So I told you on Friday I was headed into Vegas. After work I zoomed on in, leaving work about 5:00-ish. I got in about 10:30 because of the traffic. I rushed to check in for my freebie room at New York, NY Casino and then I rushed in a cab to Palace Station to go to Jeff McBride's Wonderground party.
I got to the party with enough time to see one magician and some balloon acts. Jeff did his torn and restored dollar I like to do sometimes. I met some local magicians and we sat and talked at the bar. I remember meeting Tyler, who was hitting on Palace Station help; Dave, who was cool, a bunch of others that slip my mind too. I was wondering about the local place Denny Magic and they all recommended it to me. I found out later that it was the only magic shop besides the rip-off Houdini magic stores on the strip in the casinos. I talked with Jeff McBride and then I left to do other things.
After the after party I headed to Double Down to catch up with Jamiegrrrl. I was completely over-dressed for the Double Down but no one ever cares. I hung outside drinking my beverage catching up with people. Even before I finished my drink, we headed over to Dive Bar. I saw Delchi there and Taro was bartending. a couple drinks there as well as a shot. I got pretty toasting. Jamiegrrrl ditched me there and I ended up taking a cab back to New York NY. Since I was bored and it was only 5 in the morning or so, I decided to get on the craps table. I was between there and the video poker until 11am. The host of the casino asked me if I needed anything but since my room is comped, unless they would give me tickets to Criss Angel, I don't know what I need.
Sunday was rough and I spent most o fit laying in bed procrastinating about leaving. I didn't want to hit traffic. I decided to check out at 3pm and head to Denny Magic. It was cool, a little smaller than I though it would be since I have only seen Hollywood Magic, Fantasma and Tannens. I didn't really have anything in mind but I did get to talk to a couple of people and I picked up last months Magic magazine and a copy of this months Genii.
Traffic sucked all the way home. I do not know what the hold up was. I ended up stopping in Barstow for an hour to let the traffic clear up. I was supposed to have dinner with Sqweak and Mags but I wasn't going to make it home in time. I got Jack in the Box and didn't even stay awake enough to see Tim and Eric.
