Vegas got a little wild. I don't even know where to begin here, except to say that it was expensive and it was awesome. To recap briefly, I sat in an airport for hours, landed at 10 PM to 110 degree heat, hit the tables, proceeded to throw cash around like a drunk lottery winner, lost it all like a drunk lottery winner, got up the next day, resolved to stop betting and enjoy myself in a suitably drunken lunatic fashion, did just that, formulated a killer business plan that revolved around confused fisherman, bought beer on the sidewalk from a guy with a cart who hated Canadians, had a tremendous dinner, met some interesting new female friends, and got besieged by roughly a billion prostitutes on the walk back to the hotel. Then I went airport and tried not to die in my sleep on the plane.
In the recap, I left out one mildly entertaining part. Sunday morning at around 6:30 AM, I'm sleeping like a wee babe on the couch. I wake up hear a loud bang on the door. I sit there for just a second, wondering what's up, then I hear the bang again. I'm in my underwear but I open the door up without looking; I figure it's one of the other guys from the bachelor party. Some dude about my age stumbles into the room and heads right for the couch. He is hammered. I don't have my glasses on, it's dark, and I just assume that this guy is someone I'm supposed to know. I want to make sure, though. I get up real close and take a good look, and I really don't think this is one of our guys.
I shake him awake and say, "Hey, are you supposed to be here?"
He says, "Where am I?"
I tell him, "Room 5901."
"Awwww crap!" He shambles his way to the door and then stops to say, "Can I use your bathroom before I go?"
I let him, and as he's leaving the room, he tries to give me a high five. He misses completely, thus making it more of a man hug (yes, I am still in my underwear). At this, he laughs like a maniac and then leaves the room.
The thing is, after what had occurred that weekend, it wasn't even that surprising. Thank God I'm home.
Also, I did a big batch update to my Flickr site so take a looksie, if so inclined.
