Kitten Gathering - Las Vegas - Feb 2003

[sparrow]

Here we come vegas. We're totally soaked here in Los Angeles and it is suppose to continue raining for 4 more days. If this weather follows us to sin city at least we can just crash in xita's room and drink all day and night

So who is the designated kitten making sure we all stagger to the correct bar

And yet, I just can't seem to care
What no hug

[tiyodragon]

Sparrow, the answer to your question would be Agent E. She is the local kitten assigned with the Impossible Mission of getting the rest of us from club to club!



Of course, we'll have to inquire as to her fee....



The holder of the bail money would be Lael...



Queen Xita will point the way to the cabby...



Urn of Osiris will record everything in the Tome of Kitten History...



Leatherqueen will index and label everything clearly...



MaidNZ will of course have spreadsheets at the ready...



and I will offer myself shamelessly as the official Kitten Dance Instructor...

Thanks for the 411 tiyodragon. Can't wait to get there. Making sure to have my hockey stick ready so I can assist with the bodyguarding duties for our beloved Queen Xita

And yet, I just can't seem to care
What no hug

[Always E]

Okay...Linda what have you volunteered me for???



And yet...Nicky and I were just discussing how many drunk kittens can you put in the back of a pick-up before the cops pull you over...



Of course now that Nicky has taken to spending every waking minute in Vegas checking out all the local clubs...perhaps we'll have to enlist her help in the direction department...but only if we don't distract from the spreadsheet mania that consumes her.



I can't wait to see you all in Vegas...and just remember...don't trust a word Nicky says about me...she's under the spell that is Vegas and can't be held responsible.



That's all for now...safe journey to all the traveling kittens!

Just lamenting that I can't go



Ho's! Have fun...

Hehehe.... and for a low monthly fee of $9.95 you too can enjoy the sights and sounds of the kittens in vegas... brought to you by me.... the official kitten videographer and photographer...



But wait! There's more! Hehehe.... I have to quit watching tv.



Plus I don't drink so I can help corral too! *grin*



I will be in Vegas at noon tomorrow!!! WOOHOO!!!

[sparrow]

No pictures, no flash photography, no snapping of photos when I'm in a drunkin state

But cash incentives could change my mind

And yet, I just can't seem to care
What no hug

[Rane018]

DRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII



you have to go! i was so loking forward to meeting you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



i may have come up with a plan to get to vegas, kittens. we'll see if my conspirators agree to it... lol... it's just for a nite but at least i'll get to put faces to fake names and forget both the real and screen names by the time i head back to LA from the smashing good time in sin city. emphasis on smashed and sin.

[MadeinNZ]

Great googly moogly. Its friggin hard to find an internet cafe within walking distance of the strip (that doesn't cost you and arm and a leg - or a piece of clothing - don't ask). But I've found one (thanks to Celia and Melissa - yay). Of course, the owners thought the pope was visiting by the way I kissed the ground outside when I arrived (plus I was wearing white robes and a funny hat - don't ask).



So, I'm here! A kiwi in a strange land. I had the great pleasure of meeting two of my favourite kittens in LA. I'm not saying who, only that when we had lunch - we needed a separate table for a certain someone's breasts. Yeah Julia - those gals get around.



Vegas is much worse and much better than I imagined. And I can't get used to this tipping thing. I'm so paranoid about offending someone, that I overtip. I'm not kidding. I asked a guy at the airport whether I was at the right baggage claim and then slipped him a $50. He complained that he just came off the same plane as me and therefore was also from New Zealand but I was like "Mate - we're in the US now, work with me".



So I spent about $370.00 in tips by the time I'd reached the hotel (don't ask).



Eden has shown me a great time and plied me with alcohol. But don't worry - I tipped her as well. So we've checked out the venues and all seems to be great. Of course, when we had lunch today (at this amazing rainforest cafe in the MGM Grand - where I did the usual touristy thing by saying 'wow' every 5 seconds) Eden just had to put in a call to Toni (Kieli) so that she could ridicule me about getting here so early. Always a pleasure mate.



Ooh - and I had my first big win today. Dropped 5c in a slot machine on the way back from breakfast and walked away with $13 (now that's what I call a return). I fully expect an invitation to the High Rollers Club to be waiting for me when I get back (which I'm guessing is slightly different to the High Flyers Club).



So tomorrow's the big day. I'll make sure I'm around the hotel for most of the day if you want to hook up (and again I mean in a non-pimping way) when you arrive (my room's 1748). If I'm not there I'll be at the slot machines. I'm on a roll!



Travel safely everyone. See you soon.

Woohoo! Nicky is surviving in Vegas!



Now if we can just find someone to manage her money and tip giving.....



AH! I am leaving for the airport hotel in an hour (I have to be there at 4 am for security and my roomie said no way is she driving me... hehehe) - I'm so excited! *snicker* Xita, Holley, you have my thinking in 80's songs now.... LOL

[Scout]

Okay, the tipping story is just too funny. I forgot that kiwis don't tip. Wouldn't it be great if we could convince Americans to do the same? Be a helluva lot cheaper. hehe



Just wanted to wish all who are attending a safe and happy time. Enjoy!

[sparrow]

Godspeed to all of you traveling to sin city, be safe and remember to start your drinking on the plane. We'll see you all tomorrow evening. Get the cooler and beer mugs ready, vegas won't know what hit um.

And yet, I just can't seem to care
What no hug

[tommo]

If I recall, Nicky, my tits weren't the ones getting dirty looks for laughing too loud.



I'm just sayin'...

It's in your eyes, I can tell what you're thinking; my heart is sinking too...It's no surprise, I've been watching you lately; I want to make it with you...

[sparrow]

Watch out for the one arm bandits Nicky

And yet, I just can't seem to care
What no hug

[Rane018]

ok, now i'm getting pissy. kittens passing through LA and not even letting me know about it. makes me feel all unpopular.

I would like to take this opportunity to tell all the kittens traveling to Las Vegas to have a great trip and make sure you take lots of pictures for those of us who aren't going. I have a job interview on Friday morning and if things go right, I may fly out for a day or two. I'll stay with my mom and dad about 1 mile from the Sahara. If I can get there, I'll ride over to the Sahara with my dad who works there.

Much love to all everyone and have a safe and happy trip.

Just wanted to add my "Have loooots of fun!" to the list.

I wish Martha and I could go to meet you all and enjoy Vegas (never been there), but college and work made it impossible this time.

I hope this becomes an annual event, so we'll have another chance next year.



Have a safe trip and drink some shots for us, poor kittens who will be just waiting for the reports and pics...

Hey all



It's 4:15 am EST Darcy and I are up, dressed, and getting ready to throw the luggage in the car. 4 pieces, 2 people, 5 nights - I overpacked, I always do, but the all important laptop is there.



Soooo - Vegas, we're headed your way.



Ciao, Melissa

I brought marshmallows!

[rduffy24]

Just so you know,I am not envious at all of the Vegas kitties. I mean, who would want to be in Vegas having fun when you can go to work in the freezing cold? And yes, it IS snowing here now!

Anyway, Nicky- try to remember to either win lots of cash or save some money for your London trip. The exchange rate is a little different, and I'm just thinking of how much you'll have to tip me for the Museum guided tours!



Have fun, all of you! When do the first reports arrive?

Wait - I was getting dirty looks? And you didn't tell me? Mate - I could have got lucky there. Its not like we had much to say to each other.



And Rane - really, being met at the airport makes me sound way more popular than I am. Really. Way more.

[tommo]

Yes it does, because you know, five minutes after we'd stared at one another and gone "Ooh, you're shorter/taller/thinner/fatter/less funny/more annoying than you are on the net"; that was the end of that visit.

It's in your eyes, I can tell what you're thinking; my heart is sinking too...It's no surprise, I've been watching you lately; I want to make it with you...

[xita]

People have been meeting ruth already? I would be jealous but..

Hi all. Sam (sparrow) and I are off to the airport in less than 3 hours and wanted to wish all the traveling kittens a safe journey.



It appears the heavens have opened so our Queeny Z can travel the roads safely. Let's hope they stay open. In the meantime, I'll try to keep Sam from calling Z every hour on the hour asking, "are you here yet?" I'll probably have as much luck as I would keeping her out of a sports bar.

-carrissa

[xita]

rane I only got the chance to do so myself last night, she's a naughty kitten that ruth.



carrissa I am hoping for nine , or so. No later than 10. I am so paranoid I even got snow chains last night, in case hee.

Z - Just remember, the later you arrive the more drinks it will take to catch up. Wait, that sounds more like an incentive, huh?
