First of all, the trip to Vegas was a blast, thanks to everyone that made it possible for me to go. Secondly, I apologize for anything I did or said Friday night/Saturday morning (if you were there you know what I mean, if not... I am sure there are some pictures floating around).Here is what I remember of the trip:
Friday, Billy and his wife (who BTW is WAY to sweet and nice for the likes of Buster) pick me up at the airport, gorge at the Olive Garden where we see Ezra. Then I go check in at the hotel. Walked into the casino with $0.75 and walked out with $29 (good sign). Found AJ and shot the breeze with him till it was time for supper at PF Changs. At PFC I saw a lot of old faces and some new ones too. Okie, Scooter, Pokie, Shiftless, Buster, AJ, Patman, Sandy, Brandon, Kiwi, Eddie and Aimee, it was great to see all of you again. Marita, Stick, Bundy, Thumbs and anyone else I have forgotten, it was great to meet all of you. Friday night turned ugly when Okie led us to the bar, the next thing I know it is daylight and Okie and I were trying to find our hotel. Found the hotel but Okie forgot his room #, I told him it was 1411 (I thought it was), LOL. I found out later he goes and tries his key in 1411... nope. Goes to the front desk, asks what it is.... 1484, by the time he got back on floor 14 he had forgotten it again. Back to the desk, 1484, back on floor 14 he finally get to his room. I found my room apparently because I woke up there 2 hours later to go out to the track with Billy. The pits at Vegas were really cool, too much to see. We swung by the Asterisk paddy wagon where Billy gets recruited to help.... then everyone splits leaving Billy alone at the booth where he is getting pounded by questions, measuring and fitting people for braces. So people start asking me questions as if I work there... kinda fun, now I want my cut of the braces I sold, LOL. When the crowd disappeared Tom Carson showed back up to take over (I think that was planned). The prelims, heats and races were awesome and for some reason there were a ton of fist fights in the stands. I have no idea why two people would fight and get thrown out BEFORE the main event? Craziness IMO. Traffic on the way back was a nightmare especially with Busterwho taking us on a "short-cut" (shaking my head). Slept for an hour and a half then off to the airport to come home.
This was the most non-stop weekend I have had in a long time and I am still paying for it, but man was it worth it.Great friends, great time. Just wanted to say thanks to all of you that made it possible for me to clear my head for a few days with some of the greatest people I have ever met. I hope one day I can repay the favor. And don't let the photos that I know are coming change your opinion of me... It wasn't my fault, Okie did it.
