Sorry for the lack of posts this past week, but I've been out in Las Vegas [1], all 115°F of heat, hanging out with Hoade as he did research for his new novel. We were lead to believe that the Hôtel San Rémo [2] had free wireless, but as we found out, nothing in Las Vagas is free, and the Hôtel San Rémo was no exception; it also didn't have wireless but ethernet so I was out of luck in using my laptop (which only has wireless).
It'll be a few days before I work through the 350 plus photos and get the write-up written. It's got chills (“Man, this hotel room is cold!”) and spills (“Ouch! Oof! Umph! Ow! Yikes!”). It's got action (“Come on—baby needs a new pair of shoes!” “This is a slot machine, not craps, and you don't even have a baby!”) and romance (“So … how much you got? For five hundred I can give you an excellent time.”). Intrigue (“What are you taking pictures of?”) and conspriacy (“Bob Lazar [3] was forced to move to Mexico because of his exposé of Area 51 [4].”). And the unexpected (“Dude, the power just went out!” “Watch out for the slot zombies!”).
But first, I have to finish reading Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince [5].
Sorry.
