Hell Yes I Met Joe Cada.

Above: Joe with the $8.5 mil in cash Below: Joe with me. Pretty much the same thing.

Of course I was hanging out with the biggest celebrity in Vegas, $8.5 million dollar World Series of Poker winner Joe Cada. Duh. He's friends with roomie Adam Van Wildest (read his epic blog post about attending the event here) We were dropping bottles in the VIP he rented out one night, then playing beer pong with him the next.Too bad his 19 year old girlfriend let everyone back to his $5k a night suite at the Rio but me because she was worried he might like me better. Smart girl ;) Meeting celebs in Vegas on the reg, stay posted for the next one!

Meeting Jon Ginoli From The Pansy Division!

Jon Ginoli (from the Pansy Division!!) had a great acoustic show last night at The Source! Surprisingly, there weren't many people at the intimate theater. It could have been that is was a Monday night... or the fact it was pissing rain all day (hence my disaster of a head of hair :) But the bad weather was well worth going out in to see the performer rip up the acoustic guitar! He was so well spoken during the Q & A part of the show while people poured their hearts out about how thankful they were to have Pansy Division when they were coming out. It was really touching how deeply the band has affected people in the 15 years (!!) they have been together. His reserved demeanor, and thin frame were so stark to the animated performances of such songs as, "20 years of cock" : ) He is a genus. Talented, humors, a true pioneer- I would compare him to Kanye West on the level of making amazing hooks, paired with witty, funny, sometimes touching lyrics. It was so much fun getting to meet him!

Meeting The Head Of The Coast Guard

How cute is the Commandant!!

Me and the Vice Commandant!!

Yesterday I was lucky enough to meet the highest ranking member of the Coast Guard, Commandant Thad Allen. This man is the real deal- he was confirmed by the senate, and appointed by his boss, the President. This is the kind of person you want on your friend's list! : )
I got to meet him because Chris got a very prestigious award, and it was presented to him in front of a crowd of people by the main man himself. All day I had been plotting how I could sneak a picture with him. I had been practicing the switch-a-roo, were you sneak up and pop in next to someone then say "look" and you both look at your friend with the camera. But all my practicing was in vain, because with the help of the wildly talented and WELL published Coast Guard Photographer, Dan Bender (who, hopefully, we'll hear more from!) I ended up with not only a picture with Thad, I also scored one with the darling and my person role model, Vice Commandant Vivien Crea (read that link, this woman is amazing, the highest ranking female in all of the military and the first to be that. Not to mention she's a total sweetheart!) So it ended up be a great weekend and total success!! :)

Me With The Portland Trailblazer Dancers

So my awesome brother hooked us up seats in the Rose Garden party suite, aka 3 suites put together and our own private bartendar. While we were there the Blazer dancers came up! So of course I had to get a pic with them. :) They were all very sweet, and the game was a blast!
