Vegas, Baby, Vegas All Star Weekend

Share


It's been too long since we've donated in Vegas.  That needs to change.  As you may have noticed over the past week or so, we're going to Vegas for the NBA All Star game.  We're heading out Thursday night with our camera, laptop, and trusty side kick "Fun" Mike.  We'll see what happens in Vegas and whether it stays in Vegas.

We haven't ironed out all of the details, but we'll likely be at the big game on Sunday night and the dunk contest, 3 point shoot out, and skills challenge on Saturday night.  Perhaps a running tally of my gambling totals is in order.

I've also hooked up my cell phone to send pictures directly to The 700 Level, so if I have any run ins with Allen Iverson, or, say, a stripper named Mariah, you may find a picture on here at all hours of the night.  Check back over the weekend.  Our best work usually happens when we least expect it, so I don't want to get your hopes up.  I'll see what kind of balls I can come up with.  Regardless, it's Vegas.

Also, Skeets, Mutoni, Shoals, and all the other NBA Fanhouse peeps have been all over the All Star Game in Vegas.  I'd go there for more as well.

10 Things I'm going to try and do in Vegas during All Star Weekend

10.) Do my best to make Mike the mouth shut his yapper.

9.) Hang out with Sixers dance team member Kimmie who was voted to the first ever All Star Dance Team.  She's even keeping a blog about her experience.  So I plan to meet up with Kimmie and we can blog the shit out of each other.

8.) Take a magic carpet ride over Vegas with 5 other dudes.

7.)Try not to be a sucker.

6.) Attempt to race Sir Charles Barkley in a contest of pure binge drinking.  And if that doesn't work, try to track down him and Jordan
and ask them who bottoms.  Worst case scenerio I watch them lose the
equivalent of a year of my salary in one hand of blackjack.

5.) Hang out with a real celebrity.  The best I've done in Vegas is
Albert Belle or the cook from Under Seige 2, Morris Chestnut.  And Paris Hilton doesn't count for sure.  Who goes to Vegas and doesn't see Paris?  Also avoid getting in any trouble with the law.

4.) I'm gonna be the big winner.

3.) Forget Pure and Tao, I'm spending my evenings at the hot hotel lobby bars with these ladies.  I truly love hotel lobby bar bands.  The best bang for your buck in Vegas -- the kind of talent you can only find in Vegas.

2.)  Okay, so when my attempts at trying to get into Eva and Tony's party fail, I'll end up back at the lobby bar hitting on a chick who left Asheville for the first time in her life.  Drunk-spacing.  Totally.

1.) Hit the fucking jackpot.
