Viva!

Viva Las Vegas!

I went to Vegas ten days ago (sorry it took me so long to report this). I attended the ABC Expo (serioulsy, I was there on business). There was so much going on: the VMAs, some kind of Wisconsin sporting event (there were so many people in Wisconsin sweat shirts) and, of course, the Expo.

For so many people, it is the ultimate party destination. I took the 7am flight from Newark, NJ and these crazy guys were drinking on the plane. I mean, so early? You're that desperate? They were almost passed out by the time we arrived. Where do you go from there?

Ok, Ok, I'm not a goody two shoes. I just thought it was interesting that they were so desperate to escape life.

On the plane, I was sitting next to this lovely English guy, Will, who was showing me what is now my new favorite book: Banksy, War and Piece. Bansky is this rogue British grafitti artist and no one knows who he is. His witty, antiestablishment art and rebellious perspective are truly genuis. I particually like his use of the Rat (note the capital R) as sort of a mockery against authority. He is, I guess, a reversed Pied Piper, bringing 'em back...

I love that book so much that I ordered 10 copies and gave them out to my friends and friends of friends that have a little rogue and rebellion in them. Enjoy the read, guys.
