vegas baby, vegas

After Denver we had probably the worst drive of the whole tour. It was 14 hours from Denver to Vegas and we spent what seems like days going through Utah's desert. If I never do that again, I'll be happy. We had to drive slowly up hilll with the heat on to blow out the air and not let the van overheat. However, the reward for this was making our way into Vegas. After we got into the hotel and showered up, we hit the bars and casinos for a few hours. I can't wait to go back and see more of Las Vegas. The next morning we got in the van and headed for LA. Chris and I sampled the food at In n' Out Burger and it was good. We were very interested in sampling local fast food along the way and this was one of my favourites.
LA was cool. The show was great, but too short. Sold lots of merch and blew some faces off. Caught up with Chicago friends and furniture provider Scott and his wife Brandy and everybody got all sorts of drunk. Chris got sent home, Cory wandered off and made it home okay, Jeremy and I developed drunken He-Man strength loading the van and John kept it all in check. We stayed in Hollywood in a suite at the top of a hill with a magician club at the bottom. We saw Henry Winkler showing up to a red carpet event and we all made some awesome food for dinner. Unfortunately, the van couldn't handle another trip in the heat so soon so we had to cancel Tijuana. Maybe next time. A day off was really necessary anyway. I definitely want to visit again and be a tourist and see more of LA.
