I just wanted to make a quick list of some of the people I met in Vegas (and that didn't exactly become a quick list). Some I had the opportunity to spend time with, some I wish I had more time with. As always folks will be left out... I am sorry.
bdjuf - what can I say man. It was a pleasure and an honor and a total blast to spend time with you. From New years to the show, I had a great time. We now have lots of stories and pictures to remember.
richard - you're a very cool guy. I enjoyed our conversation on the drive back (me falling asleep every 10 seconds)
maxdaname - Good times buddy. You're one weird little man, but it made the downtimes of the show really interesting.
Persius - ! What can I say. You're all class every which way about you. I think we need to pursue the ceasar salad business we talked about. Do you even remember what we talked about on the drive back? I sure as shit don't.
Juicy and MrIzzz - You guys are great. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. I need to see those pics of bdjuf getting picked up by those dudes. OMFG sooo funny.
MARINA - Wow girl you're damn cute. Aren't you glad I am such a nice guy? You can pay me back by letting me take you out to dinner ;)
Cory @ Epiccash - I pictured you a lot different. You turned out to be just as nice and cool though. I should drive up to Norcal one weekend and we should get together and have a pizza/redbull weekend marathon.
Fabian- Thank you for the presentation and the chat. XTV is going to be THE big thing in 2005 in adult and I can't wait to get in on the ground floor.
Sheri and Shann - Looking beutiful as always. Our short but sweet hellos were enough to make me warm and cozy the rest of my stay in vegas.
Pete - I had a blast. I'm glad we spent that time together. Just goes to show sometimes "newbies" are more elite than the "elite." By the way next show I am TAPING my shirt closed. I swear to god I had like 3 more people ask me to take my shirt off after we parted ways. Totally unnessicary!
Darren/Andy/Scott - Cheers you guys. Thank you for the Playersball suite passes. The show was absolutely fantastic. Good music, good people and an all around kickass time. We had good brief chats as well. Darren it's too damn bad we are always on opposite sides of the field from each other, you're an awesome guy. (and you hug like a pro)
Ashley - My dear girl. Please tell me where you saw me make this face:
http://instagiber.net/smiliesdotcom/cwm/cwm/eek5.gif. I enjoyed our brief chats. It's too bad you're so popular and we couldn't sneak aside for some quiet time. Regardless it was great seeing you in person. By the way, your friend was uber cute. Tell her when she's done fantasizing about an ex boyband member to give me a call. :)
Abyss crew - Just another group of guys that give Armenians a good name. Steve, Dave, Allen... I look forward to working with you in the future.
Davie and Sherm- Davie I enjoyed meeting you and our chat. You're at the top of my books dude. Anything anytime. Sherm, though our meeting was brief I'm just glad you didn't barf on me.
Keith @ IwantU- Was an absolute pleasure meeting you and your girl. Been waiting for that for awhile now. Good call on the AEBN party, it was lowkey and could actually hear people talking.
Scooter - !! I missed you baby. We didn't get our party on this time around either. But that's okay because I probably would have taken advantage of you in a drunken state.
Zoe- My gosh what can I say. To finally meet you was awesome, but I was disappointed that you didn't want to cuddle on the couch. I was very vulnerable and you could have moved right in. next time feel free to just jet right on over and throw that arm around me.
Arika and Newbreed - I love you guys. Had fun hanging out with you. You're both laid back cool cats and that's just awesome. Not much more I can say other than that.
Makingcoin/Ripraster/Shortbread - Good catching you guys. We have a story to tell now when people say "hey did you hear about that thing at playersball 2005?". Shortbread... I felt that ass grab when we were cuddling. I am not saying it is a bad thing, just good thing Coin didn't catch that. Rip.. GREAT talking to you. That was the most chilled conversation I had all week.
Andrew@AAC - Excellent speaking with you. We will do what we talked about starting monday.
Platinum Rinaldo - You are totally insane man. I became a changed man when I saw you doing the "horsie" on the showfloor.
SPAcash Gianna - Beautiful and intelligent. What I feel could be love. I am not sure yet. ;) Look forward to working with you very soon.
baddog - What would a show be without a little bit of tension. Glad to see everything worked out fine.
pimpinpays crew - Another fine example of upstanding Ozzies. Please keep in touch, we definately get along. :)
PrivateIvy - Stewie? lol. You're gorgous girl, stunning without any doubt about it.
DH - why did you insist on snuggling with me every time I saw you? I hope Cheetahs fixed your obvious need for some homoerotic hugging.
Cameron- Thanks for the chat... you're so right too. You live and you learn though.
Additional peeps I had the pleasure of meeting however ever so briefly:
Richard/Bangwang, Marty, Media, AJ, Ross/Nylz (you guys are too great for words), Magnus, Tim/Brett, Kevin/Trixxxia (Topbucks), Tina, webgurl, punker barbie, Bradshaw, RRRED, A1R3K, Lensman (cheers for the warmup party man, was great) Steve Lightspeed
I am sure I forgot like half of the people I met. There were just SO DAMN MANY of you! This year was totally off the hook. I had a total blast all around, and got more biz done in 4 days than in months combined. Now let's hope 50% of them pan out, and Brad is going to be a happy camper.
VIVE INTERNEXT 2005!
