Vegas trip stuff, final entry.
Spent most of yesterday down around the Venetian, picking up a few items at Fashion Show Mall I'd forgotten to the previous time. Being able to wander around was quite nice (thank you Extra Strength Excedrin!), even if there weren't really any stores I wanted to hit aside from the Apple Store.
Jeff, the guy working there who helped me find the plug I needed, was pretty cool; I forget how, but at one point while we were talking computer stuff the conversation slipped to Crono Trigger, and suddenly we were testing each other's knowledge of the game to see who could remember the most obscure crap about the game.I ultimately won once I gave him detailed directions on picking up the most useless Triple Tech in the game, right down to the mook. (GEEKPWNED.)
After that, it was off to my last show for this trip: Blue Man Group. I would say it was just as excellent as the last 2 times I've gone, but for some reason, one particular act that I'm fond of, involving manipulating the band/audience/stage with a pair of light-wands (the kind they use to guide airplanes...one of which ends up rolling in from the side of the stage!), wasn't done this year. :[ Rest of the show kicked all sorts of ass, though, so it's all good. Plus, now I've got a shirt to go with the jacket I bought 2 years ago (still say that's the best $75 I've ever spent!), so WOO!
Once I got back to the hotel, it was time to get packed and get ready for my eventual trip to the airport this morning...got everything ready to go at a moment's notice and set the alarm for 6:30 so that I could make the airport by 7 so as to, hopefully, make it through check-in and security before my 9 AM flight.
Long story short: Woke up at 5:40 for some reason (never could sleep more than 5 hours here), decided to roll with it, and was through security, had a Cinnabon, and got to my gate before my alarm would have even gone off.
....Or rather, did go off. Now that I think about it, I forgot to shut it off.
Whoops. O_o;;
Well, in any case, Vegas was fun and all, but I think I'm ready to go home.
