*Carried* Away

Ok.....i am continuing from when i left off yesterday......Where was i?......oh yeah.....Chocolate Burger!! Like i said, it was really rich chocolate, but it was good!!! Anyway, next day--Friday--i had another day off, but Daniel called me that morning after their audition and wondered when we could get together and play. So we got together around noon and we went to the Fashion Mall on the Strip. It is a very big mall! It was fun to just walk around, talk and stuff. They were actually looking to switch phone companies, so i suggested Verizon, since that's what i have and i have liked them. So they decided to go with that! Yay!!! Now we can talk for free!! We had lunch there and just wandered around. Daniel and Ginger then decided to go back to the hotel for a little while and then we could meet up later, with Gamyr, and do something that night. So, we did and we had dinner at their hotel, the Flamingo. We went to the Seafood Buffet. It was actually really good!! They had other stuff besides seafood--which was good, cuz some seafood i don't care for!! :) So, after that we went to the Wynn, cuz Daniel said they have a pretty cool little water show there that we could go watch for free!!! So we walked down there and saw that a couple of times!! It was fun!! I got some pretty good pictures! Well, after that, we decided to call it a night. The next day--Saturday--i had to work at the Venetian from 9-6, but i ended up not having a 5 o'clock appointment, so i left early and called Daniel to see what their plans were. They said they were up for anything, so i just went to their room and when i walked in the door, they asked me how i felt about Liza Minnelli. I told them that i liked her voice, so they asked "how would you like to see her in concert?" I pretty much said that that would be awesome!! Daniel was looking on Craigs List while i was on my way and someone was selling their tickets that they had for her concert that night. So we decided to go!!!!! Daniel looked at his watch and said that we needed to hurry, cuz the show started at 8 and it was 7:20!!!! So we ran out of the hotel and called the guy with the tickets on the way to the theater. Now, the concert was in a little place call Primm, Nevada--which was about 20 minutes away. I was driving, cuz Daniel and Ginger didn't have a car. Well, on our way Daniel looked at the clock in my car and said "why does your car clock say it's 6:35?" I said, "Cuz that's the time!!" (duh!!) He said "Oh!!! We have plenty of time!!!" He didn't change his watch from Utah time!!!! Hahahahahahaha!!! Yay!! So, i slowed down a little. :) Well, by the time we were able to contact the guy with the tickets, he said that he wasn't going to be at the show to give us the tickets!!! He was hoping we could just pick them up from him in Vegas!!!! Oh just great!! We were already at the theater and we had no tickets!!! So, what do we do? We went to an ATM and took out $60. We found a piece of paper and wrote "Need 3 Tickets" on it and stood by the will call line!!!! We stood there for a while and eventually 3 different people came up to us and told us they each had 1 extra ticket to sell!!!! No way!!! It was so great! So, we told them that all the cash we had was $60---so $20 for each ticket. Now, these tickets were $75-$100!!!! But, it was close to the start of the show and it came down to if these people wanted to sell the tickets for $20 each or let the ticket go to waste.........So, they decided to take the money!!!! We got tickets!!!! And actually, one of the tickets was on the floor, about 5 rows from the front!!!!!!!!! They were all separate seats and Daniel and Ginger decided to give me the seat on the floor!! So, i was just sitting there--amazed at how close i was to the stage--and then Daniel and Ginger just came and stood by me and we talked a little bit till the show was going to start. Well, it got closer to the show starting and there were about 5 seats in front of me and 4 seats behind me that were empty.........so when the show started Daniel and Ginger just slid right into some seats in front of me! They were willing to move if anyone came to claim the seats..........but no one did!!!!! We stayed there the whole show!!! It was so great!!! Who knew we would get so lucky!!!! It was a great concert!! We could tell she was struggling a little bit, but she still sang as great as ever!!!! And she was even dancing around in some songs!!! She is amazing!! Anyway, that was my fun filled weekend with my friends!!!! I loved seeing them and being able to play with them a little!! It was so great to see familiar faces!! That makes 2 weekends in a row of seeing friends. I really needed that.

Well, now that your eyes are probably tired from staring at the computer so long cuz my stories are longer than a novel, i will bring this to a close. I am having a great time here in Vegas--especially since i have started at the Venetian!! I really like it there!! Thanks for all the support all of you are giving me!! It means the world to me! Love you all and please keep in touch!!

Till we meet again......
