Viva Las Vegas!
Tuesday, November 13th, 2007
Just got back from Las Vegas and you know how it goes - what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. I am, however, willing to reveal some info on one of the crazy characters I met in Sin City.
I attended the ZZ Top concert at the Las Vegas Hilton on Sunday night and I must say, they’ve still got it - that fuzzy, grinding sound, the fuzzy beards and of course, the fuzzy guitars. But even more fun than the show was the people watching. Lots of bikers and 80’s hair and a guy named Michael who bought me a cosmopolitan, even though I was with someone and my glass was full. Michael proceeded to tell me how he promised his mother on her deathbed that he would get an Elvis tattoo in her honour because Elvis dyed his hair jet black “just like his mama’s”. Michael punctuated every mention of “mama” with a kiss on my cheek. Hopefully it’s because I look like his mama - a much younger version - and not because he was sporting major beer goggles! Oh, and just in case my mama is reading this, no, I didn’t drink the cosmo.
We’re having a Jack Nation points blowout today. Samantha has the codes from her shift posted on her blog. Here are the ones from the afternoon show. All codes are valid until midnight tonight (Tuesday, November 13th).
3 p.m. - online
4 p.m. - free
5 p.m. - coolcontests
Unlike Vegas, there’s no need to quit collecting Jack Nation points while you’re ahead. There’s no gamble at all, so don’t stop until you drop!
