this second vegas trip consisted of looooong rather boring but kinda inspiring and funny speeches and award ceremonies. i hardly slept at all. the first morning i was awoken by the beautiful melody of my roomate vomiting all over her bed at 7 am. she seemed like kind of a bitch. i met a lot of really awesome people though and had a thoroughly enjoyable time saturday night on the strip getting wasted with all my colleagues. the fact that the majority of everyone being a college kid really adds to the experience, especially since i could be my touchy feely loose worded drunken self and only be hit on for it. interesting conversations ensued. seeing my boss drunk, savoring his chicken wings, and singing california girls while shaking his butt in a lewd manner was an excellent touch. i think the night on the strip was the most motivating for me to keep doing my job more so than the "motivating" talks. on our drive home, we found out halfway home that the guy who was supposed to meet us in pasadena and drive everyone to their cars was still in Vegas and wouldn't be back for a while....that made for some stressful phone calls but it all worked out in the end. i didn't take many pictures (relatively) but i got a lot of pictures taken by other people and im still waiting to have most of them sent to me.....
this lucky asshole managed to sleep on the way up there

sarah is very fun to tease. she is deaf in her left ear. she thinks the water at this Wendy's is astonishing

too many ketchups

i never even got to go to the pool

supreme excitement

i stayed up the first night for a while...sitting outside by myself, drinking a beer all by myself wanting a cigarette. after almost an hour, a very drunk and bubbly girl ordered me to hang out with her and her friends. they were cool, i got my smoke, and then this guy started dancing around with lights....things were looking up for ol kelly gosselin

this is one of my new friends i met. i didn't think id see him (or any of the group i met that night) for the rest of the weekend but they ended up popping up later and me and him took tons of awesome pictures together. now we're facefriends

some idiot decided that on the second day, we would eat lunch outside under no umbrella....i was sunburnt in seconds

while i was walking down a hall, i noticed some other conference thing being set up for a different company. apparently they make r2d2's?

there was some fantastic artwork along the hallways as well

my phones new background

Vector is for everybody....aawww

there was a wedding below my room window

las vegas has a lake? wtf

we didn't actually get to the strip till 9 at night saturday. we rode the party bus. the drive back was way better....drunk, standing up and holding on for dear life...sandwiched between two hot beergoggled men

spencer is my new favorite person. he was my buddy for the night. he hadn't been to vegas in 15 years. i drank my first irish car bomb with him
