VIVAAAAAAAAA! Las Vegas!!!

Hey people, sorry I haven't updated in a while. On Wednesday last week I spent the WHOLE day moving out of our old apartment into our new one (with a little help from Franco). Then I spent the next 3 or 4 days unpacking everything....all day, every day. Ugh. At least it's over though, and Brenna and I are pretty happy with the place. I'll put pictures up when I get home (the reason I haven't updated or been online at all is because a)i was hella busy moving, and b)we didn't get our internet connection hooked up yet).

We also had poker night on last Saturday night, in our NEW basement! WOO! We had 14 people show up, but 3 of them left because they brought a cat and everyone was allergic to it...
Now, on top of the "check wave" tradition, rumor has it that Matt has bought us a "ALL IN!" megaphone, for our new screaming "ALL IN!" into a rolled up tube tradition!

I left for Vegas on this last Tuesday. I bought Hot Shots Golf for my PSP and played it on the plane a lot. Yay PSP.

So Tuesday we arrived, ate dinner at PF Changs (a really good chinesse food chain), and then gambled with our bosses money (it's me and one other guy I work ((Greg)) with, our boss gave us $20 to gamble with, we put it on black and it won, we kept all the winnings on black and it won again, then I played a hand of black jack with those winnings and got a black jack...then we lost it all yesterday). Then we wandered around the city, won some more money with our bosses winnings. When we were ready to go home we tried to hail a taxi down...but there weren't any taxis. Then out of nowhere a parade of taxis came down the street with their hazards on and honking, and they wouldn't pick anyone up. Finally one picked us up and we asked what was going on, apparently the city secretly passed a bill making it illegal for taxi drivers to get tips from businesses. For example, if I said, "where's a good stip club" there might be a strip club that pays the driver $20 per person they bring there, well now they can't do that. So the drivers would be losing about $200-$400 in tips a week, BUT that law wouldn't not apply to limo drivers.

Apparently that's bull-larky.

Then we went to bed?

So yesterday we had classes all day but at one point during the day got hooked up with VIP-like tickets to an Extron party....think of Extron as the Microsoft of the Audio/Visual world. So we went to the VIP party which took up a whole freggin' arena. It was pretty amazing. There was food EVERYWHERE. TONS OF FOOD. Pizza, mexican, pretzels, beer, just tons of food everywhere. We also got complimentary drink tickets...so there was free alchohal! So on top of all the food and beer, they had filled the whole arena with video games. It was just a huge arcade, that was free. They also had tons of pool tables, fuse (spelling?) ball, air hockey, bull riding, etc.

Amazingness.

Then on top of that there were two stages. The main stage had a REALLY, REALLY bad 80's cover band (with divo hats!) and the smaller stage had a hot chick band covering 80's and 90's chick songs will doing syncranized chick dances, with a big screen on each side of the stage with chick shadow dancers behind them.

That's gotta be the most times I've used the word chick in a sentence.

After the party we went back to the hotel and played some bedtime blackjack. The woman dealing was throwing the cards at us. It was crazy. She kept throwing them at my knuckles. And then she kept getting blackjacks. So....we lost....surprise?

Alright, I have to go to classes, I'm going to add to this update later...and probably revise it a little with more details.

I'll be back in Buffalo on Friday evening...if you're wondering....
