OK...I will try AGAIN.

Anyway, we had the most awesome trip. First we went to LA, and the weather was just divine. Around 75 degrees F. We stuffed in as much as we could, going along the Sunset Strip, the Kodak Theatre, Frederick's of Hollywood (to see lingerie exhibit), Hollywood Blvd, Mulholland drive and the Hollywood Hills, a tour of the WB studios, Venice Beach, Santa Monica pier, Manhattan Beach, the La Brea tar pits, Rodeo Drive, and of course, we met up with BAW and BAH at the aquarium! It's so nice finding friends in the middle of a place you've never been before. :cute: Thanks for posting those pics Char, I will email you my own copies. My only regret is we did not get to go to San Diego...largely because we spent about 60% of our time in traffic!

But of course, what I was REALLY looking forward to was Vegas! First of all, that HOTEL! Our hotel room was fine, but I would have LOOOOVED to stay in that Mariott. It was gorgeous. For the "opening night gala" Guaca (the artist formerly known as Whacka) and I decided to dress up:

It was so exciting getting to meet all these interferencers, some of whom I had met before, others for the first time. I was also nervous on behalf of the band and their big debut....and I had made such a fuss about them, I hoped everyone would love them as much as I do.

I also got the pleasure of a dance lesson from Daafish and Sicy (thanks again you guys)! We found ourselves a quiet corner near the ballroom, and I got my first Salsa lesson. It was soooo much fun! Then I got to watch a live demonstration. Those two are really excellent together, they should compete! :cute:

I think the band made an admirable debut on Saturday night, despite Brady's cold, Kevin's guitar string breaking, and their getting kicked off stage early. Brady premiered his new vinyl suit! Very nice. I really wish the Saturday crowd had been there for Sunday and Monday though, they really pulled out all the stops, really feeding off the crowd's energy.

Sunday, Abel, Whacka, Icelle, Mr. Edge and I went to the Hoover Dam, and Monday, BAW, Icelle, Abel, Mr. Edge and I went up the stratosphere tower and took some great shots of Vegas.

Monday night, for the Joshua Tree set, I finally got Miss Velvet and BAW to come up to the front! EVEN ABEL came up to the front for a little while! I was blown away! :laugh:

Actually the crowd on Monday night was crazy!! Singing, shouting, jumping up and down....we were actually pressed up against the edge of the stage like at a real U2 show! People kept jumping on stage (including diamond, who did his "standing on stage w. Bono pose"), and a number of girls got their paws on our Brady! "yeah baby, yeah!" :sexywink: (sorry spinny! hehehe)

OK, here are some of my better pictures, in order from Saturday through Monday. I will put them up in small groups, and hopefully they won't all get deleted again. I think we all know who everyone is by now, so I'll just post them!

Thanks, Sicy! You guys make a great couple and you are very lucky to have a man that dances so elegantly and proficiently! :up:

Velvet, you do NOT look like an overstuffed pig! Good grief!! But I'm glad you liked the pic! :)

the world according to Diamond

hey everyone,

I havent had time to transfer my pics yet but I will and will post when I have the time to do so but in the meantime I've decided to post a little ditty for your reading pleasure...

you see Sunday....a little known Interferencer named Diamond came to Vegas...he had asked if he could bunk with me...I am nice and cant say no to anyone so I said alright..now I shoot myself in the foot for that but that's another story...

Diamond asks if there is room for one more - that would be Jesse..now I have no problems with Jesse, being the gentleman that he is..but Diamond...now that's where the story starts.

Sunday we leave the Marriott all the while trying to coax Diamond along through the lot of slots in the lobby...we ponder leaving him behind...but he eventually takes note and follows....his car is valet parked..Eebz and her sister are nice enough to drive he and Jesse back to the hotel..while Mr. Edge, Mrs. Edge, Icelle, Abel and myself head back in my rental car....

Im thinking maybe they'll dump Dave out of the car on the way...*insert recollections of Diamonds trip to Toronto when I almost did the same*

Im thinking maybe he'll get lost on the way to the room...

In bed I go...all of a sudden I hear stammering outside the door..what the hell???the door opens..I see clothes strewn outside the door..and Jesse and Diamond hanker into the room dragging suitcases belts and various pieces of clothing onto the floor..
Diamond proceeds to disrobe, comment on how drunk he is, drag the bedspread onto the floor, tell Jesse that he gets the bed, and promptly passes out on the floor...Jesse retreats to the bed....lights out...

*knock on the door* now what the hell...oh its Abel, Eebz and her sister wondering if everything was OK, and asking Jesse if he was hungry for pizza...Jesse decides to retreat to ladies room for food and off he goes....finally quiet..well with exception of Diamond snoring underneath the damn blanket...

should have pelted him with silly string while I had the chance not to mention the pictures I could have taken and sold on ebay.

Anyhow...Im thinking maybe I can sleep now..and off I go...clunk, bang, what the hell now???that's Diamond trying to find his way to the bathroom..why the hell is he hanging things on hangers...he finds the bathroom, turns the light on but doesnt use the facility...crawls back to the floor..moments pass..all of a sudden I hear what sounds like a grizzly bear looking for food..heavy breathing...this wsa getting scary byt this time.....two hands start feeling for something...what Im not sure...then all of sudden..two hands feel the foot of the bed...find my foot and start tugging on it...ok now Im starting to get freaked out..Diamond is drunk..feeling my foot....hanging things up...what the heck is he looking for anyway..then with a swift move..onto the bed he gets..

*insert angry spit smiley and then some* what the feck is going on....to which Diamond replies...it's Dave...Im going to bed..goodnight...to which I reply Dave you are an ass*&^%

I was not impressed...with the actions of a drunken Diamond..

morning finally comes..and Im pissed..hmm what to do what to do...hmmmm...alrighty then...and I turned every light on I could find...OHHHHH!!! Damn my head hurts!! Diamond swiftly says....Good.....anymore lights I can turn on for ya.....Damn Diamond.

Now to ask Diamond what happened..and he wont be able to tell you because he doesnt remember...but Dave...I remember...and you are so lucky that my camera was not on hand to record the blessed event because your ass would be all over EBAY...

OK I feel much better now....OHMMMMMM OHMMMMMM...life is Zen.

Other than that...I had a very nice time with everyone...and ABEL next time the duel will happen.....:)

* oh so sorry but I forgot to tell you what Diamond was wearing for his evening attire*

Diamond..where exactly do you shop for your clothes..certainly not anywhere but Walmart...because those underwear that you were wearing were thinner than sheer curtains...and certainly didn't compliment your shall we say smooth physique....next time..just keep your pants on...:mad: :mad: :mad: ....please excuse my tone for I can not be held responsible for my fits of anger due to Diamond drunkeness....now good day...
