"Bright lights city gonna set my soul gonna set my soul on fire"
VIVA LAS VEGAS!!!!!
top 10 highlights of Vegas trip include:
1. The worlds biggest Thermometer in baker, and the woman who worked at the nature center we ate lunch in front of watch us eat the entire meal, and as we were packing up afterwards told us that there is a park with picnic tables down about a half a mile that we could have eaten at.
2. Staying at the Gold Spike. http://www.cheapovegas.com/goldspike.html
Those who've been understand. Those who haven't, what are you waiting for?
3. The wierd lady staying across from us who "used to live in oakland, but came to vegas for a weekend and has never left" She left peices of toilet paper behind her as she walked around. It was really weird.
4. The guy that stood about 200 feet away from us by a thrift store, and cheered on varius people from our group as they took drinks from our water, yelling "That's Refreshing" or "MMM, this sure hit's the spot"
5. The Lady who after rushing into a restroom proclaimed in full on peer jumping, hell fire and brimstone voice "Hurray, Hurray, Do what you got to do, but Harray... Take your Time but Hurray"
And then put paper towels in her pants.
6. The radio station that for the entire weekend played "Welcome to the Jungle" on repeat.
7. The entire closing crew of Tower records, who I was in a car with, having to call in 2 hours late because the freeway was shut down due to a huge fire.
8. Drinking a ridiculus amount. Leaving both evenings, with a flsk full of Southern Comfort, pockets stuffed with mini bottles of Scotch, and still managing to drink a ton of beers and a couple of drinks each night.
9. Spontaniusly breaking into "it's Getting hot in Here" at the top of our lungs for the whole weekend.
10. Timing the Cd so that as soon as we drove in to the Strip for the first time, the whole back seat was woken up to neon lights everywhere, and The Dead Kennedys version of Viva Las Vegas.
In other news:
less then a month till we leave for the roadtrip. Any one want house guests? , especially anyone who lives near the 10 in Texas. There is no fucking free campgrounds in Texas. God Damn it.
And the listening selections of the day are-
"Bettie Page- Danger Girl", It's a burlesque music collection that comes with a 20 page booklet of Betty Page pictures, many of them bondage, and "22 tracks of Spy Jazz" . It's all really ggoddmusic, but has no liner notes, so it's hard to figure who any of it is by. I think it's a cool Idea to package a themed CD like this. It's especially neat, beause some great music will get heard by more people because it's attached to Bettie Page's name. I've also been listening alot to X Ray Spex, and Tom Waits. It's a good combo.
Suggested Listening: Captain Beefheart & his Magic Band- "Trout Mask Replica" I list this because my roomate recently remarked that she really likes ne of the Captain Beefheart albums she bought, but that she bought Trout Mask Replica, and tath she onloy listnred to a few minutes and gave up. DON'T DO THIS!!!! Stick with it, it will be rewarding, I promoise!
