The ole' cross-country move.

I will be moving to Las Vegas on December 1st. My brother moved out there last year and we're going to be roomies at "The Tower At Tropicana"- nice little place.

I've been having a lot of trouble shipping my 51inch rear-projection television, and will most likely have to leave it with momma.

Exciting!

are you going to be a showgirl?

If you consider yourself an addictive personaliity, you are certainly moving to the right place. Everything in excess, nothing in moderation, then roll another one.

Sex and Drugs and Rock and Roll.

And nickle slots for the adventurous.

Clark and I have too much in common, and only after one line of dialogue.

One of my fondest memories is of going to Vegas with these English guys who thought that room service leftovers were fair game. They were awesome, but I drew the line at adopting abandoned apple martinis...

We drive to Vegas many times each year, about a four hour drive through the high and low desert.

Of the three 'musicians' that I have encountered on the strip or downtown, only one was a thrill to meet, but he wasn't friendly. Tired. Still, what a thrill to meet and chat briefly with Bo Diddley. Why, without Bo, there would be no Elvin Bishop. And maybe the Allman Brothers Band.

Other two? Rick Springfield (is Jesse a boy or a girl?) and Vanilla Ice on a hot streak at Roulette. He had an entourage. An entourage.

People actually live in Las Vegas?

This would have been his "posse".

Good luck, whar. Don't gamble too much. Just have fun and enjoy the surroundings.

What are you going to do for a job, assuming you're not going to be a showgirl?

I've heard they have terrific donuts out Vegas way.

Oh yeah, donuts. I forgot all about the donuts.

Why don't we all guess what we think whar is going to be and he can tell us at a later date?

I think he's going to be the new Siegfried (or is it Roy)? Whichever, whatever.

Spoken like a true Canadian.

Vegas has incredible houses at jaw-dropping prices, and the neighborhoods are beautiful... with anything at your finger-tips twenty four hours a day.

Hence the move to Vegas? Feeling lucky?

Heh, sadly, football has killed me a bit since.
But, nothing seems quite as exciting as a Sunday at the Sportsbook (But as a 19 year old? Might not work.)

Well, at least some of the Indian casinos here in California allow 18 year olds....But it's probably a good thing you've got 2 years to build up a resistance.
