It's early morning right now and I am having trouble sleeping because I think I am excited and nervous about my trip to Vegas. Most people know I do not enjoy flying. I have done it many many times and overseas as well but I just don't enjoy it. I think it's because I enjoy control and I know I have a lack of it. I am catching a first class flight to Dallas and then another one into Vegas.
I talked to El_Jefe and we both realized that we are flying into Vegas within minutes of each other so we can actually share a ride. Lizzie should be flying in with him as well. I got a myspace message from Shawn saying he wanted me to get like five minutes of footage of the Adult Entertainment Expo (AVN) for the show I am going to be on, "Talk Show with Bob Wiltfong". What he probably didn't realize is that we expect to get much more than that.
I spent the evening with Max, Alaina and Liz since it will be almost a week till I see them all again. We ended up eating and having drinks at Jake's Saloon. They make some good seasoned fries for an appetizer and the Mud Cake was a great dessert. Alaina tried asking for candles but I didn't feel like celebrating my birthday in this bar. Later Liz and I headed back to my place and watched a little TV. I had to pack before going to bed and now I am wondering if my bags will make it as carry-on. I guess we shall see.
I don't know how much I will be on the computer this weekend. If something funny happens I might be able to blog about it and I will try to get pictures up. A word to the people who can't make it to Birthdaycon this year, plans are already being set right now for next year.

Wow, things are going just great. Friday night I went to McCormack's to meet up with my monthly geeks. It was a big gathering because One-Ear Rob was going to be in town. It was really cool catching up with folks like Billy and Bobcat. Patty and Joe were there. Rob had his girlfriend Sylvia there. Vince, Verigo, John, Bill, Akira, Max and Alaina were attendance also. We sat at a huge table to eat, drink and talk the night away. Rob brought us all Cuban cigars and t-shirts from all over.
After the get-togethter at McCormack's we headed to Whiskey River where we continued to drink on the smoking patio. It was so funny because as I was sitting outside I saw my friend Jen walking back into the bar. We both were suprised to see each other in such a random bar. We chatted for only a couple minutes because we both had friends in the bar. The geeks and I were all asked back into the bar because it was too late for patio time.
After the bar closed we headed downtown. Billy, Patty and I headed in a cab down to my place. Bobcat and Rob decided to walk. When I got to my place Patty and Billy were going to head to her house. I waited for Bobcat and Rob, we drank and ended the evening then.
Yesterday morning I gave Liz a call to ask her to meet me for brunch. We headed down to Fiddlestix and waited for Max and Alaina. We ate down there but the service was really slow. Afterwards we headed to Alaina's place for a bit. Not having anything else to do and Max and Alaina were going to go to Jesse's party, we headed back to my place. Later we watched a sampler DVD which wasn't that good. We then went to dinner at East of Eighth.
Today Liz and I decided to go get lunch over at Chat and Chew. It was good but I wanted something more brunch like and they ended up running out of home fries at 2:00pm. I then needed somethings for my trip and the home so we headed to Kmart. I found a good duffel bag and then we headed to my hood. We hit Staples and I got some DVD-Rs and then BestBuy for MiniDV tapes and DVD Album. We got back to my place and wound up watching some Keifer Sutherland movie that sucked. I then popped in Bubba Ho-Tep. The movie ended and we had some take-out Chinese food while watching Family Guy.
Tomorrow I have to check FAA regulations for batteries and maybe get a suitcase. I might have to next day some crap to Vegas for the video shoot at AVN. I have to get some laundry done and then see how much crap I am bringing to Vegas. I did get some great offers for free rooms at the Sahara and Sunset station so I am going to call them up to see if I can score a better deal for my trip. I saw that Petty can't make it this year and there is a chance I will see Queeg. I have to see when El_Jefe expects to be in town. Tomorrow I am performing at Improdome at the PIT. Tuesday, I might or might not go to a show of the Nightrats. Wednesday I will be performing at Improdome at the PIT. Thursday I will be flying to celebrate Birthdaycon.
