Well I'm back from ol' Las Vegas,
I was kind of disappointed to.
The trip started off HORRIBLY, as the follwoing happened:
1)I woke up early for the airport, not getting much sleep in the first place because of 'tension'
2)I went to get some aspirin for the trip, since I get constant headaches, and would be at a loss with out them.
3)When I returned, the stupid idiot neighbor lady came out, and started yelling at me for 'touching her driveway'-long story, but she's a royal bitch anyway.
4)Had my father pick me up for the airport, and had him drop us off at approximately 10:30am(the recommended timet o arrive)
5)Had to remove many articles of clothing, as they set off the metal detector.
6)Had to redress yet again, and make my way up to the stuffy, uncozy terminal.
7)Sit and wait for those fuckheads to let us board, their PA system was down, and you really couldn't hear what the fuck seats they were loading.
8)Sit on the god damn plane, and wait for them to 'de-ice' it all(approximately 45 fucking minutes)
9)Wait for the god damn plane to taxi
10)Get mildly teased as the plane starts to take off, but quickly stops due to a 'mechanical light failure'
11)Taxi back to the fucking god damn terminal
12)Get back out of the fucking plane, which is one of the worst fucking parts of flying if you ask me.
13)'Wait for a short amount of time'(in the airports definition, this would be an hour and fifteen fucking minutes), for a fucking god damn update on our 'plane situation.
14)After waiting with many more disgruntal airport customers, got the announcement, that our plane needed to be fixed-and, this is fucking nice, they had to fly in the fucking mechanic from Vegas to fix the god damn fucking plane.
15)Listen to them also change the original depart time of 12:30 pm,(mind you, this was at 4 fuckin' o'clock), that the new depart time would be 12:30 am
16)Fucking nice huh?
17)Wait in line(again, with many many angry SOBs like myself, to get a verified time change, and a meal voucher.
18)Got me and my girlfriend's whole big fucking $8 per person coupon for food-for our 'inconvenience'
19)Have you ever been to the airport, you know what you can get for $8? Jack with some shit on the side, that's fuckin' what.
20)Called my father, whom apparently heard about it all, came to get me, paiged for me several times-though again ,the PA system was down, so I never heard shit. He came to pick us up for a while, got pissed off himself, and left in between all the fiasco, so I didn't want him to have to turn around and come back for a third time.
21)Decided to sit and fucking wait for the shitty ass fucking peice of shit plane to get ready.
22)This was after me and my girlfriend ate our enormous $8 meals.
23)Read a couple of magazine, filmed our fucking toture waiting to fucking leave
24)Had to recheck in at 10pm, to verify yet again, that we still inteded on going.
25)Went back to the terminal, and proceeded to listen to several idiots being drunk.(These same idiots were sober BEFORE the flight got delayed, and decided to spend their time getting shit faced to cure their boredom.
26)Reloaded the pnae at 12:15am
27)Sat and watched the plane get de-iced again.
28)Finally, got to leave or take off, at approximately 1 am, a mere 12 and a fuckin' half hours late.
I got into Vegas at around 4am, and had to take a fucking taxi to my hotel, which I seemed to have wasted a paid day of because of my flight delay.
We ate breakfast, and went straight to bed.
The convention itself was kind of boring, everyone seemed to be either to competitive, or not so fun. Almost everyone was way to serious and anal. It kind of sucked.
On a good note, I got to see some old friends-and, we had one of the actual 'Blue Man' performers come up to the convention for some drawings, along with Teller, from Penn and Teller fame.
I also saw one of the actors from the Sopranos, though his name seems to pass me, Joe something, the guy that's on one of those weight loss shows on VH1.
We also managed to catch the 'Blue Man' show, which was awesome to say the least. All the food we ate in Vegas, was very very good, and well worth every penny.
The strip was kind of sleazy, with guys handing us(or trying to), these pamplets with naked women on them. We had fun shopping and stopping and various places though.
And, we're quite proud of the fact, that not one dollar or penny was gambled on our behalf. I'm not one to gamble to often...
Ok, I've bitched enough...

Ahhh the sweetness of ultimate boredom in the airport. DUDE, I went through the same crap when I went to Kentucky... but the greatest part was me sitting there for ages after my boyfriend and I broke up. OH the joys of crying in public. Ugh.
Glad to hear the convention was excellent.
But that's cool you got to meet Teller and some other celebs - sweet! And I think that's VERY smart of you not to gamble there - Vegas will suck your wallet dry - that's why places like the Luxor Hotel is so huge; because nobody's winning a damn thing from gambling!
