Doubling up in Vegas

often when i go to write
these blogs
i have stories i want to share
then finally get a chance to write
i forget the stories

two days ago
i had a story about how
one stereotype seemed true
while at ventura beach
i overheard three conversations

waiting to cross a light
a dude was on the phone
sweet talking a guy to be his record producer

at lunch
these dorky people at the next table
discussed their screenplay of their movie
and how could they get the old lady playing the old lady
to allow them to have the guy playing her husband grope her

then on the pier two joggers
one says you have to audition
well says the other i need to read the treatment
to see if i am right for it

then yesterday my bartender said acting paid her bills

my concert wasnt til 930
so i killed time watching baseball
when it was 1-0 yankees i said to this guy
i hope the yanks go up 6-0 and the red sox lead all game
then the rays comeback and the sox blow it

i didnt get to relish my moment
i saw the hr to tie the game with two outs
but i had to leave for my concert
while the red sox were still in a rain delay

joe purdy is my favorite singer
the club was the size of the richland
i sat 18 dead center from the front of the stage
he was directly in front of me

either his dad or older brother sat to my left
i often wondered why he isnt a bigger star
they played his songs on lost and greys
they have been in national commericals
how come no one knows who he is

well he shed some light on that
he doesnt really care

it was awesome
but he kept forgetting the words to some of his songs
the dad/bro made the sign to his friends it was because of weed
well that and alcohol

it was charming during the show
he is so awesome you didnt care
only after did i resent it a little
but hey thats rock and roll right

drove most the night to get to vegas
slept maybe two hours
right when i got there and fell asleep
did liz my broinlaw and rochelle all pick that 15 min to text
it was kind of funny

picked my dad up at the airport
mr moneybags
bought two 36 dollar all you can ate all day buffets for us
and 14 a piece rollercoaster rides
tomorrow we are dropping 71 a piece to walk over the grand canyon

i got a room at excaliber
the pool was nice
and i saw lots of indians fans and one browns fan here

watched the bartman doc on espn
bill buckner made me cry

tried to map out possible routes to cleveland
man am i still far away from home
well guess i should be after 21 days on the road

decided to skip arches and utah
going to head to the petrified forest in arizona instead
want to go to carlsbad caverns but doubt we will
it is a major out of the way
think the route will be abq/santa fe to rocky mountains
then a coin flip of 70 80 or 90
i dont really have any desire to enter texas

i think it is going to be a lot harder
for two people in a small car to drive so far
and try to sleep in it
plus you can get away with being a pig when you are alone

want to get back in less than week
rather than two

plus i need to figure out how to quickly get
a passport card
so i can go to canada in late oct/early nov
cant really do that until i get home
