What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas…unless you bring a camera.
We’re going to Vegas Tue-Thurs of next week. My husband’s going for a ski industry tradeshow, and I’m going along because 1) I’ve never been, 2) I need some time alone (he’ll be tied up most of the day at the tradeshow), 3) I need some time alone with him (it’s at least a four-hour drive) and 4) one of our favorite metal bands, Three Inches of Blood, are playing a promotional show for his company. That’s the main reason I’m going. Three Inches are playing a free show for you guys? I’m there!
They’re also playing in Corona tonight and LA on Monday but I’m gonna skip those. I just missed a show with a couple of my favorite live bands last night–weeknight shows are so hard–I hate missing good shows. And with the way LA is for shows, I’m always missing good shows. But we’re catching Fu Manchu tomorrow night, and I’ll be seeing Three Inches in Vegas.
Anyway, what should I do/see while I’m in Vegas? Daniel loves the Liberace Museum, so I might check that out. What else?
Any bloggers live in Vegas and want to say hi?
Daniel’s boss called us to find out what hotel we wanted to stay at. I asked Daniel, since I’ve never been to Vegas, and he said, “Anything, as long as it doesn’t have a vibrating bed.” I was thinking a vibrating bed could be interesting, but I told his boss, “Anything, as long as it’s clean.” Daniel’s boss, knowing us well, said, “The Hard Rock Hotel it is!”
I need to burn some mixes for the roadtrip. I’ve already got a Calexico mix I just made for BTD_Greg and Allison which I’ll be taking a copy of–perfect desert music. I’m thinking I may burn a mix that alternates between doom and thrash metal, but it may end up just being frustrating for both my husband and me, I’m not sure. I’ll probably burn a mix of songs we both really love, which will include stuff by Prince, Sade, the Police, Madness and George Michael. And I’ll for sure bring my wake-up-and-sing mix, which is full of songs I HAVE to sing along with when I hear them–good for staying alert while driving long distances. Any other ideas for music I should bring?
