it wasn't an endless night at all, but hey talk about a title!
I'm sorry it has been a week, I would have posted on wed. but we were at a hotel that didn't provide free wifi. In fact the hotel we stayed at was none other than the Famous HOOTERS
hotel. Yes yes I know. Wasn't my choice, or anybodies really. And let's just say it was everything I would expect a hooters hotel to be. But whatever, I'm not going to lie, the rooms were kind of nice, and we up in the high rise able to look down onto the pool. I tell ya it was real cool coming into the city and being able to the strip from miles away.Oh and a quick word on the drive down, Oh My Gosh! Driving around the west has been absolutely breath taking at moments, at many moments. Traveling all thru colorado, and montana, some of wyoming, seeing the Rockies, has been some of the most beautiful scenery I've ever seen. It was such a shock to me that, it felt unreal, I kept saying how 
everything in the movies is true! I felt so naive, Cause it felt weird that this was all here, and I've never seen it before. The saddest thing about it all, is that I couldn't capture it. NO picture I took gave it justice. Especially when we drove from Utah to LAS V, we ended up driving thru this canyon like valley, surrounded by these beautiful rocky cliffs, and boulder mountains. It was amazing, and all of this makes me miss my best friends more and more, cause they are all 
outdoor guys.

I must say coming into Las V, was a pretty exciting feeling, looking at all the sites, buildings, and 
attractions. Again feeling like I was entering a set on a movie. The best thing about it all was the fact that it was warm and beautiful, and the sun was shining for Jesus! After unloading the bus, and getting up to my over looking room, I saw Mikey( our fly guy) at the pool, so Of course I called him to bug um, and found out that HE has a friend who works on the biggest Cirque Du Soleil show, KA, and that he was getting an escorted backstage pass, and got special vip box tickets. You'd better believe I tried to get in on that, but to no avail.

Anyway we walked around the strip a little bit, went into the famous MGM Hotel, saw the Lions, 
which by the way was very sad, there glass cage looked worse than anything I've ever seen at a zoo. One thing I was surprised about was how diverse the employees are here, again 
another form of my naivety. Of course we had to go into new york, and to the new york hotel. We do anything that reminds of us home. 
Since we were there we had to ride the famous Manhattan roller coaster. Now I wouldn't normally spend 14 dollars on a ride, and almost didn't, but hey I did. Now the only thing I absolutely wanted to 
do was go to the M&MS World store. You see ever since my freshman year in college I have been a collector of things that are assoicated with them. I love the Characters, and over the years have found some awesome figurines, and candy
dispencers. My mother even stayed up all night one christmas to sow m&ms material to a bathroom set for me. I love her, I call her milk chocolate.

Being in the M store was great! I loved being overwhelmed by the things I like. 4 stories of this crazy madness, and a 3d theatre!!! Of course I made them and stay and watch the movie, It was called I lost my m in vegas. It was how Red gambled away his letter, and how they searched to
get it back, it was cute. Las V is a pretty crazy place, I have to say I felt way out of place there, for one I do not gamble, so the biggest thing to do there I didn't want to do. But the whole place is surrounded by a sort of bad vibe for me. The only reason why I would even consider living there would be to be in a Cirque Du Soleil show.
Well, the only other thing for me to do would be to see a show. Now George, our substitute Company manager got a whole bunch of free front row tickets for The Blue Man group. So that was the plan, he couldn't get any Cirque shows cause they are so in demand. So we decided to head back to the hotel when it started getting dusk, wash up and get some dinner before the show. In Vegas most shows are late, Blueman was a 10pm curtain. Well As I am about to leave my little owls nest room to meet them in the lobby, I get a text from Mikey asking me telling me he still had 1 ticket to KA. WHAT!!!!! Yeah let's just say I totally dumped my friends to go there. SOrry! I know I know. They understood fine. I ended up joining Mikey, Trish(spot girl) his friend Bridget who works for the show, she actually deals just with all the shoes of the 80 cast members, for dinner, Wolf Gang Puck, and Mikey was the big brother who payed for it all, Absolutely fabulous!
The SHOW was absolutely splendiffricallamazatasicallyawesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and I ended up buying the stuffed turtle.
re-ignited my passion and dream to be in a cirque show, so you'll probably be hearing more about that in the future,since I ended up meeting 2 Penn staters who work on 2 different cirque shows, and told me alot about whats going on in the future for cirque, I have started applying and getting in the frame of mind to audition for them.
The next morning It was still beautiful so I layed out by pool, got to give the reason to call me dark chocolate!We are now in Santa Barbara California. For the first time what is going on in the world hit us, as we drove in the city and saw the haze and layer of fog above the immediate sky that is from the smoke from the fires. There is this eery feeling over the whole place because of it. We had a show tonight, it went well, it was in a beautiful theater that is made to llok like the outside of a an old spanish town, It was really cool, Everybody voice felt so much better too after having those 3 days off. The nice thing about today was getting up at noon, getting a breakfast burrito from some small shop, heading to the beach, and having breakfast with peace. It was the total contrast to Las Vegas, and very much appreciated.
