[ontheEdgeof17]

^Most of these I don't remember.


Oh. You forgot one:

The Bellagio gave me crabs

[greatdarkwing]

I really do have to study, LOLOL....I stayed an extra day in Vegas to party, and I have a final tomorrow and Tuesday!

I will just say..alcohol and Ledgies = damn good times...I'll write my review tomorrow...

[Livia]

You're such a tease!

Good luck on your finals!

*sigh* I adore Vegas...I've been known to throw back a few at the Seahorse Lounge. Good times!

[estranged4life]

Why is it that I am getting the mental image of one of those "What happens in Vegas...Stays in Vegas" TV ads, except the image I am seeing has drunken hungover Ledgies? :lol:

[Rickypt]

^^Great pic. Vegas is certainly a unique experience. I don't think I could deal with it more than once a year, but it really is all about having fun.

[estranged4life]

this seems kinda appropriate if ya ask me than a T-shirt:

"What Happens in Vegas, Stays Forever" thong underwear:

2. "Forget 'Rooms On Fire', we wanted something from Street Angel anyway!"
3. "Oh good, now I have enough to get home" <---- ROTFLMFAO!!!!

9. "I met Anita and all I got was this stupid shirt..."
10. "Stop spooning Tiffany!"



I would buy all of these, infact 1 and 4 are my favorites and I would actually like to have them made. But Curtis is my #1 gay....so back off!! :xoxo:

[GarboSpeaks!]

I CAN NOT possibly top this. That's mostly however due to the fact of ending a 13+ hour car trip that has left me drained and partially deaf in one ear. (I HATE WHEN IT WON'T POP!!!!) All I can say is the show rocked. Many fine and bad points, but at some point all will add their commentary. What I am most smitten with is our group of Ledgies. I need to get things in order w/ my hubby to convert to Mormon so that I can marry Alex, Neal & Curtis...they just need to be part of my daily life. JC.....what frickin phenomenal guys. I am not sure I have had so much fun at a show EVER!!! Actually, it's the after show, but you get my point. Good music, good booze, good company. Bless Stevie Nicks for playing sin city and allowing many a shirt slogan to conceive! :lol:

O.K...Time to put some fresh ones that came to mind...

11. "The bellagio gave me crabs"
12. "Scandal and Disease"
13. "What color was our car again?"
14. "I HATE YOU HOWIE MANDEL!!!" ( Curtis, after losing 1 dollar at Deal or No Deal slot machine :laugh: )
15. "Holy Chiffon, Batman" (Oh, Curtis)
16. "It could've been worse, Tiffany. You could've woken up to a clown spooning you!"
17. "CIRCUS CIRCUS?!"
18. "Random new guy"
19. "I hope Lori doesn't think I'm making a move..."
20. "Anita snores"

HAHAHA! BTW, if anyone would like a clarification on these, I'm sure they will come to life in the reviews...

[EnchantedSLN]

O.K...Time to put some fresh ones that came to mind...

"Did that guy just moon us?"

[greatdarkwing]

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
"He's getting to second base!"
"It looks like you have sea monkeys in your lemonade!"
"In March, we are giving Jana and Sharon flowers, and Lori a bottle of Patron"

[greatdarkwing]

(I love that everyone was popping pills to ease the hangovers, and look what's in our hands. More booze.)

And I like how the 2 morons in the front row missed the memo that you were supposed to smile in photos...(You know I love my number 1 gay and my "default" gay) hahaha. BTW, I look ridiculously drunk in that photo! Oh, bad times running into the revolving glass door at Caesar's...

This makes me wish I had stayed an extra day. I love champagne when I have a hangover. Although, you know y'all didn't have a hangover at that time, you were still drunk. :laugh:

Tiffany decided to post this on my Myspace. Now, looking back, I have not made one jab at Tiffany and she feels this was warranted? Thanks, Tiffany! Your artistry is quite amazing....It's on now!

[greatdarkwing]

O.K. We are going to start with Part 1. I am going to try to explain SOME inside jokes, but not all, because after all, what happens in Vegas…you know the rest! Stevie explained it to us two times on Friday night! Looks like someone was busy getting crabs at the Bellagio while they were in Vegas…

Thursday

O.K. So I arrived and did the usual check in thing. Now I didn’t have a suite at Caesar’s with a flat screen and bath tub to fit 25 people, but it was a nice room (and I had enough money to get home!! :laugh: ). I hurried over to Caesar’s where I was about to encounter my first Ledgie of the trip, Curtis. Now, let me just say, that this was my first time meeting Curtis, and I didn’t stop laugh all freaking weekend! I honestly feel like I made a very close new friend. Well, after making fun of Stevie’s “Dreams” picture, we proceeded to go and have lunch at Cheesecake Factory (Damn I love that place). As we were walking out, Curtis points to a table and we immediately notice Jimmy Paxton, Taku, Brett, and Al Ortiz…But at the time, we didn’t know that was Al Ortiz, so we just named him “random new guy” for the remainder of the trip and the rest of our phone calls to other Ledgies, lolol. Now, Curtis and I had decided a month before Vegas that we were going to get drunk off of our asses as early as we could. Well, we hung out, did dinner, gambled, the usual. One funny story was when Curtis walked by the Deal or No Deal penny slot machine, he decided to play a dollar (cheap ass Ledgie), well within seconds his dollar was gone, but can Curtis actually leave somewhere without causing a scene? No. So, he clenches his fist looks up and says, “I hate you Howie Mandel!” ROTFL!!!! It was the funniest and most random thing ever! Well after that, we proceeded to buy champagne splits, and little bottles of grey goose and Malibu rum…Yes, that’s right….we were mixing! (insert dramatic music) well, Curtis apparently couldn’t do hard liquor shots without having a mixer. As for me, I was downing the goose and Malibu like it was nobody’s business! Well, needless to say, by like 11, we were stumbling (and so freaking drunk…we looked like the odd couple, walking up the strip with champagne bottles in our hands haha) and if we wanted to have a big night the next night, we were going to have to call it a night. So, we headed back to our hotels, and then Kim (Songbird4) came in from the airport. What can I say about Kim except that she is an amazing girl, and she complains a lot ;) Well, I don’t remember much once she arrived, cause I laid in my bed and passed right out…

Some more random quotes from Thursday night…

“Stevie is like ‘Rumours’, over 19 million satisfied customers”
“You know what this place needs? A giant over-sized poster of Celine Dion…OH! (Points to one of 5,000 at Caesar‘s)”

Friday (The day of Ledgie lore…)


Well, I gotta say that after all that I had mixed the night before, I was happy I hadn’t woken up with the biggest hang-over of life…But the worst was still to come, and no one could have predicted the craziness of Friday night…To be continued with the longest review of life in the next hour….

Dont feel bad honey. Last time I met the band in Vegas I took a photo with Brett and several Ledgies that I didn't remember until the next day. :laugh: In the photo, Amber is grabbing his boob. :shocked: Then I told him Stevie needed to change the setlist. :lol:

You guys were both a handful that night. Since I am the soul of moderation and decorum, it was a good thing I was there to babysit you....:cool: :laugh:
Poor Brett, you guys were talking over each other to lovingly accost him with crazy ramblings...wait, I meant to say regale him with pertinent and insightful questions and comments...hehehehehe. Strand talking about specific notes that Stevie hit on BATB ("Isn't she amazing? Now was that the original E flat, or...?") and where he last talked to Brett (at some hotel bar in Atlanta?) and you asking about the setlist, making suggestions for it..."You know what she needs to do, is she should bring back...". Another wonderful memory is the dulcet tones of you and strand singing at the top of your lungs at the same time going up the escalator - you singing a Stevie demo, and strand a showtune...your voices mingling two different songs in such a heavenly manner that god hasn't seen the likes of before or since...:shocked:
:laugh: :angel:

Stevie doing Vegas is the best thing to happen to Ledgies since...uh...:confused:

So keep the story coming, this round vegas people!

:laugh: :laugh: That's a pitcher of "Banana Split", a bunch of dessert liqueurs (otherwise known as a fast track to hangover). Deborah/goldenbraid and I split that.

I will name the people that I can.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v298/enchantedsln@aol.com/smgr.jpg

Starting from left and going up: Tiff/EnchantedSLN, Anita/Garbospeaks, the next four people are friends of Anita's whose names I don't know/remember, Deborah/goldenbraid in the blue sweater, and the beautiful young woman in the black dress is a lurker and I have forgotten her name (sorry!). She came with her (also beautiful) mom, who isn't in the picture.

On the sofa: Curtis, Neal, Kim/Songbird4, Alex/greatdarkwing, and me. I'm not that short, I was on my knees.

Edit: Aren't the Ledgie women gorgeous?

[greatdarkwing]

Typing up Part II....And thank God I didn't fail my final! :o

[ontheEdgeof17]

I'm not that short, I was on my knees.

per usual.


Anita's friends are as folllows:

Next to Anita is Dawn (also known as Meg haha), Ronnie, and Steven. Emily is the young lady in the black dress. She's a lurker. She's fab and hope she starts posting soon. Her mom took the pic. The only one I don't know is the girl behind Dawn and Ronnie.

[nix4life]

i gotta make the next vegas round for sure -:nod:

[Rickypt]

per usual.



If only. :rolleyes:

I guess I set myself up for that one. :wavey:

[greatdarkwing]

Part II....


So, we all got up pretty early on Friday morning. Since Kim had never been to Vegas, we decided to try and show her as many of the nicer hotels as we could. So, we went down to MGM, Luxor, Mandalay Bay (went into Shark Reef),and had lunch at P.F. Changs. Before we knew it, it was 1 p.m. and the show was just 9 hours away! Well, right after lunch we get a phone call...Neal has arrived. So, we go up to meet him at the Imperial Palace where Curtis was residing in what he called his "virgin white room"...and trust me, the only thing virgin about the room and the people in it was the color :lol: . So, what can I say about meeting Neal? Well, lets just say that Neal is one of the most sracastic indivduals you could meet...and when paired with Curtis, it is non-stop entertainment. He is seriously such a cool person to hang out with. So, we went up to the "virgin" room, and we found out Neal didn't have a ticket! Well, since we are psychotic like any other Ledgie would be, we knew the box office had nothing good available. So, we did find eventually find Neal a ticket in the secon d row...maybe at the price of our sanity, lol. I won't elaborate on that, but just know Neal did get his ticket and there was enough money to get home...:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: .
Well, by the time we made fun of Stevie's "Dreams" photo again (BTW, Who has the photo of me making fun of Stevie?) and drank champagne at the bar in Caesar's...Yes, the drinking had begun very early, it was already 3:30 and the dinner was at 7! So, we all eventually broke off and went back to our hotels for a little r & r before the fan dinner.

Time for the fan dinner....Well, Kim and I arrived at exactly 7 to Caesars and we call Curtis to find out him and Neal are already drinking at the bar! Of course, you cn already tell how the night is shaping up to be...Well, we head on over to The Palm, and the first person I see is Emily. Now, Emily as you have hear in this thread is a lurker and PMed me to include her and her mom in the fan dinner. She is such a beautiful and amazing girl...I wish at 18 I had a good head like that on my shoulders. And God bless her mom for understanding her Stevie-sickness enough to come along for the ride! Most moms just dont understand, Emily...trust me. Then I got to meet Ryan. I gotta say, Ryan is a breath of fresh air! He is really fun and an all-around smart guy, just not after kamikazee shots, but...all in good time my friends, all in good time....Then there was Deborah, who I want to marry. :xoxo: I'm sure she knows that though. Oh and she has a wonderful @ss...I was passed out next to it for the last 20 minutes of the night :laugh: ...Once again, all in good time...Then there is the other Kim (Creepingdeath) who was very quiet at first, but between me, Neal, and Curtis harrassing her she livened up quite a bit. So, we all had a magnificent dinner at The Palm...most people were already well into their 4th or 5th drink of the day. Many of us by that time had been mixing. By the way, in case you guys ever want to buy Ledgies drinks, I know their favorites... #1 gay and "default" gay (a.k.a Curtis and Neal) enjoy Captain and cokes. I enjoy anything with Champagne. Kim (songbird 4) enjoys a good glass of wine. And Ryan...well, lets just say as long as it has alcohol its the same result...hahaha. So, we finish dinner by 8:15 and its still a while before show time. So, we decide to go to the bar in front of the Colosseum...Dear Lord, lolol. More drinks of course...BTW, We are all seeking liver transplants in case you know of any donors. Well, before we knew it, it was time to enter for the show...There, I FINALLY met the mysterious and amazing Anita, who is such a fun and amazing person! I had no idea I was going to get along so well with her. I'm so glad I was able to meet her and I'm so happy she's my new friend! Then, I met Hierja <--I know I butchered that, but cut me some slack, I just took a final and I slept on my laptop...Great guy, funny, and the ucky bastard got to sit front row with us without having a ticket...again, lucky bastard, lolol. Right before the show, I got to meet the beautiful Tiffany a.k.a. the love of my life. Just such a funny and great-spirited girl....confused with life and full of scandal and disease, but thats a whole 'nother thread:eek: . Well, before we knew it, my future wife was on the stage belting out another amazing show!

Highlights from the concert..

1. Stevie, change the setlist...
2. SDMHA- If anyone has listened to this song from the Gainesville show, she's kept the AWESOME echoed "AH"'s at the end, which really makes the song.
3. OTR- AWESOME...
4. Rhiannon- Seriously, she looked like a good breeze would've popped her boobs right out...they looked monstrous! :woohoo:
5. Sorcerer- Now, Curtis and I argued over this song earlier in the day, and I told him it bored me. Well, it KICKED ASS! She was freaking wild on it, and it ended up being my highlight of the night.
6. Stand Back - "WELL YOU COULD BE STANDING IN A LINE!" and the twirls were out of hand...
7. The stage...Ok..From the get-go and before I forget to tell you...the stage was different this time. Celine's stage is normally very angled and it looks like it makes Stevie uncomfortable. Well this time, they built the front portion a good 8-12 inches higher to make the front completely even. It was weird, but Im sure this was why Stevie felt comfortable enough to wear the boots the entire night...
8. Landslide- Longer ending like on the Melbourne show...amazing
9. GDW- Now like 9 minutes long...its becoming more and more dramatic and she really gets serious.
10. FFG- Surviiiiiive... I couldn't help but laugh when I heard her miss the high note. I immediately looked at Curtis and started LMAO!! He always makes fun of her for never hitting that note.
11. HSML- Seriously Stevie, it drags, kick it from the set...
12. Blue Denim - Oh, my bad, this was in my dreams...
13. Edge - According to Kim, I am a Stevie hog, bc EVERYTIME she comes to shake my hand she doesnt leave me for a while. Well this time she grabbed both of my hands, and blew her 3 kisses and her face lit up like a Christmas tree...I'm telling you, I think I could seduce her...:laugh:

Well, the concert was over before we knew it, and we were all on such a concert high! W could not believe the night was over. But, we decided it was time to go drinking...and boy oh boy...the night was just beginning....

Did Curtis, Neal, Lori, and Jimmy ended up in a drinking orgy? Did Tiff get spooned multiple times? Just how crazy is Anita? Was Alex contemplating seducing Karen to get to Stevie? Does Lori prefer Patron or Margaritaville tequila?

Stay tuned....Part III still to come....and ALL THE SCANDAL AND DISEASE YOU HAVE BEEN HEARING ABOUT....;)

~Kim

[Neal]

So, what can I say about meeting Neal? Well, lets just say that Neal is one of the most sracastic indivduals you could meet...and when paired with Curtis, it is non-stop entertainment. He is seriously such a cool person to hang out with. .

Awww... you're such a sweetheart! If only you swung my way... ;) :p

And I proudly accept your title of "Default gay"! :cool:

[Landslide34]

Thanks for the welcome everybody!
Kim! I will definitely post my band encounter and pics, but i think i'll hold off until Alex finishes part III of his review, because it will make more sense and be a lot funnier if it's posted in chronological order.

[WelshWitchPMD]

O.K. We are going to start with Part 1. I am going to try to explain SOME inside jokes, but not all, because after all, what happens in Vegas…you know the rest! Stevie explained it to us two times on Friday night! Looks like someone was busy getting crabs at the Bellagio while they were in Vegas…

Thursday

O.K. So I arrived and did the usual check in thing. Now I didn’t have a suite at Caesar’s with a flat screen and bath tub to fit 25 people, but it was a nice room (and I had enough money to get home!! :laugh: ). I hurried over to Caesar’s where I was about to encounter my first Ledgie of the trip, Curtis. Now, let me just say, that this was my first time meeting Curtis, and I didn’t stop laugh all freaking weekend! I honestly feel like I made a very close new friend. Well, after making fun of Stevie’s “Dreams” picture, we proceeded to go and have lunch at Cheesecake Factory (Damn I love that place). As we were walking out, Curtis points to a table and we immediately notice Jimmy Paxton, Taku, Brett, and Al Ortiz…But at the time, we didn’t know that was Al Ortiz, so we just named him “random new guy” for the remainder of the trip and the rest of our phone calls to other Ledgies, lolol. Now, Curtis and I had decided a month before Vegas that we were going to get drunk off of our asses as early as we could. Well, we hung out, did dinner, gambled, the usual. One funny story was when Curtis walked by the Deal or No Deal penny slot machine, he decided to play a dollar (cheap ass Ledgie), well within seconds his dollar was gone, but can Curtis actually leave somewhere without causing a scene? No. So, he clenches his fist looks up and says, “I hate you Howie Mandel!” ROTFL!!!! It was the funniest and most random thing ever! Well after that, we proceeded to buy champagne splits, and little bottles of grey goose and Malibu rum…Yes, that’s right….we were mixing! (insert dramatic music) well, Curtis apparently couldn’t do hard liquor shots without having a mixer. As for me, I was downing the goose and Malibu like it was nobody’s business! Well, needless to say, by like 11, we were stumbling (and so freaking drunk…we looked like the odd couple, walking up the strip with champagne bottles in our hands haha) and if we wanted to have a big night the next night, we were going to have to call it a night. So, we headed back to our hotels, and then Kim (Songbird4) came in from the airport. What can I say about Kim except that she is an amazing girl, and she complains a lot ;) Well, I don’t remember much once she arrived, cause I laid in my bed and passed right out…

Some more random quotes from Thursday night…

“Stevie is like ‘Rumours’, over 19 million satisfied customers”
“You know what this place needs? A giant over-sized poster of Celine Dion…OH! (Points to one of 5,000 at Caesar‘s)”

Friday (The day of Ledgie lore…)


Well, I gotta say that after all that I had mixed the night before, I was happy I hadn’t woken up with the biggest hang-over of life…But the worst was still to come, and no one could have predicted the craziness of Friday night…To be continued with the longest review of life in the next hour….

Sounds like you kids had a wild and crazy time!:laugh: I am sure that us BuckHeads will give you all a run for your money in January.:p ;)

Are you really thinking of coming to Vegas to see Lindsey? You know I would love that but I think that all of the front row tickets are gone so you might be SOL.:(

Hi! It's Emily the Lurker from Vegas! I had such a great time with everybody, and its such a reality check being home... Alex I love your review, and I can't wait to read the rest!

Hi, Emily. I'm glad you came out of lurkdom. It was great meeting you and your mom. It was very nice of your mom to take you to Vegas but it seemed like she had a fun time also.

[Landslide34]

It was so great meeting you too! My mom loved meeting all of you, and she was blown away by the concert! I (with all of your guys' help) have officially converted her into a full blown Stevie fan! She's already trying to convince my dad to bring us back in March!

[GardenStateGirlie]

alex, you lush!

glad you all enjoyed the show and had a great time :nod:

[greatdarkwing]

This post has been edited for content. It is not recommended for older and sensitive lurkers. Parental discretion is advised...

Part III...

So, the concert has ended, and the real party-going fans are all geared up waiting to hang out. After having to be kicked out of The Colosseum, we gathered in front and decided we all needed to go drinking (like we hadn't already been drinking). Well, we all gathered at a bar and I immediately decided I should try to loosen up the crowd so to speak, so I ordered my little group of 7a round of kamikazee shots...For those non-alcoholics, a kamikazee shot consists of vodka, triple sec, and lime juice, and its not too strong and is a good way to get the party started. Well, Curtis was pitching a fit bc he doesnt like shots...But after the whole table yelled at him he decided to drink it. So, we toasted and downed our shots and movd on to the next round. Needless to say, Curtis drank his shot like a cup of tea! :distress: Then we had an extra one beause Kim didnt want to drink...so Neal and I gladly took care of the rest. Well everyone started ordering their own rounds...some people got pitchers of mixed drinks and shared...Curtis and Co. got a vodka, rum, lemonade looking thing that looked like it had a package of sea monkeys mixed in. Well, everyone picked their poison and we were having an amazing time. As we are sitting there, some random guy comes up the railing next to our group and is staring at us. Now, he looked bombed...Well after staring at us for like 15 seconds and us staring right back ith a look of "WTF", he walks down the railing. Next thing we know he looks at us again and starts unbuckling his pants. Well, we all turned away as he proceeded to moon us..Gross, lol. Then he comes back up the railing to the table next to us and starts kissing a random girl's arm...and she totally ok with it...He's a mooner, but he had skills, lol. By this time everyone was laughing, living it up, and nice and toasty and word had been circulating about bar hopping earlier in the night. Well, leave it up to the buzzed 21 yr old to lead the way to go bar hopping. Emily decided she was going to call it quits...Given she's 18 I didnt blame her, we were all buzzed, but Im sure we were highly enetertaining. We said goodbye, and I just started walking along and everyone followed. Someone told me Curtis had gone to the bathroom and I distinctly remember me saying, "Its O.K., He'll get the memo" :laugh: I'm such a good friend...2 days in and I already sold Curtis down the river!

Well, Tiffany and I arrive at the new bar and we sat down and ordered a beer (probably what put me over...the mixing was out of hand...wine, champagne, vodka, rum, and now beer). Well after a good couple of minutes, Deb finds us and says they were at the other side of the bar. So, we headed on over there and before we knew it it was like 11-12 fans peppered with band members. Jimmy, Waddy, Brett, Lori, Karen to name a few. Well, it was quite a funny site. Next thing I know, Lori's ass in right in my face s she decides to stand next to me and have herself some tequila shots, lolol. (BTW, Tiff totally made a move on Lori...but we dont have time for that right now ;) ) Well, next thing I know, Ledgies are hanging over band members, photos are snapping left and right. It was like if we had seemingly started to blend with the band. From what I could hear, Neal was starting to talk to Lori (later to find out he was ripping Jana, lol "thumbs up!") and Waddy gave 'Rooms On Fire' the kiss of death it seems. But it was such a funny sight to see...within 20 minutes of drinking with the band, every Ledgie was just comfortable as hell, chatting it up, criticizing the setlist, etc...Really a funny thing to see. During this time, I was also introduced to Anita's friends Ronnie, Dawn (Meg, lol), and Steven. Great people! And I just want to say that if Anita and I hung out more often we would be in jail and never see the light of day..thats how much trouble we'd get into!

Now at around 3 a.m. they decide to kick us out of the bar because it was closing..SAY WHAT!? No way was this party ending...Well as we are exiting, Steve is telling us to come join them at the bar we were originally at. Of course, we followed and the partying continued until 5 in the morning. The two gays picked up two girls....how this happened and I ended up solo, I will never know...But I didnt want to become Ledgie lore and hook up in front of everyone, lol (Yes, I am VERY easy when I am drunk...single women better watch out). Well, by 5 a.m. I realized I definetly had a flight at 8:25...3 hours away! After Curtis, Tiffany, and Anita convinced me, I decided to miss my flight and stay the extra day with them...and boy am I glad I did. We all ended up agreeing to call eachother for brunch at Paris. So, around 5 a.m. as Lori was being "escorted" away, we all dispersed...or should I say stumbled...back to our hotel rooms.....

Part IV (The End) still to come....

[greatdarkwing]

alex, you lush!

glad you all enjoyed the show and had a great time :nod:


Um, when are we partying?! :D School is over-rated isn't it?

[ontheEdgeof17]

She's already trying to convince my dad to bring us back in March!

Ohhhh yeah! You, Kim, and I must shop for diamonds.

[greatdarkwing]

It was so great meeting you too! My mom loved meeting all of you, and she was blown away by the concert! I (with all of your guys' help) have officially converted her into a full blown Stevie fan! She's already trying to convince my dad to bring us back in March!

Haha, thats great! I'm glad we could convert someone to our religion! Oh, and its good to see you posting alot now.

BTW, Curtis, IMs, stat!

[Landslide34]

Most definitely! That would be so much fun, the three of us jewelry shopping would be amazing!

[GardenStateGirlie]

Um, when are we partying?! :D School is over-rated isn't it?

when i'm done being a debbie downer and can afford to travel. i have a work party on the 19th with an open bar and i'm not even drinking! alcohol will impair my ability to study for this damn test.

school is completely overrated. so is working for a living. i still think i should be jason's trophy wife. that has sitcom written all over it :laugh:

[greatdarkwing]

Part IV...

Well sometime around Saturday, everyone staggered out of bed. Some of our Ledgies came and went....Kim 1, Kim 2, Ryan, Deborah, Emily, all left on Saturday...Emily had a very interesting band encounter which she will hopefully post soon. As for the rest of us, '10 AM' at the Paris Buffet turned into a very hungover '1 PM'. That was another highlight of the trip..Me, Curtis, Neal, Steven, Anita, Tiffany, Dawn, and Ronnie. Lots of confessions...For example, we found out that Anita spooned Tiffany the night before. We also learned that Anita randomly hums Mary Poppins songs to herself. It was such an amazing brunch! We got to know so much about eachother. AND over champagne...lol. What else could be better!?! Another true confessions came when Tiffany admitted she sleeps with the covers over her head with a little breathing hole! I LEPT WITH JOY! I thought I was the only cocoon sleeper in the world! I know longer felt like a freak! Tiffany might still be a freak, but it was good to know I wasn't! ;) So, after a very relaxing and filling brunch, Steven and the girls decided they needed a nap. Well, the day was only just beginning for Curtis, Neal, and I. We headed over to a magical place called 'The Zen Zone' in the Aladdin shops. Here, for 20 dollars you get 10 minutesin a water massage bed, and 10 minutes on an oxygen bar with different massages and hot wraps. Well, since I knew the guy and brought him alot of business in the past, he hooked us up with 35 minutes on the oxygen bar...The funniest part was when Neal was asked: "I'm gonna give you a massage with these happy hands, okay bro?" He wanted you, Neal, LOLOL. Well, regardless we left there floating on a freaking cloud. Next thing we did was head on over to Curtis' hotel so he and Neal could change, etc. While Neal was upstairs Curtis and I decided to play some sluts, I mean slots. Well how about Curtis wins 100 + dollars on a penny slot! So, Im jealous and I decide to sit down and play 25 cents Wheel of Fortune (Hey, what can I say, I'm a big balla' like that:laugh: ). Well I got to spin the wheel and freaking hit the jackpot of 1,000 credits which lands me $250. The lady next to me was so pissed off, she was like "I've never seen that before!" Don't hate the player, lady, hate the game. :cool: Well, Curtis and I quickly came to the conclusion that Neal is just a bag full of bad luck, so when he came down we told him he was voted off the trip, to go upstairs and get his bag, haha. So, we went back to my room so I could change...I come out of the bathroom and the two of them are watching Legally Blonde...I felt so gay, lol.

On our final leg of the journey, we headed off to the Venetian to eat at the Grand Lux Cafe...or as I was pissed to find out "Cheesecake Factory with another name"..Those bastards tried to pull a fast one on me. We all having a great time and we were realizing our Vegas trip was almost coming to an end! So, what do we do? Gambled. :laugh: There was very little to no drinking that night, so we had to replace it with another offense and we chose gambling. It was funny to see Anita frustrated at her Star Wars machine. Also I tried to help Tiffany at the Enchanted Unicorn slot machine by rubbing the unicorn. She yelled at me: "STOP STROKING MY UNICORN!" :laugh: My response of "I GUESS I'M NOT GOOD AT STROKING THE UNICORN" was only warranted when she lost her money, hahaha. Another funny moment of the night involved Neal...realizing he's a loser, he gave me 1 dollar and told me to play it bc I'd have better luck than he did. I lost it in like 3 seconds. Well I told him I guess I'm unlucky. I go and play 5 dollars, and I come back with 58 dollars! So my deduction skills lead me to believe anything Neal sees or touches is unlucky :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Tiffany and I also tried to be cool by thinking we could play craps...HA! Lets just say thats our goal next time, to play craps. Oh, and to get spooned by a clown at Circus, Circus, but you guys already knew this...

Everyone really disbanded after the Venetian, and the party finally ended. Looking back, I gotta say that the planets aligned so that I could spend an awesome weekend with people I truely left caring about. Every Ledgie I met was so amazing and full of life that I was literally blown away. Even when we werent drinking, believe it or not:laugh: Seriously, Curtis, Neal, Tiffany, Kim 1, Kim 2, Deb, Emily, Anita, Ryan, Dawn, and Steven (I hope I didn't miss anyone), It was great to hang out with all of you, and I want to let you know that this trip would not have been HALF as amazing had you not played a part in it. And if there is anything this little drunken Cuban (straw hat, tanned, with a raft in one hand, while smoking a cigard, LOL Neal) can do, you just let me know. I seriously want March to be a reunion for us...and to open the doors to other Ledgies to also join in on our little family.

The End :thumbsup:

[GarboSpeaks!]

I frickin LOVE you man! LMAO commentary. Yea, after all this, who wouldn't wanna come to Vegas and be the next lucky "spoon" contestant. :nod: :sorry: Anyway, I am 4 pages into my journey (perspective on things) don't know if I can rival this lot or if I should REALLY spill all. haha. A-friggin'-men to the meeting of fab Ledgies. C'mon March!!!!!!
:xoxo:

[Gypsy-Rhiannon]

Sounds like you guys are the people to party with! Glad you all had such a good time!

[danax6]

Needless to say, Curtis drank his shot like a cup of tea! :distress:I am utterly, utterly disappointed. Remind me to teach you how to properly 'shoot up', Curtis.

[sasja]

Makes my day to read these accounts! Hurray for living, and for living it up! Life's short, I am so glad to see Ledgies seize good party opportunities!!! :woohoo:

Keep it up!

Sasja

[skcin]

Awesome recap, Alex! :thumbsup:

[Livia]

I think I have a sympathy hangover just reading about all that carousing and fun!

Very entertaining, Alex - thanks!

[Rickypt]

She's already trying to convince my dad to bring us back in March!

Hooray!! I swear I'm going even if I have to get a second job. :nod: Please Lord, let it be a non-smoking city by then, though. :rolleyes:

[Rickypt]

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Alex, that was an AWESOME recap. I don't think I've ever met a more generous, friendly person who is so full of life. It really did feel like the stars aligned for a magical evening (I guess a magical few evenings for you...), that was a good way of putting it.

More thumbsup:

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[Rickypt]

The two gays picked up two girls.

I was sort of curious about that. I remember telling Deborah "what's going on over there" as I got the sense the girls were hot for Curtis and Neal and surely they knew they were gay? :shrug:

Any more on this story?

[danax6]

Please Lord, let it be a non-smoking city by then, though. :rolleyes:WHAT?! No!

[Rickypt]

WHAT?! No!

Or at least have some real non-smoking sections. I have asthma and I thought I was going to die at times. Even my cab driver was smoking.

[danax6]

Or at least have some real non-smoking sections. I have asthma and I thought I was going to die at times. Even my cab driver was smoking.Okay, in that case we can compromise. I swear, I've already reached the conclusion that I'm going to have to be drunk for the entire 5 days that I am in Vegas in March because I won't have time to sleep off my hangovers, and I can't drink without smoking, that would kill me. :shocked:

just as long as you don't have to ride in any cars, you'll be fine ;)

[danax6]

just as long as you don't have to ride in any cars, you'll be fine ;)As I was telling someone else last night...cars should be avoided at all times in Vegas. Well, that and Ritz bartenders who think 'it's cute' you are from Amsterdam. :rolleyes:

[Neal]

I was sort of curious about that. I remember telling Deborah "what's going on over there" as I got the sense the girls were hot for Curtis and Neal and surely they knew they were gay? :shrug:

What do you mean "surely"? Are you saying we're a couple of flamers?! :mad: ;)

The girls (Kandace and Lindsey, for anyone interested) knew we were gay. They were calling Curtis "girl" before we even left the first bar... :D

Supposedly they knew someone who knew someone who knew someone who could maybe possibly get us Prince tix for the following night, but that kind of fell through... :shrug:

[Rickypt]

^Just curious, cuz when I was in Florida a couple of months ago, this woman kept hitting on me at a poolside bar. The whole time I was thinking isn't it totally obvious I am gay, then when I told her she still didn't give up.

I'm a hot commodity.

Anywho, I met Lindsay this year at Falls Church. Kandance, I "kinda" knew from Vegas last August. We just began to talk, that's all. Nothing too exciting about it. :D

I, too, could perish if forced to drink without smoking for extended periods of time...but on the other hand, I don't want anyone smoking in the car I'm riding in.
When I was in Vegas, the rooms I was in were mostly so large that it wasn't too bad that people were smoking. But I still felt icky smoking inside. Mostly.

Oh well, I was way off with that one. Blame it on the kamikaze and a bit of my wild heart.

[BTFLCHLD]

"thankgod BTFLCHLD isn't here!"

[Landslide34]

My encounters with the band begin just mere hours after everyone else’s ended. Somehow my mom and I left about 10 minutes before everyone else ended up meeting the band, and of course I didn’t hear my phone ring as Kim called me to let me know what I was missing. At 10 AM when we woke up to catch our flight and I got Kim’s message telling me what I had missed I was near depression.

We went down to the lobby of Caesars to check out, and as we were approaching the line I looked directly to my right where I see Jimmy, Carlos, and Brett just standing there with all or their luggage. As I make the decision that I can’t miss this opportunity to meet them all, Carlos walks away, Brett walks up to the counter to check out, and Jimmy is left standing there alone. So I of course walk directly up to him and start a conversation. Among the first things he says to me is that he is still a little drunk from the night before, but he had a great time. He then goes on to discuss many random topics including how talkative Stevie had been the night before and how much everybody loves playing Red Rocks. Midway through the conversation he informs me that more band members will be down in a few minutes so if I just hang there with him, he’ll introduce me and get me pictures. Of course I’m thrilled, and my poor mom was just standing aside letting me enjoy my moment. Jimmy then proceeds to take my camera and take pictures of the two of us until he is satisfied with one. After 20 minutes or so of talking to Jimmy, Brett reemerges from the Caesars check out desk looking confused after the hotel tried to charge him for some crazy items. Jimmy calls out to him that I too am from Colorado, so as Brett approaches me he reaches out and gives me a huge hug and takes a couple pics. Then, Jimmy and Brett had to walk away to get the rest of their luggage, which was over at the bell hop desk. They walk away for a second and Carlos walks back looking lost because he was supposed to be meeting them where he left them. I spoke up and pointed him in the right direction after I took a pic with him. We then said our goodbye’s as we got in our cab and they got in their limo.

As we were getting out of our cab at the airport, they were getting out of their limo right next to us, so they pulled us with them to the curbside check in so we could skip the line as they were. Taku was now with them, and he was just as friendly as everybody else. We were with them on and off throughout our entire time at the airport, and they couldn’t have possibly been any nicer or friendlier as we joked about the wonder that is Starbucks, and how unfortunate it is to be awake that early after a night like the one before. They are all great guys, and I had a great time just hanging out with them! They all seemed shocked when I approached them, like they hadn't expected to be recognized, and excited to talk about the show, becuase they thought it was incredible! The loved the energy of the audience, and said that Stevie's energy was infectious and they all fed off of that.

I have pictures, and I’ll post them soon!

[BTFLCHLD]

I have pictures, and I’ll post them soon! :thumbsup: Yes, please do. Great that you had such a cool experience with the band. Yah!!!

Jana's Journal entry about that night:

Wednesday, December 13, 2006
Prince came to the Stevie Nicks show at Caesar's Palace and invited us to his show at the Rio afterwards. It was a blast! He continues to intrigue, amaze and entertain as well as anyone in the history of the music business, in my opinion. Sometimes I just bow my head in gratitude that I was able to work with him for so long and sit side by side with this master at the recording console at Paisley Park and talk with him like a friend. I ran into Prince on a flight from Minneapolis in December 2005. He and I spoke for about 40 minutes as his bodyguard came at got me from coach. Prince was extremely supportive of me doing this CD and the magic continues.

[skcin]

^ Wonder who "us" is - Stevie & Sharon too, or just Jana & hubby? Maybe all were invited & only Jana went. :laugh:

[ontheEdgeof17]

So. No word on audio or visual recordings. Damn shame....it was vocally and energy-wise her best show in years. :(

[danax6]

I think some people are holding back. :shrug:

[ontheEdgeof17]

I totally agree with this. Best show I've seen from her since Enchanted tour.

[danax6]

What have you heard? :shocked:I could swear Brian (J) said he had it and would post it soon, did I dream that? I'm trying to look for the post but I can't find it.
