Homeboy Show Me Love Up In Da Club

Just got back from a fantabulous weekend in Vegas. We were there for BDP's 30th birthday extravaganza and we had a lots of fun. My still-hoarse voice is proof of that. We spent Friday and Saturday by the pool, baking in the too-hot desert sun and floating in the lazy river. On Friday we had wonderful food at Diego's in the MGM grand. Then we went to Taboo (also in MGM). I had never been before. It was small but nice. More importantly it was free! Some of us (like myself) could only make it out until about 2am, but others came home after 6am. On Saturday night we ate at Fix and then went to Light in Bellagio. Getting in was a challenge--we had to cut a big line, get 9 people in (including 2 boys) AND we were trying to use these complimentary passes that we were told might not work. It went really smoothly though! Everyone, including the boys, got in quickly and for free! I had lots of fun at Light even though I've been there many times. Sometimes it's nice to be in a familiar club. We shook our groove thangs until 5:30 in the morning. After 2 hours of sleep, we got up again and stumbled our way through painfully through the sunshine, to the airport, and then back to LA.

The weekend was great but it was really nice to be back. I am a fan of cooler temperatures, a smoke-free environment, healthy eating, and getting enough sleep (enough = more than two hours). I slept 11 hours on Sunday night.

Here are some of the funny things from the weekend. They might not make sense if you weren't there...

• It's like good-stuff.
• Helloooooo, Kitty!
• BD's walking the line
• 5am Group Huddles
• KA asking: "Do you think you guys can be quiet when I call my boss?" Our response was "Of course." While KA and her boss talked, JB whipped out some surprises and threw a little sticky toy person-thing on the window. As it flipped down the window, we all cracked up. And since we weren't supposed to, it made everything all the more funny.
• Dead Man's Curve: a particularly fast section of the not-so-lazy river. We all had our favorite ways to take the curve. BL liked the cannon ball. BDP liked linking arms. KA and I liked the back-against-the-wall method. Y refused to really participate (her hair would get wet) and JB almost drowned!
• 30 Year Olds are Strong!
• Palm Tree Straws and Torso Cups are fun!
• M&M World: An odd collection four stories high of M&M inspired merchandise. I'm not sure what was more strange--that there were four stories of M&M stuff or that people were actually buying these things. My favorite things were the little Star Wars M&M plastic figures. The M&M Sith Lord and M&M Darth were pretty cool! Y liked the M&M Emperor.
• So we don't have a Steve in our group? (passing back ID's after the bouncer had me collect all of them)
• Get your Damn Hands Up!
• We helped JT bring Sexy Back.

Am I forgetting anything?
