pinkbubbles and I want to stir things up...
Who wants to come meet us in Vegas this winter?

What weekend (it has to be a weekend for me) works for you?

I'm free any weekend except xmas and new years. I'll have a house guest that week.

Las Vegas is a good link to the Grand Canyon.

We flew into and out of there Xmas of '02.

There is a Trader Joe's and an outfitter for food/fuel.

That town is a real freak show.

We spent a total of four nights there and I didn't gamble a nickel but it's fun to have a drink and watch the freak show.

S. FL is a freak show, body art and piercing is like some kinda competitive sport.

I'm unadorned and in the minority.

If there is a trader joe's i'll be there.
LOL, na, not really.

I would love to go to Vegas, but thinking if I am already making it all the way to the west coast I sure as heII would want to get some backpacking into my schedule.

But... since we have a mutual friend that speaks well of you, you could always stay at my place.

edit: er... you said west, I assumed coast. Vegas isn't wet. LOL

I'd love to go-- want to go back to the Grand Canyon, but I don't think I can swing a long vacation during the winter because it's the high season for my job...

A weekender might be fun! The last time Think & I were in Vegas we spent 5 days in the Grand Canyon and less than 24 hours in Vegas itself...

This time Vegas would be our destination... :-)

Freak Show
I saw a one-legged woman in and around the parking garage several times during our stay at Circus Circus.

She was very attractive in a black leather mini skirt and leather jacket........with a crutch.

I'd say whe was about 5' 2" and 110 pounds........well, with both legs.

THe skirt covered the stump....quite short.

She was with a dude who could have been a pimp.

There were families with gaggles of kids workin' the arcade at midnight with HUGE stuffed alien dolls.

so what do you guys think?
Pick a weekend and a hotel and all meet up there? Like in the lobby or something?

Not me, thanks. If I was gonna go to Vegas, I'd go to the Big Smoke with my brother and a couple of his friends. It's a good idea though.

Unless it makes the national news!

Vegas was my jumping off point to Zion, Bryce and the rest of my S. Utah trip!

A cigar convention held every year in Vegas.

Pierceing Point System
Its probably very informal, hell some of them may have special meanings that I'm not aware of.

Its all the ink though that really gets me - are these folks really gonna like having flames going up their arms when they're 70? oh, wait - most of them won't make it to 70 so maybe it doesn't matter after all.....

Big Smoke--sounds fun, but not good for someone with asthma!

in 2001, Think & I were on the Travel Channel--our friends got married on a show called "2 for vegas"....

But the night has to be spent in Vegas! :)

No... Burning man used to be cool, but now it's just contrite and expensive.

Oh! ok. You can get it annulled afterwards just like Britney if you want.

Alabama is too far for me to go for just a weekend, and it is prolly cheaper to fly to Vegas (not just for me)
