So I know I went on this trip a while ago, but I am slow. Here are the pictures from Vegas Pi! It was the trip after Vegas 3.0, Pi Day happened to be on a Saturday, so it became Vegas 3.14. "Basically a weekend of bad Dave jokes," Hubert predicted. 
After a slight delay in picking up the van from Mel, we were on our way. Dave and I went to get most of the crew at Travis', then a stop in Arcadia for Babak, then we made our way to Victorville for the last 2. 
Navi wore the chain specifically for this 
the crippled guy taking up the backseat with his "coke"  Devon.... singing? posing? taking a shot? 
the model  Of course, we had to stop for some refresing drinks. Babak took the classy 40-in-a-bottle route. Someone had to do it. 
and he was thirsty 
"I learned in med school.... whatever says, 'do not take with alcohol,' TAKE that shit with alcohol!" 
the dev dev 
Michael brought freshly-fried JALAPENO POPPERS and CHICKEN NUGGETS. Best van passenger ever!! And he drank a lot of Smirnoff. After much traffic, more bathroom stops, and a little parking difficulty, we finally made it to the Venetian! Thomas gambles so much that he gets free rooms, and offered us a Venetian suite. 
the high school homies, missing V :( 
getting ready to go out 
It's okay Hubert, I'm sure not everyone is that bored with you 
breathalyzer - always a hit at parties 
every time we tried to take a girly picture, one of the attention-whoring guys would get in the way 
so we just had to deal with it 
ha! got one! 
All the guys on the way to Lavo 
the bad dancing pics begin
Dave just needs some gold chains to complete the look, and higher-spiked hair maybe 
shirt buttons are good 
the Hubert face 
Don, the king of subtlety in admiring women 
me and Trav 
Travis doesn't look excited enough to be in this photo 
one of 3 people could be behind bent-over Jay, who is it? 
thanks Travis! 
ladies love cool Hubert 
Jay feelin nice 
If you're one of 4 girls in a group of about 15, you HAVE to dance whether you want to or not 
whoever had my camera really liked Jay 
I mean really 
he got them whiiiiiiiiiite girls 
who the f is the guy on the left and what is he doing to Don? 
Travis never cooperates with coordinated photos. 
more inexplicable randomness 
Kristin, Travis, and a fuzzy arm 
more happy people 
Devon's tongue ring is as much of a hit in clubs as Navi's money chain  We had all met Don that day, and most of the group had thought he was gay. He couldn't understand why. 
CSOs and the honorary one 
the good ol boys 
Babak looks shocked to see people getting down at the bar 
bad photography.... you can't blame me! 
more bad photos 
Thomas was fascinated by something 
and so was Navi? what was it? 
dave and trav 
Some random girls. I don't remember how we found them. 
everybody, everybody! Except for Susanne and Justin, who came the next day. And Ruben disappeared. 
but was replaced by a random blond girl on the right, apparently.  Jay talking shit 
the girls... and 2 random ones in the middle.... how do we make these "friends" so easily? 
half-posing 
they liked us enough to stick around for 3 photos 
just us 
WOULD have been a nice photograph.... 
a little better, but he scared Kristin and Navi 
confusion 
the boyz 
I wish my camera focused :( 
Don wondered the whole time why everyone thought he was gay 
After the photo shoot, we FINALLY left the Venetian. Thomas decided he wanted to take us all in a limo to Sapphire. 
hey, he paid! And I'd never been in a limo before, so it was exciting. 
I didn't take any in the strip club, like others did. But it was an interesting experience. I got molested by a stripper, my face pulled into boobs of someone else's stripper (and I'm a GIRL), Babak passed out and woke up to 2 Asian girls in his lap, the male room was NOT all that, a man who will not be named got a free lap dance from his girlfriend and a friend, but sent the stripper over to his girlfriend instead, a phone was stolen, etc. At least Thomas didn't blow a couple of Gs..... again. 
After Night 1, we all passed out at various times, me on the air mattress. As soon as we could wake up, we hit the Planet Hollywood Buffet (free food for Hubert, asparagus, "WOW" and "I'm not gay! I love P***") and one of my favorite places in the world. 
we found a group outside who gave Free Hugs! How could you turn that down? 
who said nothing's free? Apparently this was before Swine Flu season. 
I really liked Travis' shirt 
We came back to the room to find.... Don who had come back earlier, the $3 all-you-can-drink champagne at the buffet caught up to him. 
taking a break 
nap time for some 
especially for Dan. No one stuck it on his face intentionally, and he did not notice until after being fully engaged in a conversation after waking up. 
We got pretty again and went out for the night. Dave requested Farsi songs from this guy. 
it just makes everything better! 
what was he doing? 
Dave's new friend 
waiting at NY NY 
the "newlyweds?" 
no one will ever know 
still waiting.... 
waiting and checking phones to look occupied 
finally inside Nine Fine Irishmen..... Irish Car Bombs were mandatory 
ahhh, college/Brewco memories 
the pristine beer that Mike found 
the kids who joined us that day, Jay, and Don 
the ladies 
pay attention Navi! 
Travis tried, but wasn't too popular with them 
the last remaining Wife Draft women 
hangin with the teachers 
uhhhh.... 
NYC reunion if Mike and I joined 
oooooookay 
hehe..... 
who the hell was the photographer? 
I don't remember why we took this, either 
catchin up with Mikey 
another inexplicable photo of Dave 
I must have said something good 
the first didn't look angry enough 
and Dave didn't get enough of himself in the last pic 
still gossipping 
we made our way out into the cold 
the windy bridge 
I gathered all my girlie cards all day and wanted to make it rain 
my vision was people on the sidewalk/street below to be surprised by a shower of boobs 
it "kinda" worked? 
waiting for Hooters.... Dave's winnings 
back at the room 
stalling the long, ardous cleaning process 
Thomas would threaten to violently murder us if we opened the shades 
I thought it was a pretty good bar 
don't do it! 
each person's "pile"  hungover and no vitamin B12 :( 
we had a junk food festival on the way home. This is just what Dave and I had in the back seat. But from the front, you could request popcorn, Funyuns, Krispy Kremes, and much more. After hours of traffic, driver switching, telling high school stories and planning a trashy mexican party, we finally made it back. I'm already looking forward to the next one! |
