Don't make me go to Vegas

Day Two of Vegas. We're staying in the mom-unit's time share, and it conveniently has a couple of internet-ready computer rooms (high-speed = whoo!) and a fitness center. Good times. The conference stuff actually starts Friday, although there is a n00bie ceremony this afternoon, along with a opening reception this evening.

The flight was long and annoying, as cross-country flights tend to be. Our entertainment options were sorely limited thanks to Delta's shoddy monitors, so I ended up re-reading a couple of Duet Press prints and gave my iPod up to the mom-unit (she gives "The Queen" one tired thumbs-up). Getting on the plane was the usual security nightmare, thanks to my bionic leg. The guard who patted me down was so damn thorough I felt like I needed a cigarette afterward. The least she could have done was bought me breakfast. Or left her number. Hmph.

There was gambling last night. Things didn't work out too well: I'm already in the negative column. I picked up tickets for Penn & Teller, and I think I want to check out Wayne Brady's show, but it depends on how much money I end up with at the end of the day.

This entry was way longer in my head. Hmm.

Ooh, Penn & Teller sounds like fun! I hope you get to see Wayne Brady too...that would be a fun time. (: He's hilarious.

Have lots of fun, my friend! I know you can use the relaxation and enjoyment. Make the most of it. *hugs*

*grin* He was funny, but, half of the show being improv, some of the bits fell a little flat (IMO). Even in those moments he managed to smile and laugh at himself a bit, so it remained entertaining. I really wish he would just do a song and dance show and de-emphasize the improv, but totally fun.

And thanks! I will. I'll try to bring you something. :)

I bet! Have you seen him on "Don't Forget the Lyrics!"? That man is an amazing song-and-dance performer. I'm glad you had a good time!

Aw, thank you! You're so sweet. (:
