Sometimes, I wonder why I’m such a fucking asshat. Why I think it’s a perfectly great idea to book flights at absurd times. Flights that leave at 6am are NOT OKAY, especially for an insomniac, because a 6am flight means getting up at 4am, and 4am is basically my BED TIME. Flights that get in after midnight are also not okay. And yet that’s how I got to and from Denver this weekend. See? Asshat.
But! On a less rant-ey note, DENVER-WAS-AMAZING-AND-OH-MY-FUCK-SO-MUCH-FUN.
There was white wine and shopping and hysterical laughter and red wine and movies and cheese plates and beer and video blogging and music and tequila and thunderous rain storms that had me convinced that we’d be those people on the news who get stuck on top of their cars on a flooding freeway.
In addition to the flooding, there was also the night that Mr.5280 and I tried to convince Chelsea to enter an amateur strip competition. We made some solid arguments:
“You’re so bendy!”
“We promise we won’t blog about it!”
“We’ll consider paying you $100!!”
But in the end she didn’t do it. Her reason? “But guys, my underwear isn’t cute enough!” Naturally, because I’m such a lovely friend, I offered to switch underwear with her in the bathroom. Turns out my underwear wasn’t cute enough either. So instead, we both stayed in our seats, fully clothed, watching the two-man bachelor party going on next to us and discussing the pressing need to purchase sexier undergarments.
The best part of it all is that we didn’t just go to the strip club- we closed down the damn strip club and pretty much had to be asked to leave. Which on one hand makes me sound like both a whore and an alcoholic, and on the other hand makes me think that I should probably bring a video camera with me to the Bloggers in Sin City Meet-Up in Las Vegas next weekend.
Speaking of: I’ve decided that I’m going to do one super ridiculous thing in Vegas. And I’m taking votes on what that thing should be. You can suggest as many ridiculous things as you want, up until I leave on the morning of June 5, and the suggestion I pick will earn an equally ridiculous prize.
Keep in mind that last time I went to Vegas, Chelsea received a penis shaped ice tray in the mail for absolutely no reason.
Yeah, it’s that kind of thing. Now go get your suggesting on.

Gah! I want to come to Vegas SO BAD!
We all need to hang out like whoa. Damn.
Love you both.
How jealous are you trying to make me?! lol. Sounds like an awesome time!
I'm not sure "cute" underwear is necessary for amateur strip hours.
(Was the video over at Chelsea's the only one going to be shared with Blogerton?)
I can promise you more videos after the Vegas shenanigans, that's for sure.
omg, you're insane. haha. i'm not suggesting anything ridiculous for you to do while we're in vegas, instead… i'm going to volunteer to document it for the masses.
NINE DAYS. (single digits. wooo!)
I'd like to take credit for the tequila.
You can also take credit for Chelsea's epic hangover.
Ha! I guess tattoos are out since you already have those bases covered with Doni? =)
I actually do want another one (or two!), but alas, they aren't free…
I'm glad you had such a good time! Sorry I didn't get to meet you while you were here.
Oh my gosh that's right!! NEXT TIME!
First of all, I want to say that I looked up flights to Vegas today and they aren't cheap. I guess I shouldn't be surprised since I waited so long to consider coming. DOUBLE DOH. Also, I think playing go fish with the sexy lady cards they hand out on the street is a must.
oh man, i hope i get to see whatever ridiculous thing it is in person…this is going to be good
I fully support all kinds of ridiculousness in Vegas, and I also like Rachel's point that we are in SINGLE DIGITS for the countdown!
Well, some of us had already discussed having a photo session with the Chippendales. You could make that a reality!
Um. YES PLEASE!
sounds like you guys had a BLAST! and have so much fun in vegas! wish i could join!
Go on one of the rides at the Stratosphere in a costume!
Not too crazy, but it's something.
If you're not up for one 24 hour stretch in Vegas then you have failed.
wait, can i get the ice cube tray this time? lol
If you suggest something awesome
Go Skydiving!!!
Dude how did I not hear about this Vegas thing till RIGHT FUCKING NOW!! I checked flights.. yeah not going to work for this weekend… How did I miss this?
Yeah we had the best time ever and i sound ridiculously awesome. lol?
Fact: If you complain about not having cute enough underwear pre-amateur strip contest the strippers will loan you a clean pair. Strippers are nice.
Why do you know everything?? I should clearly come to you with all my random, inappropriate questions.
I like the skydiving idea, but you should do it naked. That'd be interesting and along the same lines as what you wanted Chelsea to do… Sort of.
yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay Vegas! i cannot wait!
More videos! Well, that's not really 'crazy' but I need more Nicole videos. Wow, that sounds creepy but if I'm not going to be in Vegas, I want enough videos of the trip to make me think I AM there. Or at least, mend my broken heart at the idea of not going. So yes, videos. Matt has already told me he's super amped at the idea of vlogging. Giddy up!
(Why did I say 'giddy up'? I do not know. But have you told you lately that I think you are the best? I do. And I need to talk to you soon, your email sprouted a whole set of questions!)
Giddy up back at ya lady. And yes, talk time ASAP!!
I always found the most interesting thing about Vegas was the small children handing out hooker (excuse me, escort) trading cards.
Well, they're really calling cards, but they're like baseball cards for whores. We have a collection. I vote to see how many you can collect.
I would suggest trying to rob a casino but that might be out of your scope of crazy, eh?
There's an award waiting for you at my blog
Umm, awesome.
And doesn't everyone need a penis shaped ice tray? Maybe?
nice! i’m gonna make my own journal
well.. it’s like I said!
emm. really like it
