I CAN RESIST EVERYTHING EXCEPT TEMPTATION

longest photoblog EVER

I know you have all been on the edge of your seats waiting for this, so without further ado, I present you: Vegas 2007. I deleted the incriminating photos. And there were many.



DAY ONE

Janelle and I kickstarting the party at Norman Mineta Airport. Yes, we are drunk. And yes, my toothpaste and jam were taken from me at the baggage check.

Taken from the balcony of the first room we had at the majestic Imperial Palace. There were bloodstains on the pavement 9 floors down, and macaws on everything from the bedspread to the wall trim. Thankfully, not 5 minutes into check-in, our toilet overflowed and we were sent to the much plushier 7th floor.

Is the fuzziness of this picture due to the fact that we were taking it with drunken, unsteady hands? Could be. I don’t remember taking it but it was at the Outback for our first Vegas meal. By the end of dinner I was drinking Long Island Iced Teas. This was a mistake.

As was this. Janelle started ransacking the unwanted potato skins on my plate and this illustrates the regret she felt after her barbaric acts.

I don’t remember why Janelle was posing like this, but the main point is I caught it on camera.

At Casino Royale after dinner. Drinks flowed freely, as you can tell.

The biting trend continued all weekend. I love this picture because it looks like we are all in a different place as far as levels of drunkenness.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Dogs bite.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

I can’t not laugh every time I see Maria in this picture.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

And the biting continues…

I think this was the picture that spawned Brian and I to notice how calm Janelle looks in every shot, despite the mayhem that goes on in the rest of the frame. I don’t know why this is, since Andy was feeding Tokyo drinks like they were going out of style.

But then I saw this in my camera and that theory goes to shit.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

I like Janessa’s candid happiness/drunkenness.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Huggies for all!


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Me and baby.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Babies!

Josh was attacked at some point in the night.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

and it goes on like this…


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Don’t remember taking this!


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

I like this picture of Janess and Laura because you can tell either a) they’re having fun or b) they’re tossed. Or a combo of both.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Back to more Josh love.

Ryan and Josh enjoying the evening.

Maria getting in on the action.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Me and baby.

Brian is the drunken cherry on top.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

I don’t understand the correlation between alcoholic beverages consumed and inability to keep mouth closed, but I like it.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Little known fact: Josh’s face tastes like chocolate.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Somehow, amid all the chaos, Carol and Laura managed to win some money.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Somehow we managed to stumble to Tao (which after searching Google I discovered/remembered was at the Venetian) after Casino Royale. Here’s what we had to talk to in order to rest our weary feet.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

This isn’t what it looks like. Ok, so maybe it is.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Me and Janelle at Tao.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Asked some guy to take these.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Was probably a mistake.



DAY TWO


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

We foolishly decided to try the famed Imperial Palace buffet the next morning. Here’s Janessa hiding from the camera.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

And here’s Brian not hiding. He is expressing what we all felt in our stomachs moments after finishing lunch.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

I decided I was going to try to capture Janelle with a mouthful of something to document every meal. That ambitious goal was abandoned immediately after this picture.

Extreme tiger pics! He lives at the Mirage.

Janessa was able to showcase her love for Lenny Briscoe forever in digital perfection.

In Maria’s room before the bachelorette party.

I was late to board the biting train.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Me and Allison.

Brian and Dave met us at the Geisha bar to show off what they had done during boy’s day off. We’re so proud.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Now we see where Maria gets her cuteness. How many mothers and aunts can really party with the best of them?


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Right before we left the Double Down.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

How we got to sit at Pure. Whoring ourselves for seating is what we do best!


DAY THREE


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Janelle says, “Hurray for Day Three and no pregnancies!”


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Shortly before being shooed away from the front gates of the restaurant where Janelle was playing in the decoration bucket.

We spent an hour at least looking at ourselves in the mirror over Brian and Janessa’s bed. Here’s a mess-up.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

and another mistake…


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

and finally we got a picture where none of us was all fuzzy due to overexposure. If you didn’t realize how vain we all were, well, here’s your proof.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Janessa and Brian about to get dirrrrty in the luv tub.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Here we are later that night at the Shadow Bar. We sat for an hour staring at women behind an illuminated wall. Who knew nipples could get so hard?


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Still at the Shadow Bar. We went to Pure later, but going with a guy sucks out all the free sitting.


DAY FOUR – AKA I WANT TO GO HOME

And now as a special surprise, this is what I was treated to on the second day of our trip when I went into the bathroom to release the buffet. I laughed so hard I almost had an accident.

Janelle and I used to hide Ciana at the old apartment. It was always a highly anticipated event, but after kind of getting tired of it as we often do after months of doing a thing, I forgot all about her. Until Vegas. What a trip it was.

THE END
