vegas baby yeah!

ok, so jess and i checked in and as i mentioned before, we saw the interpol guitarist daniel coming off the elevator as we were getting on. very exciting!

we headed up to the room and got ready. we grabbed a bite to eat at mr. luckys. this is where we met the jackass who asked us if we were prostitutes. lovely! and he seriously wouldn't let it go. he didn't believe us.

we ditched him and grabbed a drink at the bar and then decided we would try playng black jack. neither of us gamble so we were totally green. we had the best little black jack dealer ever - his name was drew. he made us a lot of money! then we had crappy dealers after that and i ended up down about $150. so we headed back up to the room around 4:30 and went to sleep.

we woke up the next day and had lunch around 2ish. we had the best seats in the house for people viewing. all of the sudden, daniel walked by and i told jessica her boyfriend was coming up behind her. then about 20 minutes later paul walked by. i couldn't talk for a bit because i was too excited.

then we went shopping at nords and got our makeup done at mac. it was a lot of fun. a girl who worked there was going to the show and the l.a. show. the girl who was doing my makeup loved them, too. it was so awesome and we had so much fun.

jess and i headed back and finished getting ready. lolita was coming up from tucson to go to the show with us. we had dinner with her, her sister victoria and her friend adrianna at the pink taco ;)

we then were on to the show and it was fantastic! they played the lighthouse from the new album for the first time and it was really amazing!

after the show we met with harley, the sound guy, for drinks. we gabbed and drank for a while. then daniel came up to talk with harley and harley introduced us to him. he was really nice and he chatted with us for a while. then a few of the other sound boys came over and we all hung our for a little bit longer. it was a lot of fun and the guys were hilarious. one of them was named bob and he was really enjoying messing with me in my intoxicated state. it was a blast!

so they took off and i figured the band was gone. so jess and i played black jack and were chatting everyone up. jess took off for a second and i heard her chatting someone else up. i turned around to see who she was talking to and it was paul! he sat down next to me and we did intros. it was so awesome! he was really nice. as he was leaving i told him i was a huge fan and asked if he wouldn't mind taking a picture with me. he really was very gracious. after they left i totally flipped out and jess giggled. she totally hooked that shit up!!! i was soooooo happy! see the pic of us under oh my good god this is serious ;)

we went to bed around 6:30. which was hideous cause we had to get up 4 hours later to get ready. jess was heading back to seattle and i was driving on to l.a.

driving to l.a. was hard cause i totally missed jess. and, i got pulled over. seriously. and yes, it was for speeding. AGAIN! the cop asked me why i was speeding and the only thing i could think of to say was "i've got to get to l.a.". he told me he clocked me at 19 over (yes, the magic 89 mph). i told him i didn't think that was right and needless to say the cop was not all that happy with me. what can i say, i was hungover, mucho tired and just wanted to get out of the car. plus it happened two miles to the cali border. i was almost home free! jess and i decided this is a good luck omen since we had such a blast after we got the ticket last time.

on to l.a.!!!! :)
