So i havent had to work in like 2 weeks, i had my daughter over for a couple days at the beginning, then mike picked her up one night when i was expecting her to stay over. So some new friends of mine invited me to join them at goodtimes for some goth event there. It was pretty weak so aaron suggested we go to firefly for snacks. Why we were there munching he offers up the random idea to go to LA the next morning. For once im not doing anything, so we make the plans at 2am to be out of vegas by 5 that afternoon when kristyn got out of work.
Went home, packed my bag for CA, then packed another bag for colorado when i got back because i knew i wouldnt have time. Aaron picked me up, we went to my work to pick up my employee reward card thing to get cheap hotel rooms, went to his place, played bioshock, met up kristyn, and we were off. Got to LA at like 9:30, plenty of time to put our panties on, lauren met us at the hotel room and headed out to Das Bunker. It was pretty cool there, i liked the layout of the space a lot and the music situation wasnt bad. Lots of eeeeenteresting looking kids, an abundance of ridiculous alien looking plastic accessories. Some chunk of their lighting system actually collapsed onto the main dance floor area, i was kind of sad i wasnt there to see it coming down, it gave things a very post apocalyptic feel until they decided it might pose a risk to have kids dancing under shit that is clearly falling apart, so they closed out that area of the floor. There is a serious shortage of 24 hour good food in LA, you would think with a billion people living on top of each other there would be more late night dining available. Its not like the place we found was not busy, we waited in line for at least half an hour to get a couple burritos and chips. Eventually headed back to the hotel room, lauren stayed over with us and cozied up with aaron in the pull out bed. I slept with kristyn, but i guess i failed since i didnt sleep with her in the metaphorical sense like i was told i should.
day two aaron and i woke up 15 mins before the free breakfast buffet closed, so in our shorts we stumbled out into the hotel lobby and started loading up plates with pancakes and eggs to bring back up to the room. went back to sleep after destroying some rubbery food, probably werent actually awake until at least 2. got up and wandered around the hotel area, which was apparently jewtown, took some pictures of jew themed stuff, had some tacos, met up kristyns friend carie, everyne got ready to get crunk, fooled around in the hotel for a while, went to bar sinister off hollywood, that was pretty good too, musically not as good as bunker, but they had a live band playing some percussion stuff that was pretty fun at the time. In a continued effort to get me to sleep with his friend aaron coerced me into getting an adios motherfucker, probably the worst drink i have ever come across. Apparently our guests were too drunk/tired to make it home this night too, so carie and lauren again crashed out in the room with us.
I tried to set the alarm but apparently im so out of practice that i cant figure those things out, fortunately carie woke us up in time to get everything packed up and to get some breakfast before we got on the road. Super wet driving conditions until we passed victorville-ish and then it was desert dry, but kicking up a sandstorm that was abusing kristyns new car. Talked about sociopaths on the way home, that was fun. Aaron and i talked about pimping hoes for a while, kristyn didnt seem terribly enthused at times but she had her own stories to tell.
During the entire trip i took a million photos that they all wish i hadnt, but im merciless and will post them now. Peep this yo.

Spent from sunday til thursday with rachel at my uncle's house near telluride ski resort thingy. It was brutally cold out there, almost got hit on the way home by some dude who doesnt have ice driving skills. First day rachel and i played in the snow, ended up getting pretty much stranded in town and by the time i got home she was crying because the cold hurt her. Reduced my enthusiasm for wandering around the actual town quite a bit. The next day rachel and leslie ran some errands part of the day and trevor and his room mate and i met them in town for some dinner. Spent most of the time i was there talking to trevor about economic and government stuff. Hes definitely 2 steps ahead of me on most of these topics. Rachel went to ski school as well, she seemed to really enjoy that. Thursday we went back to vegas, rachel spent most of that last day crying about how she wanted to see her mom, probably the longest time she had been away from her evarrrrrr. Got home, somehow i ended up reading online all night and i havent gone to bed yet. Im thinking im due for a nap soon, then i might head out with kristyn and aaron again this evening if they do decide to go do this thing.
If not that then kristyn probably wants to go to tiger army tomorrow too.
So yeah, yay for meeting kids who dont suck. Boo to snow, i will never again be cold. Its a life mission now.
