Off Into the Desert

Well, we all knew it'd only be a matter of time.

Yes. You are correct.

We are returning to Vegas this weekend. And by us, I mean a total of 11 of us. All guys. All friends. All extended weekend. Oh. Yes.

It's one of my roommate's birthday and much like the house humored me and went to my favorite lunch spot, we are humoring him with a stay in Vegas. Of course we are doing the obligatory bottle service/VIP table at a club (XS at the Encore), walking the strip, gambling, eating at a bunch of nice restaurants, and lounging by the pool.

I'll be leaving tomorrow night after work, so sadly this is my last entry for the week, and to be honest - I'm a little scared. I don't know if I can handle Vegas for four days. The longest I've been is two. If I make it through this, I'm going to certainly be broken. I'll return to work Tuesday a shell of the man I used to be. But, as long as it was worth it, I won't have a problem with it.

And don't worry - this won't go undocumented. We're bringing cameras to capture some moments - but the big plan is to bring 3 flips cams with us. Our goal? Set up a closet/the bidet room (yes we have a bidet in our suite) as the "confessional" and shoot the entire weekend like a MTV Real World / Jersey Shore show. Brilliant right? With the other two flips cams, we'll document our time in the casinos and drunkenly stumbling around. Why will this work? All of us going went to school for some sort of production - whether it be film or television, and, I'll be the one editing it (since I have all this practice). Oh, right, and who doesn't like a bunch of drunken idiots goofing off in front of a camera?

Once it is done, we'll slap it online and see if we garner any attention from it. So don't worry, assuming we fulfill this plan, you all will see the weekend first hand.

But, on another note, I'll leave you with something visual.

We just released a another trailer, one that will surely be big. Yes, they've made versions of this film before, but this is a little different. A bit edgier, a bit more "fun." Faithful adaptation? No, I wouldn't say so.

But from what I've seen it's very enjoyable.  What do you think?

  1. I didn't think I could ever imagine anyone other than Redford as Gatsby, but Leo has my vote! It certainly does appear edgier than the original - another one to add to my list!

    Enjoy Vegas (and be careful....). I am not sure I want to see the footage from the weekend!!!

    ieyu, ilys!
