With 2 rockstars in me, and a handful of energy pills, the system hit

The Soundtrack:
Paul Van Dyk
-The Politics of Dancing(2 discs)

Armin Van Buren
-A state of trance(2 discs)

Marcus Schulz
-Without you near

FischerSpooner
-Odessy
-#1

The tracks kept me so busy, my transformation from smog covered nest, to great wide expansiveness was unoticeable until it was right on top of me.

Making my way through the city was nothing new, i've been here a hundread times before, with a hundread differnt insane outcomes. My return was truely a battle.

None the less, i found close parking and got to the show.

All in all it was an awesome show, i got alot done, it was a blast.

BUT,

I have principal disagreements with vegas, in particular the low value of human life and obsession with gambling. I gambled enough money this weekend (business), and have never had the compulsion to ever pay anyone for sex.

So after being exposed to this for a couple days

i was more than ready to go.

So to the Car

But the night was far from over:

I hit long beach at 8pm on the DOT. Got home, unpacked, showered (Dirty Vegas?), and got changed. By 11 we were at the Sachi Lounge.
