Well, I can't sleep so there's no point in delaying this post until tomorrow. I'll pound it out now and then maybe the sleep can set in. Today was phenomenal. It's interesting how usually the best days of our lives are unplanned, and unpredictable. Today was one of those days for me.
10:00 am. Wake up, stumble out of bed and into the kitchen. Cooked me up some sweet pancakes! Then after I had fed the beast, I climbed back under my covers for about another hour. Then I started my day with some pretty pointless activities, and a nice shower. Meet up with most of the crew from Juniper Motel plus some others, for lunch at In-N-Out, and then at The Orange Peel also. They were on their way to a concert in Las Vegas. It didn't take much for them to talk me into going with them. I'm glad that I did!
5:00 pm. Around 5, or just after, we rolled into Vegas. Excitement was high as the strip came into view, the built as we approached the fair grounds. We bought our tickets ($9) and went inside to enjoy the musical talents of Plain White T's, K-Naan, and Sara Bareilles. Each of them pulled off an amazing live performance and I was so glad I got a chance to hear them! Plain White T's played some songs from their new album due out in a few months, and I was impressed. I can't wait for its release now.
8:00pm. A little after 8 we decided to skip out on the "Bite of Las Vegas" concert and head towards the heart of the city, with all the lights and the action. We made a quick stop at McDonalds (bad idea) and I picked up 2 Monsters as well. As we approached the strip, there was energy in the air. Everything seems so alive. Perhaps it was the lights. Maybe it was the music? Possibly they giant volcano that erupted with a huge ball of Fire!! Well, whatever it was, it was great. We started off at Ceaser's Palace. I had no idea how big that place was! It's huge! There is so much going on inside that place. We watched a few live shows and Katy ate that up. We saw lots of trashy hoes, and lots of smoke and alcohol. What's Vegas without its trademark, right? The casino had all these huge Greek statues that towered over us, and I thought they were incredible. There were even these huge escalators that curved down and around inside this place. We all loved that. After we had our share of the palace, we took to the streets. We watched this crazy water show in front of the Eiffel Tower and snapped some pictures. Did I mention that I love spending time with these guys? They're all so great.
1:00 am. After seeing most of the strip, our feet were sore and our eyelids heavy. We said our goodbyes, and headed out on our way. The car ride started out fun with lots of good music and chatter, but it quickly died down to snoring and drool. It was a pretty long drive back to St. Geezy. It was even longer for everyone else headed back to Cedar. When I got home, I pulled in and was surprised to find one of my roommates in the parking lot. Turns out him and some of the B6 chicks were saran wrapping my other roommate's car. I don't think he'll be too happy about it when he finds out tomorrow! I wonder what will go down. After they finished taking care of business, we headed back to The Coop for cookies and Ghost Stories on the Travel Channel. I wasn't much in the mood for staying up though, so I left early and got into bed. That's where I am now, and I'm starting to feel the sleep setting in. So I'll leave you with that, and post more later. Goodmorning & Goodnight everyone.
