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!!  ). 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….

In the photo, Amber is grabbing his boob.  Then I told him Stevie needed to change the setlist.

 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...  Stevie doing Vegas is the best thing to happen to Ledgies since...uh...  So keep the story coming, this round vegas people!

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.  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? Last edited by Rickypt; 12-12-2006 at 02:26 PM..
