My first non-day in Vegas

[thehefner]

On the sickness front, I'm now 99% certain that my swallowing-glass-shards sore throat has not been caused by flu or strep, but rather Degree deodorant. The "Power" scent, specifically. I haven't reacted like that since I ran afoul of that Burt's Bees stand.

So tonight is dedicated to not doing anything interesting, but rather trying to finally get a good, full night's sleep in so I can be ready for a full day tomorrow.

I'm staying at a hotel about a mile away from the main strip, barely far enough away to make getting to said strip *just* enough of a pain in the ass. I tried driving down there to find parking and nearly had an epileptic seizure from the Luxor alone. Driving is Vegas is most assuredly not for the easily distracted.

Among tomorrow's plans, I'm seriously considering visiting a bar which--according to THE UNDERGROUND GUIDE TO LAS VEGAS, will earn me a "Tom Waits/Charles Bukowski Citation for Daring While in the Pursuit of Drunkenness." They furthermore warn, "For the adventurous only. Be afraid. Be very, very afraid."

Tomorrow may prove to be eventful indeed. Hell, I probably won't even have time to blow a hundred bucks on blackjack as originally planned!

Which bar is that? I need to get back to vegas to people watch.

One of the best evenings I had there a few years ago was when I went to the Shadow Bar (Cesar's I believe) and spent about 2 hours drinking and enjoying the view. I was hit upon by 2 females and 1 male.

It's called Atomic Liquors. And yeah, now that you mention it, people-watching might actually be a very good way to spend an hour or two. I think I'll swing by Caesar's or someplace after I hit up M&M's World.

Oh, and did you get the New York Fringe Hefner Monologues dates? It turns out my show in 3/7 is canceled, but I have a new one on 2/28, also at 10pm! I'll repost the full schedule in a couple weeks. I need to make a facebook invite and everything.

Sorry your not feeling great, hope you get better soon and good luck blackjack.

"I haven't reacted like that since I ran afoul of that Burt's Bees stand."

*Sniff* I remember it well.

I had the exact same cold, and when I got tested for strep (which of course it wasn't) the doctor said she had the same cold too.

Zombie strep?
