Long over due on this but heres some pics.
Oddly appropriate for those of you that know/knew me from other boards.
One of the many pics from the night of hanging with Sascha Konietzko. Hilarious backstory being is he was the one that kept wanting the photo opportunties with me, because we were both intoxicated and know each other. Good times!
Is it just me or has an elephant entered the room?

What’s the story with the Springer pic, Noir? Is that at a Wax Museum or something?

Hot chicks…
Hot chicks…
Yeah, they’re awesome.
I met those gals at the Misfits show last year.
They were going bananas in the pit. Total warriors.
The one one the right came down also for the Ministry gig in May, and they’re probably gonna meet up at the Motorhead gig too.

The dude is my good buddy Joe that has been going with me to a lot of the shows with me (Misfits, Samhain, Danzig, Ministry . . ).
Joe and I are both old happily married geezers and the girls above got old men of their own. Our wives don’t care to be part of our rock and roll shenanigans and the girls’ fellas sit all that stuff out as well. These girls know we won’t creep on 'em and we make sure to watch out for them and keep d-bags from pestering them. So it’s a win-win for everyone. Especially us because . . . yeah, hot chicks.
And it should be noted that Joe is a pretty cool dude and is in no way Australian.

True. Joe is definitely NOT Australian.
Thank you for clearing that up.
When I first met up with you guys at the hotel before the Ministry show, I thought he was a Prongs guys. Was trying to figure out who.

I think (if I’m recalling correctly) Grumps, Sean, and you were the only Prongers. Ron is an old buddy from the Nokia show in 2012 and Facebook, and Jennie, of course, is one of the Queens of Bakersfield - also on FB.
Joe is one of those weird dudes that manages to maintain a life without online social media. Weirdo.

I actually thought that was real until this post but I guess I can see it is fake now.[/reply]
I didn’t know. That’s why I was asking. It looks “real” in the sense that it appears to be an actual physical stage, signage, and props. But I don’t think that Jerry Springer was actually there.

Yep comes from my previous trip in Las Vegas. I wanna say it was called Madame Tussauds. One of the few places that gives free booze out there. Ever been?

You’re right, Madame Tussaud’s is the wax museum at THE VENETIAN. I’ve never gone inside the museum. Now that I know they give booze in there, it certainly makes the idea a lot more appealing.
SIDE NOTE: For those of you unaware, you can get free booze at any of the casinos, but generally only in the casino/gaming area. If you’re not actually wanting to gamble, your best bet is to just stick a dollar in one of the penny slots games, set it to one-line-one-cent in case you accidentally spin it, and then just act like you’re playing until the cocktail waitress shows up. You can do the same at the Video Poker bars (and get immediate service). Just put a few bucks in the machine and then tab through the different screens for rules and options and kind of make like you’re playing a game for as long as you want to keep getting drinks. Then when you’re done just hit “Cash out” and take your money and leave. Always tip your bartenders and waitresses, though. People who don’t tip go to Hell.
Do you have to order bottom shelf stuff?
You can ask for whatever you want. Selection will depend on the casino.
If you’re playing at a low-roller, off-strip, dirtbag casino, they’ll likely just give you generic crap by default.
But most places you can be brand specific on a lot of stuff “Grey Goose and Tonic”, “Jack Daniels and Coke”, etc.
If you want something specific you just ask for it, or ask if they have it. If they can’t honor it, they’ll tell you. I’m not really specific about my booze when I’m gambling, but my go to mixed drinks are gin and tonic (I usually ask for Beefeater), Jack and Coke, or Bloody Mary. Otherwise, I ask for beer. They’ll have all the typical American swill (Bud, Miller, Coors, etc.) and the predictable imports (Heineken, Corona, Stella). And some carry some other cool stuff too . . . it just depends on the property.
When I’m drinking beer I usually ask specifically for Sam Adams because it’s, to me, the best beer that MOST of them carry.
I also ask for tequila sometimes and can get most of them to give me some Patron.
Most of the major casinos have a High Limit Room as well (higher gaming limits for big dollar play) and these rooms will very often have their own dedicated servers. You can predictably ask for a lot more there, haha.
With Smurf and his lovely wife.
Man, I gotta admit, when that 3rd girl showed up wearing that black dress, I was hoping one of those boob holders (i didn’t care which one) on the dress would go on strike [:P]
grmpy, your wife rules. Gunnar, your battle jacket is sparse for a man of your musical tastes. I gotta meet both of you up before I’m unable.
