Saturday May 29th, 2010.
Wow, the day started off at about 6:30 AM. I was awake and feeling just fine.
I take a hasty shower and iron out some of my crushed clothing from my suitcase.
I scan over all the wares in my pockets and on the countertop from last night to
make sure nothing went missing. I still had my ID, some of my bankroll, my
"Are you a good person?" cartoon, and my credit card. Today is already
starting off as a win!
After a quick battle with the shower head and then getting dressed, I sent
what I thought would be a hail Mary of a text to Cory to see if he's even
conscious
at the present hour. To my surprise he was and also ready to go.
|
|
|
The shower head kinda sucked. I showed my appreciation.
|
|
|
|
My ironing skills are lacking. The ironing board went up to about my thighs, that's all. Damn midgets getting these rooms in Vegas.

"What do you call someone who lies?"

"Have you ever looked at someone with lust?" (duh)

Fremont street was our destination at this early morning hour. It was rather
desolate as expected. I quite enjoy having Fremont street mainly to myself and
watching the world wake up as the sun rises. In any case, we landed on trying
out Dupar's at Golden Gate for breakfast today.
We were seated just inside the doors by the counter. We could see the
reflections of all the pastry sugar rush concoctions in an over head display
case opposite of the countertop. Within a few minutes our orders were taken. I
opted for water, Cory a coffee, and we both added a bloody Mary to the list.
The bloody Mary's came out after a short while and were pretty damn good. They
had a nice amount of spice to them and a good amount of kick. Nothing like
starting the morning off right! Our orders are taken and I decide on a bacon and
avocado omelet, Cory goes for a safe bacon and eggs offering.
When the food is brought out, it was devoured in a matter of moments. Everything
was just fine and I believe I even had my water glass re-filled a few times
without flagging someone down, or getting it myself (ahem - Flame). As things
were wrapping up, I ordered another bloody Mary at the last minute. It was too
good to pass up. I charge the meal on my credit card and we wander outside.

Once breakfast was finished, we wandered into the Plaza just to see how
things have changed (if any). It seems to be the trend that nearly every
trip we make the poker room is relocated to a different portion of the casino.
This time around it's still in the same place much to our surprise. I make
a quick restroom stop and Cory's admiring the wall of recent winners. He
acutely notes "Bruce" has won two jackpots recently, one for $10,000 and another
for $8.000. He must be a local, or a hard core addicticed loyal player.
My vote is on the first assumption.
As we wander out, I manage to convince Cory to accompany me on some souvenir
shopping for my little ones back home. In the end I get four (child size)
shirts, two light up pens (they like artsy stuff) and four small bags of
chocolate poker chips, and my total comes out to an astonishing $73.56. Ow.
Hope the little bastards like their shirts. (they did). Cory is
perusing the merchandise as well, but isn't finding anything that is really
screaming his name. We wander into a different souvenir shop downtown and
he goes one direction while I peruse another nearing the front of the store.
Again, Cory really doesn't find anything that he "must" have so we wander
towards the exit. Just before we get at the door, I notice what I figure
are some cheap cigarette lighters in the shape of a gun. They're labeled
name of "White Lightning" doesn't throw me off, so I eagerly pick one up and
give it a brutal squeeze. Oh son of a bitch, if only I had predicted the
stupidity of my actions sooner.... That little bastard gave me a nice
solid shock about halfway up my forearm. I'll be damned if I didn't fling
that sonofabitch of a prank toy at least five feet, shortly followed by a near
by clerk giving me the evil eye. I don't think my manly yell of "Yeoooow!"
helped my cause. Cory witnessed the incident, and only made me feel better
with his laughter and commentary of "you stupid bastard...."
At the last stop on our tour of over priced souvenirs I take the bull by the
horns and buy each of us a 24 ounce Bud Light lime can. The total was
$5.00 before tax, so it didn't seem like a horrible deal. We crack 'em
open, and continue on our way. Our next stop was the El Cortez barber shop
for some early morning shaves. We figured the number of people waiting
would still be light, and we'd be able to get in and out quickly. As we're
walking up the stairs to the 2nd story of the El Cortez, I nonchalantly throw
away my now empty two beer can. Cory still has about three-fourths of his
left (amateur!).
We walk inside and pleasantly see that there's only one individual in front
of us getting his hair trimmed. After seating ourselves, I begin to scan
over the magazine selections and note that yes, in fact, the El Cortez does
indeed have Playboy magazines for their waiting patrons. I flip through a
few pages while we wait our turns.
|
|
|
Still not much happening on Fremont street....
|
|
|
|
Cheers. Let's get this party started!
|
|
|

Hello....lovely!
|

|
|
"Eh, she's okay, I guess...."
|
|
|
|
"OH My God, are those her kidneys!?"
|
|
|
|
Some jokes for your next party. (you're welcome)
|
|
|
|
I think this WOULD get some ratings on the Food Network!
|
|
|
What seemed like an hour later the barber finally finishes the hair cut
before us. I manage to convince Cory I should be the first shave of the
day and he doesn't argue too much. I'm seated and we begin the process.
The towel wasn't very hot or warm for that matter. It didn't have all the
perks like the scent of citrus the high end barber shops offer, but it got
things underway. Foam was liberally added around my face and
the gentle tickle of a razor gliding across my skin was the following sensation.
I think some sort of aftershave was applied and it didn't have a sting to it at
all. Done.
As Cory was seated I quickly returned to my room to drop off my bag.
Upon my return I snapped a few pics of baldy getting the same treatment that I
enjoyed a few minutes earlier. When things were said and done, Cory handed
over $40 for our shaves and we ventured downstairs to attempt another roulette
session at the historic El Cortez.

The session starts off like all others previously. Our respective
"lucky" numbers are picked, and eventually we start betting on sections and
rows. Same result as before, I'd pick an opposite outside bet just to mess
with Cory, and more often than not, I'd win. Usually he's on the money,
but this time it just worked out better for me.
I kept scanning the crowd to see if I would look up to find "Roulette Ron"
whom we met on our January trip last year. I did find other people writing
down numbers from the tote board, but to my slight disappointment, no Ron.
As we're wrapping up our session I stand up and ask the blonde pit boss if she's
familiar with "Roulette Ron." Judging by her look, you'd think I asked her
a question while my testicles were hanging out of my pants (they weren't, I
checked). She had no inkling who I was referring to. Oh well.
I turn on my camera and disable the flash before taking a few random pics of
the casino. I didn't want security to bum rush me since the El Cortez
seems to have a serious problem with picture taking within the walls of their
property. In any case, we ventured back outside and headed for
Fitzgerald's.

Strolling into the poker room on the second floor of Fitzgerald's we had just
enough time to sign up for the newly started tournament. The blinds
haven't even gone up yet, so we're still in good shape. We're both seated
at different tables and the games begin! I quickly noticed about half the
table I'm at are together, and seemingly none of them have played in a
tournament before. They were just playing horrible cards and
calling down to the river. I figured it was just a matter of time before I
got paid. My first action had came when I was dealt pocket tens, and
raised it to $500 when the blinds were still $50/$100. I had two callers.
The flop was a lovely rainbow showing 8-9-10. With this crowd, I'd prefer
to only have one caller, so I moved all in right away. Both of my
opponents called. One donkey had a J-9 for a middle pair and open ended
straight draw (I just love that he called my pre-flop raise with that). My
other opponent held pocket 8's for a lower set. The river did produce the
straight for Mr. Donkey, however the side pot that was created was larger than
the main, so I doubled up just the same.
As the blinds continued to rise, my chips continued to dwindle. The
final table was assembled with Cory and I still in the game. Just a few
short hands later I was bounced from the game. To mend my loss, I wander
over to the bar and end up striking up a conversation with a couple from
Arizona. We talked about the UFC fights and other typical "tourist chat."
I had the bartender snap a blurry picture of us before I ventured back to the
poker room.

The final table is dwindling in players and I sit down at the newly opened
$1/$2 no limit cash game that was started. At first it was just me and
another player and we were just messing around. Playing a complete hand
without looking, trading down cards without looking, etc. Before too long
the table was gaining momentum as more players joined in. Cory placed
third in the tournament which was good for some cash. Shortly after
collecting his money he joined us at the cash game.
My buy-in was seeing ups and downs as (again) I was playing too
many hands. I don't recall very many of them, however there is one
particular gem I simply must divulge.
We finally had a full table and I take a shot and make the $2 call with a
dismal 7♦
2♦.
When the betting gets around to Cory, he seemingly likes his hand and raises it
up to $12. I make a very loose call (hey, they're suited!).
The flop comes out to show a simple rainbow of 7-2-5. I move all in for
about $50 and Cory, on my left, doesn't take too long to consider and
immediately pushes in a stack that could cover me. Before the cards are
turned over I look down to the players on my right and say / slur "He's going
to be sooo mad!" The cards are turned up and Cory's simply in shock
and disbelief seeing what shape his pocket kings are now in. The turn and river didn't produce any help for him, and the
large pot came my way. He wanders off while I unsuccessfully try to hide
my drunken laughter. A short time later Cory comes back to the table and
heads for his chair. Before he can really get halfway across the table, a
kid in the three seat perks up and asks "You want to talk about it?" The
whole table gets a chuckle out of it, but I simply can't contain my laughter. My
eyes were seriously watering at the comedic timing of that one quick simple line.
Oh man.....I haven't laughed that hard in quite some time. (sorry, Cory)
A 7-2 beats pocket kings. Ow....
It didn't take too long before Cory busted. He tells me he'll meet me
back at the El Cortez in a few minutes so we can prepare for the rest of the
night. I bid him adieu while I continued to bleed chips at the card table
as well. I didn't last much longer so I left a (still) broken man, but
whoa...did I find a great story to share.
I venture towards the El Cortez taking my time and enjoying the people
watching. I come across a dude carrying a sign reading "911 = Inside Job."
Now I like a conspiracy theory as much as the next guy, so I actually chatted
him up a bit. He didn't have any real mind blowing information or thoughts
on the subject of cover ups, secret governments, aliens, but he was just
convinced that 9-11 happened on purpose. I told him there's no way George
Bush could have planned it since...well come on, it worked. I don't get
much further until I see yet another fellow conspiracy theorist. Only this
dude is carrying a sandwich board. I couldn't help but snicker at how he
tried to correct his spelling error (yeah, there's an "e" in "slaughtEr").
Good stuff.

Was it or was it not?
|
|
|
|
They'll WHAT us all?
|
|
|
After a few quick minutes in the room, Cory and I are on the way over to
Binion's where we're planning on meeting up with some fine folk at Benny's
Bullpen. On our way over we notice a tall, skinny black man approaching
us, and he's singing. This immediately signals that this was our
singing "buddy" from our last May trip. Only back then he had his lover
"Koko" with him, and was asking for money as he's "been stuck in Vegas for the
last five days and needs help to get home......" I pretty much blow
him off before he can give me his new spiel, but Cory gets trapped walking with
him. Cory calls a spade a spade and the dude confesses he was born and
raised in Las Vegas, and just uses that story as a gimmick. Guess not much
has really happened in a year? As we near Binion's, Cory's future singing
teacher takes a left, all while bellowing a beautiful tune for the other
(unsuspecting) tourists in the area.
We reach Benny's Bullpen only to find that it's packed. Our
friends Pebbles and "T" were already there, and luckily for us, they saved us a
few seats. They had already ordered a pitcher of beer, and to our delight
a fresh pizza was also on the table (if you want to call it that). A
pitcher of beer costs $9.50 but for an additional $.50 you can get a thin crust
single topping pizza to come out with it. Not a bad deal at all.
Stories are shared among friends and we sit back and enjoy a few good laughs.
It was a really great time despite the loud crowd. After the first
pitcher, I ordered another along with a pepperoni pizza. Time certainly
flew by as it typically does when enjoying laughs, alcohol and cheap pizza.
The waitress comes around and I somehow convinced her that we received our
pizza, yet didn't get our pitcher of beer that should have come with it.
She apologized and went to get our cheap hops infused nectar. Pebbles
kindly reminded me that the waitress did indeed bring out the seemingly
missing pitcher. My fault....guess we got one for free.
Pebbles and "T" had to leave after our third pitcher to catch some of the
downtown shows. It didn't take long before our now open seats were
requested from other patrons entering the bar. One request came from a
local couple. They were out on a date, getting away from their kids for
the first time in a while. The dude had some sort of broken leg and was on
crutches. At first the tattoos on his neck threw me off, but they actually
turned out to be a really cool couple to hang out with. I insisted they
help with our pizza and free pitcher of beer. Shortly after a single guy
interested in watching the basketball game overhead, wandered over and asked for
the chair next to Cory. He could have been interested in the game,
but I think the guy just happened to have a sexual thing for bald white boys.
As we're getting ready to leave I asked the waitress for a box or two as we
had a mountain of food left over. Looking back on it now, I really have no
idea why, as we truly had no interest in boxing up the oil soaked pizza, and
left said food and the 6 boxes behind. Oh well.
|
|
|
Pizza, beer, and sports. Not a bad combination.

|
|
|
And then there are the ladies...
|
|
|
|
Pepperoni and sausage... Cory liked the sausage the best. (big shocker there)
|
|

Final parting shot.

While Cory's finishing up on his cell phone inside the bar, I buy in to the
stupid wheel just outside for about $5. Yes, I know, five bucks... I
considered putting it all out there on the long shot for a quick $200, but
chickened out in the end. I lost my first bet of three dollars.
Damn. I pushed out my remaining "stack" onto the five to 1 winner, and let
her give the wheel a spin. As she monitored the now slowing wheel in the
mirror in front of her, I took the opportunity to gander (okay, stare!) at the
amazing rack she was sporting. Hey, I'm a guy....come on.... My
number actually hit. That's the first time in as long as I can remember
that I won any sort of bet on that horrible wheel. Granted, I typically
bet the longer shots, as getting paid 1 to 1 on such a stupid bet is no fun to
me. Cha-ching! The adventure continues outside in short order.
After passing the new (pretty cool) grilling station propped up in front of
the Golden Nugget, we wander into Mermaids. The place was hopping with
people. Some cocktail waitress comes around and asks us what we'd like to
drink. That's the first time that's happened to me without gambling?!
We opt for a long island iced tea.
The line for the quick drunken bar food is staggering yet, I patiently wait
my turn in line. I was committed to going a little bit "outside" the box
on this one. As my turn finally comes around I ask the "chef" if she'd
deep fry me a hamburger, bun and all. "No seriously, I want the bun dipped
in batter and fried with the hamburger." She tells me no, and that the
health department is in the house on an inspection. I'm not sure why I
thought asking for some deep fried chicken sliders would make any sort of
additional headway, but that didn't stop me from asking. Again, shot down.
I take my shame and awkwardly get out of the line. I wasn't in the mood
for their "normal" food. Come to think of it, I actually had no interest
whatsoever in eating that deep fried hamburger if they did do it. I just
wanted to see if they would.
|
|
|
They must be making a killing. Their food didn't look horrible after 15 drinks....
|
|
|
|
A packed Mermaids tonight.
|
|
|
|
They weren't thick enough fory Cory's liking....
|
|
|
|
"Why hello there, Pink."
|
|
|
It's
not long before something catches our eye at the Las Vegas Club. The
next series of pictures will help you understand what I'm talking about.
Basically after wandering inside, and ordering a drink....we oogle the eye
candy working. Whoa, they have some talent if ya know what I
mean. Apparently at this point in the night, I'm feeling brazenly
confident in my photo taking abilities.
|
|
|
"Who? Wha? Me?"
|
|
|
|
The unintentional photobomb.
|
|
|
|
Shake it!
|
|
|
|
Handing out her digits?
|
|
|
|
Her stomach is....."okay."
|
|
|
|
|
Blurry is bad, but you get the idea.
|
|
|
|
I don't recall this one....
|
|
|
|
There she is again!
|
|
|
|
I must have been chasing them...(or them me???)
|
|
|
Since we're down this way we opt to check out the Firefly restaurant in the
Plaza. In my meager opinion, it's the property's only real redeeming
quality worth visiting. Once we find our way in, I notice how rather
packed the place is. There are people at every table, and we're quoted
approximately a twenty minute wait. We opt to stand around and see how
things shake loose. We've gone this far, and I wanted to check it out
anyway, so why not.
The time seems to fly by and we're quickly seated with ease. The menu
has dozens of items to choose from with their tapas theme. I only knew of
one selection I needed to try and that was the bacon wrapped dates.
How can you go wrong there? I also randomly picked to try the stuffed
peppers as well. We didn't have a huge urge to eat, so that would be all
the food we decided to order. For drinks Cory opts for a blood orange
mojito while I land on the blueberry variety.
|
|
|
A host will seat you...

My mouth is watering just remembering these things.
|
|
|
|
"3-11?" That's Omaha, ba-by!
|
|
|
I was very pleased with the food. I now regret that we didn't order
more. The peppers were small, but they were both spicy and had a very
evident sweet finish. They were served on a single toasted chip, but it
was just enough to add a little texture. I'm not sure of the oil they used
with them, but even the semi-skeptical Cory enjoyed the dish. Now the
dates... Whoa. You can't go wrong with this dish. First the
dates are wrapped in bacon (can't go wrong there) and then they're covered in
bleu cheese (again, perfect!), and then given a little bit of a dose of what
seemed like a slight smoky barbeque sauce. It all worked together.
My only critique (of myself) is that we didn't order seventeen of these to go.
After a quick stop in the restroom, I return to find Cory has already taken care
of the bill. Time to wander out.
|
|
|
Think he's only gonna polish his shoe?
|
|
|
|
I bet they make great tips...
|
|
|
|
I said TIPS!
|
|
|
|
Yeah, I bet that's not her first "Spocker."
|
|
|
|
|
You take that $10 beer in a light up boot and like it!
|
|
|
|
The crowds are out tonight.
|
|
|
|
Where's Waldo?
|
|
|
|
Who put this on my camera?!?!
|
|
|
I snap a few pictures on the way back, and eventually we meet up with Pebbles
and "T" again. We decided we'd show them a few things downtown that
they've yet to experience. They both typically spend (what seems to me) as
an exorbitant amount of time in Vegas every year. They certainly take the
opportunity to make the most of it. After I buy Cory an almost reluctantly
accepted beer, we meet up over by the Fremont and decide our next endeavor is
the Gold Spike. Pebbles and "T" have never stepped inside the newly
renovated property, so we do a quick scan over the area. We continue on
our expedition towards the El Cortez Cabana suites. Once there, we provide
a quick tour of the rooms to our friends. At the conclusion, we stroll (I
staggered) to a lounge inside the El Cortez. We share a drink, few laughs
and stories before our guests must leave.
Once our company departs, Cory and I apparently part ways. He heads in
one direction while I manage to find a completely empty $10 blackjack table to
myself, dealt by one of their "sexier" dealers. She and I make the
standard conversation since it was just the two of us.
"How long have you been dealing?" (as if I care).
"Oh, about 3 months now. But usually I'm a
dancer." (no, really?)
"Oh....."
"......dealer has 21....sorry!"
"(slut!)"
In any case, I didn't last very long at that table.
She was cute enough and did rather well for a dealer fresh off the street.
It was at this point in time which I decided a strip club was in order! I
stood up, looked around....didn't see Cory, and headed straight for the door.
From the El Cortez the Glitter Gulch seemed like a long ways away.
But I was determined! I made it there in record time, and wandered into
the door and proudly flashed the bouncer my ID. He let loose a quick
cackle, asking me "seriously, they
let you do that?" Yeah, they did...
Once he was done shaking his head, he advised me
there was no cover, but that it was a two drink minimum. No problem there!
I settle in, and within .04 seconds I had a cocktail waitress at my side.
I let her know I simply wanted two rum and diet cokes. That only came out
to about $18.50. In any regard, I was almost tackled by about three or
four different girls in rapid succession. Same typical scam. "Come
sit and talk with me over here." Yeah, right hussy! I turned
them all away while enjoying my over priced (yet strong!) drinks. The good
looking girls on stage would pry a hard earned dollar away from me, while
the.....less attractive ones would see the back of my head gawking at
their more eye-catching counterparts. One girl on stage seemed to form a
fondness for me, and told me she'd come sit with me once her song is over on
stage. (oh, GOODIE!)
Like clockwork, I now had the girl I "clicked with"
on stage now at my side. She asked if she could sit down next to me, and
who am I to turn away a woman desperately needing a seat? We went through
the normal chit-chat, and I was prepared as usual. She asked where I was
from, and gave my standard response of "Colorado." She told me her outfit
typically consists of the "naughty nurse" or the "naughty school-girl."
NICE! She was polite and not too forceful, but I knew she certainly wanted
to make some cash off me. My typical story of
"I'm-here-with-a-bachelor-party,-they're-gambling-across-the-street,-and-sent-me-to-check-this-place-out-before-they-get-here"
came into play. She fell for it hook line and sinker. I tried
the line of "I'll call 'em right now, is there any place quieter here that I can
use my cell phone at?" Well.....that kinda backfired on me. She said
"oh sure, over here!" and led me to a semi lit corner. She waited for me
to pull out my phone and make the call. In my drunken circumstance, I
almost fumbled about what to do (almost!). I flipped open my cell
phone and gave Duster a call! He's in town by now, and if he answers,
great, if not, even better. In the end I (or should I say "we") leave a
drunken voice mail telling him to get over to this fine establishment right
away! I fed her a line that if he calls soon (despite being on "a heater
at the 'Nugget") I'd have them come over. As soon as she unattached
herself from my hip I got the hell out of that place. Whew!
I saunter back to the El Cortez and find Cory
playing at a Let It Ride table with mixed results. After sending some
texts to friends on the strip, I tell him I'm heading that way if he'd like to
join me. He contemplates and mentions he's having a good time where he is,
so I leave well enough alone. One fast, and rather inexpensive cab fare
later and I'm walking through Harrah's looking for Rog and Alora at Carnival
Court.
I find them with ease and we contemplate what to
do. Alora is tired from a long day, and I have just enough time to say
hello and give her a quick hug before she's off to her room. Rog and I
decide to head on over to Wynn and see what's going on there.
Once inside we easily find an seemingly open table
at Parasol Up Parasol Down Lounge. We settle in and watch the eye candy
walk by. Rog orders a margarita while I opt for what was likely an
expensive mojito. I notice the table across from us is opening a new
bottle of Cristal and mixing it with "5 hour Energy." Okay.....
Rog and I settle in and start talking about the various strip clubs in town.
Rog and I talking about dancing girls tonight? No way! We have a few
good laughs and once we both finish our drink, we decide to part ways.
It's been a long day and Rog's room is calling his name.
I take the opportunity to simply stroll around Wynn
on a fine Saturday evening. I think it was just late enough that the clubs
were starting to slow down, and the working girls were creeping out. Let
me just say this......OH, MY, GOD..... Every girl I saw was wearing a
dress at least sixty five inches above her knee. And they were all
attractive. I'm not talking about 6's or 7's.... I'm talking about
8.5's and up. Every girl I saw was simply stunning.
I opted to NOT take my camera out of my pocket, as
I'd quickly and rightfully be labeled "that guy" and just feel dirty. It'd
be one thing if it was a single (no flash) pic here and there, but in my
current state, I'd probably be recording video of every girl's short skirt until
security stopped me. I sadly admit, I was almost drooling. I
couldn't believe some of the "dresses" I was seeing. In my many adventures
to Vegas, I've never seen this much eye candy in one place at one time (without
paying for it, and it being nude!). It was simply amazing. These
girls were everywhere. Perhaps it was the fact the clubs were shutting
down....the UFC fight was in town.....or that Kevin and Rog were at Wynn....
I'm sure it was a combination of all of the above, but whoa..... Simply
stunning.
There was one almost awkward moment when I was
turning right onto a path while another girl was turning left from the opposite
direction onto the same walkway. I guess I made eye contact with her for a split
second too long, as she clearly asked me with no reservations "do you have a
room here?" I didn't really know how to respond as the only thing running
through my mind was "THIS IS MY CHANCE TO WIN THE BET WITH CORY ABOUT THE PRICE
OF A HOOKER!" I awkwardly told her "I do have a room, but not here."
To that she countered "Well, where is your room?" DAMN IT! At
this point I just tell her that my room is no where near the strip, and that
she's wasting her time, and I know she's trying to make some money. She
says NOT ONE word to me for calling a spade a spade and just veers left like
Maverick and Goose in Top Gun. Wow....that was a little anti-climatic.
My first knowingly conversation with a working girl, and THAT'S how it
ends. I feel so cheap!
I hike my way to the front of the casino near the
main entrance. Sure enough I see
Minotauro
Nogueira and his twin (I didn't know he had a twin) walking right past me.
Of course each of them had an attractive blonde girl in arm, with their posse
following shortly behind. I've always wanted to jump in front of a huge
bad ass and ask him "Has anyone ever called you a PUSSY to your face?
...Because, I'm not doing that...." This would have been that
opportunity, but I didn't want to be picked up by my throat and tossed into a
corner. I didn't even realize he was on the fight card that night.
If I had known that, I might (might) have asked for a picture as my wife
and I are fans.
Once I make my way towards the cab line I'm asked
by a group of about a dozen smoking hot Asian girls ALL wearing short
black dresses if I could take their picture together. Hell, I almost asked
if I could be IN the picture with them, but held back. I snapped their two
pictures, returned their camera and made my way into the growing taxi line.
A few minutes later they're all lined up behind me waiting for cabs, and it
doesn't take too long before one of them is blowing chunks ("and tell Chunks he
owes me ten bucks!") into a nearby trashcan. Two other girls held her hair
back while she continued to spit out the contents of whatever club and
restaurant she was at previously. Still......a dozen good looking
Asian girls all in SHORT black dresses behind me...... I'm
assuming it was a bachelorette party of some sort.
I finally get my cab, and venture downtown.
Once I arrive I head straight to bed. I probably sent out
some obnoxious tweets, but it's all good. Time for some Zzzzzzzz's.................
