I've seen the look of a heart-shaped turtle dove.

So i know i haven't posted much lately, thought i would take a few minutes now to put up a new post. Alot has been going on in my life and out in Vegas.

For one i now have a fulltime job at the Wynn on the new show -Danny Ganns. So i have been putting in shit tons of hours getting the show up and ready for production. We did almost 2 months of install work and are just now getting into the technical rehersals. The show opens February 6th, so if you make it out you should totally check it out. It is a great production and Danny is great at what he does. If you arn't familar with him, wiki- him. It is a combination of musical numbers with comedy and vocal imatations of 100's of musical artists and celebrity's. Having sat through about 100 hours of the show thus far i can tell you it is worth checking out.

So there are pro's and con's to this new job at the Wynn. It doesn't pay the best and provides no health insurance, but the fun things are that on the 3 days that Danny is not performing we bring in various musical artist.

The reason I have the time to write to you now is because i am currently in the middle of Harry Connick Jr performing onstage. It is nice cause I am basically here to make sure the system doesn't go down, and yet i find myself in the best seat in the house enjoying Harry and listening to his sillyness. Seems to be a nice guy, very on point and always about business. So along with sitting closer to the stage then Harry's security guard.

In the house tonight is Donald Trump, Steve Wynn and wife, Siegfried and Roy, and various other Vegas entertainers. The dogs came in around 4 pm to sniff out the place and make sure no bombs were on site.

One of Harry's jokes to the audiance.

Harry: Steve, can't i play in this theatre when Danny isn't on stage and then i will go serve sandwichs when i am done to make some extra cash. I mean, you have all these beautiful restaurants here, but you also need a little white trash place for a man to grab a sandwich. I already turned down Donald Trumps request to come serve white trash food in his casino, cause he is into that stuff. But you Steve, i would do it for you. What ever you want, just give me a job!!!!


So thats about all i got. I am awaiting to here back on some other future jobs, and i am crossing my fingers for a few in paticular. Just have to be patient

Reunited and It Feels so Good!!!

So this was the scene, when my friend Michelle and I flew back into Macau after our vacation in Thailand. We had to take a shuttle that was at 6pm... only to sit in the Hong Kong airport for 14 hours before our flight back to the States at 9am the next morning. So we were lucky to find some cushie seats and a lounge that gave us free internet.

They also had a popeyes, which tasted delicious after spending 3 months in Asia.. So tasty!

Chloride, Az

So Amelia and I are both fascinated with "Ghost Towns" of the west. We did a little research and found some around Vegas. Chloride, AZ is just that. It was one of the first major boom towns due to the silver found in the mines up in the hills from the little town. They had a couple decades of mining silver and then it ended before like 1900. So we did a little exploring of our own and ate in the old-fashioned restaurant in town.

The place was a little touristy, with its "old west" false-front town and weekend gun shooting competitions. The town is also very famous because of a western known artist that did alot of rock paintings up in the hillside.

Lake Mead and Grand Canyon

REALLLLY!

So living the domestic life has proven to be challenging, fun, exciting, busy, boring, and new to me all at the same time. Amelia and I are trying really hard to eat out as little as possible and cook fresh and healthy meals for ourselves. It works some of the time, other times we are so bored in our apartment we consider it a luxury to get out of the house and try a new restaurant around Vegas. And still sometimes Amelia and I just have difference of taste buds and decide to eat our own meal.

On one such occasion, Amelia decides she is going to have peanut butter sandwiches and bean soup. We'll, separately, i wouldn't mind either of these. But my lovely girlfriend has come up with her own way of eating them. She enjoys dipping the sandwich in the soup. Well, as much as i love her, i think this is disgusting. Oh well, to each there own. Love you baby!

Vegas or Bust

So this is the blog of my planning and trip out to Vegas. I spent almost 2 weeks, going through all of my belongings to determine what i would need and should go with me to Vegas. If you could have seen my mom's basement it was packed to the roof in about a 10ft by 10ft space of all the crap i have collected over the years. At least 20 rubbermade bins of crap from my mom's old house that she moved from in 2003, xmas gifts from the last 5 years, unopened boxes that i had shipped home from tour over the last 5 years, and lots of other shit.

Unfortunatly the Gumby slippers didn't make the cut.
It was a long 3 days traveling out to Vegas and some scary moments with my 12year old truck attempting to get over the mountains with the uhaul we were pulling. We were pretty excited to get to Colorado and stop at the visitor's center.
We stopped for the night an hour outside Denver.

The next day we traveled through the beautiful mountain roads winding through Colorado. Then we spent the afternoon an in Utah. Night 2 we stopped off about 6 hours from Vegas. On day 3 we spent another 3 hours in Utah, then 2 hours in Az, and finally about 2 hours in NV to arrive in Vegas.

It was a busy, wild trip but we had alot of fun and happy to arrive in our new apartment.

Game Night- Part 1

In all of our boredom around the apartment, one day Amelia and I decided to have game night with a little Jinga fun. THAT GIRL IS IN CRAZYTOWN!
