So I'm in Vegas, baby! I'm down $120, but that's what I get for starting at the $10 blackjack tables. Tomorrow I'll play the $5 tables and at least that should keep me playing a bit longer. It didn't help that we had a really great dealer named Howdy to start but when he went on his break, we ended up with this bitch with bad karma that killed the small winning streak I had going. Oh well, better luck tomorrow... The trip from LA was fun. The weather was great and I rode with the top down the whole way. Somewhere just outside of Barstow, this shiny blue Porsche went screaming past me and when I looked at the driver, I was like, "Dude, that looked like Kevin Spacey!" The Porsche pulled over in front of me and the license plate read "SpacBoy." I had a helluv a time keeping up with him, but did a fair enough job. We barreled through the desert at about 90 mph and played car tag for an hour or so. At one point we got stuck in a constuction jam and he was trapped behind me. It was totally Kevin. So at least I had some amusement on the trip. He lost me eventually, but we picked each other back up just outside of Vegas. He got off to go to the Mandalay Bay and I headed over to the MGM. There's some stuff going on over at Mandalay that I want to check out so that's on the agenda for tomorrow. I think I'll stalk Kevin while I'm there ;)
