies of the night. Real character, fake ass Bruce Willis looking dude with a heart of gold.
6. Good vibes, good people, absolutely amazing hosts at a sick house.
7. Jen got hit by a taxi. That sucked but she’s alright which is awesome. If I was there I would have gone with the “And shes ok!” line from Wayne’s World to lighten the mood. Or piss everyone off.
8. Some red carpet nonsense at Body English. Partying with a bunch of Janet Reno look-a-likes.
9. Texting the same phone over and over and over again just to hear the sparkly sound of someone’s text notification at 3am. Like a pavlovian dog to a sound.
I’m sure there is more. Back to reality for two more days then off to Jersey for Bamboozle then Nyc for a Rockett/Kill Brand night at Angels and Kings. Then I get home just in time for Unbroken/Threadbare/Swing Kids/etc. @ the Glasshouse. Pants will be shat.
