An elderly man sits in his favorite spot doing his daily crossword,

Say Something Already!

Since my friends are celebrating my birthday with an "unknown event"  I figured I'd go ahead and get a haircut to make sure I looked my prime for said party. I walked in sat down expected to get my ear talked off by the hair stylist. nothing. Usually I can't wait for the hair cut to end so my ear will stop bleeding due to the high pitch yapping voice from the just graduated from hair school twenty year old blonde. Sitting there in silence staring at my self in the mirror, while the girl hacked my head, felt like hours. I decided to say something, so making a quick observation I said: "Is it usually this slow on saturday?". "Nope" she said "seems like since the weather is warm no one wants to come in." Yes! She mentioned the weather, we are going to small talk and the awkward is going to go away! I got my hopes up way too soon. she sat there in her silence as if saying "there is nothing you can do to get me to talk". quiet. he opened her mouth. oddly I got excited. This time we are going to have a conversation. "Do you like your neck round or square?" DAMN IT! WHY WONT SHE TALK! I tried, brought up little things like school, or the fact it was my birthday, and even how over due I was to get a hair cut. nothing. Stone-face Stylist sat there in her silence with that smirk I grew to hate over the 30 mins we spent together. I, defeated told her my hair looked good, paid my bill and left.

THATS HOW WE DO VEGAS

The sound of Ding, Ding Ding. The flash of lights, the smell of smoke mixed with sweet casino. cnsored posters, over priced food. and the best entertainment in the world. no folks im not talking about my family reunion (where all but entertaining actually applies) I'm talking about Las Vegas!

Looking out my room on the 33rd floor of TI (Treasure Island) I have a veiw of all off sin city. of course let it be my luck of having the veiw be on the exact opposite of Las Vegas Blvd. But still, not the point. The point is I'm on the 33rd floor and can see miles and miles of little twinkling lights.

So what's the first thing I do in Vegas? Find the first Star Wars slot machine I can, wait I shopped. Then to find the first Star Wars slot machine. ladies and gentlemen it exists, two rows over from the MGM lion habitat sits the greatest slot machine known to man. Faced with beautiful R2 units and making every Star Wars noise known to man, I put my dollar in. Placed my bet, and let her roll...

Head hung in shame and R2 laughing at me

I cashed out, 25 Cents.

Where was lady luck on that one?

55 dollar theater tickets? Pretty cheap for Vegas huh? 55 dollar theater tickets for KA? I'd say we ripped Vegas off! Called the best western theater ever, KA is the Cirque Du Sole show in the MGM grand. BEST PART OF MY TRIP: My friend Kyle and I, after watching the show (for a second time in a year) and still picking our brains off the floor due to the awesomeness that is KA, waited a bit after the show. An usher approached us and we told him we where in the arts. Kyle being a stage manager and I a film maker. We chatted for a bit about the 190 crew members the 5 PSMs and the 75 cast members. While chatting they begin to reset the show. WAIT WHAT? I WATCHED THE CREW FOR KA RESET THE SHOW!! They turned on all the lights, put the stages in one piece, pulled out their flying set pieces and set for the top of the show for the next hour! Ladies and gentlemen this does not happen! You are kicked out before any technician is allowed in the house. Not only did we watch them reset the show, THE USHER LET ME TAKE PICTURES! I can now die happy.

Two shirts one hat, two meals one show, few petted manta rays, and tons of awesome stories later... I think I'm doing pretty good. Now its about 2 A.M. time for sleep.
