26. Tell the story about your personal body guards in Budapest in 2005?
27. Why did you have body guards?
These 2 kinda go together and its maybe the best story of my life so here goes...About 6 months before the Amsterdam show 2005 2 of my best friends(non-industry) and I went to Budapest for a week of fun and mixed mayhem...while there my boy Gavin fell in love with a truly wonderful and beautiful girl (now his wife) ...so after the Amsterdam show Gerard, Poppy, XXXJAY and myself decided to meet my buddy Gavin in Budapest...I had been hooking up with gavin's girls sister and she had hot friends so the situation seemed fruitful..The first night there -we went to this place we always go called BED BEACH.....on a scale of 1 to 10 the girls at the club go to like a 14 lol...So we are chilling at our table and the guys next to us start to hassle my buddy Gavin and his girl...apparently- one of the guys had always liked her and wasnt pleased she was hanging out with drunk obnoxious americans (gerard and poppy)
(who got in a fight with each-other and poppy ripped gerrards shirt right off his body and was thrown out...but that another story) anyways....these guys were mafia types and we didnt really want any trouble there the next nite....so we started joking about hiring bodyguards fo and asked Francesca (Gavins girl) what it would cost...she said she would look into it... so I told her hell- check into a Limo also....Now Francesca is a local attorney and a very connected girl ....so she calls up and tells this security company that "Johnny Vegas "(me) who is Steve Wynn's (owner of the WYNN hotel and casino's )step son is in town and is a high priority security client. She goes on to tell them that there was a kidnap threat made against me and I needed top notch protection...She also booked what at the time was the only 2005 lincoln stretch - limo in Hungary....So the limo picks us up and takes us to this golf hotel resort that was recently built on the outskirts of Budapest...The developer is waiting there to meet me and gives XXXJAY the girls and all of us a private tour and insists we dine in his private dining room..All the while I am playing son of Las Vegas Casino mogul...Its getting late and we decide to head for the club...as we reach the Limo 4 cars pull in....8 guys get out...I mean serious no bullshit motherfuckers...The head bodyguard greets me and breaks it down for us as to how things were gonna work...as I am looking around I realize that these guys are all packing!! Jay and I are like holy fuck!! So we get in the Limo and a caravan forms....2 cars in front 2 behind- and we take off hauling ass to the club....this was some serious shit...we get to the club where apparently they had warned the clubs internal security of our arrival...the first 4 went in and secured our table...It was up top and in a very safe position..then the next 4 took me in -one in front one behind and one on either side, while everyone else followed...I was trying not to laugh..this was fuckin crazy..I mean they were just knocking people out of the way and everyone was looking trying to figure out who the fuck I was....so we get up there and I see Poppy and Gerard trying to get up to meet us...
..I told my security they were okay and they were frisked and escorted to my table....IT WAS A FUCKING BLAST....everyone hooked up...we felt pretty much invincible...I couldnt even go to the bathroom alone...4 guys would take me -2 would clear the bathroom and 2 would stand outside...I mean- they literally chucked people out of the bathroom...It was crazy....The guys from AWE even showed up at the end and were laughing their asses off..
It will be tough to ever match that night...There will be many more great stories but none like that! The kicker is all that only cost $1500.00 ....good times
