    Some highlights from my visit.

    Vegas has a really bad homeless problem, but it's okay cause as a result you get funny sings of people begging for money. Though there is a clear lack of creativity. Was pretty funny when I first saw the "Need money for Weed" & "Fuck You" signs, but after the 3rd time the charm is lost. You're going to have to do better then that if you want me to pelt you in the face with nickles.

    The job market must be bad because seem willing to do just about anything for money. The bad impersonators & street side musicians weren't the things that left an impression though. There was this one fucking weirdo who was in downtown (which is were I stayed) who dressed as a baby. Like wtf, I'm still utterly confused by what he was trying to achieve. I mean nobody is going to get even close enough to you to give you money, they're far to worried thinking that you'll stab them to do something like that.

    In downtown there's is a stage where cover bands would perform. The first was an 80s one that filled with the following personas: on lead guitar was wannabe Eddie Van Halen, on bass was wannabe Billie Idol, on drums was wannabe Darryl McDaniels, and on lead vocals was wannabe lead singer of DEVO and wannabe B-52 chick. All in all they weren't that bad at all, unlike the second group. The second one - gathered from what little I could stand - was just a rock cover band that was all over the place. The lead singer looked like a wannabe Erik Estrada and the guitar played just butchered everything he played. I'm sorry but slow playing Jimmy Page guitar rifts when covering Zeppelin & adding a shit, bottom of the barrel, Tom Morello esc whammy bar to Slash's solo on Sweet Child of Mine does not do much for me. But really the highlight of this all was this one guy during the 80s cover performance. The dude from a distanced looked like #Ben Mendelsohn and was completely blasted. He was trying his darnedest to imitate some of Michael Jackson dance moves, which resulted in people treating him like he was a plague carrier. The dude was fucking hilarious though, definitely the highlight of my people watching endeavor

    Think if I ever do go back I'm going to avoid downtown completely, it's just to far from the rest of the strip.

    In a few hours I'm off to spend a few days here to either reenact #Leaving Las Vegas or #Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas - haven't decided yet.

    So if I don't make it back I'd just like to let you all know that I hate you all,I hope you all die, ect. ect. ect.
    You know, hope nothing but good things happen to all you good people.

      Editing … Unfortunately, despite the copious amounts of alcohol and ether that entered my body, I'm still here. When I don't feel dead inside I'll share some of the stupid shit I saw.

      Editing … ... no. Been here so many times, so wasn't in much of a tourist mood. Besides, I was to busy drinking and people watching to take picture. Though in hindsight I wish I did, some really weird people can be found there.
