Vegas Weekend!

This weekend Justyn and I went to Vegas to meet up with peeps that participated in SEMA and to celebrate our 4 year anniversary.

We started out by checking into our hotel and doing a little gambling on a $.05 machine. I put in a dollar and won $.20. Yay!

Here's our room. It was decent for what we paid. Our bed was against the window and had remote control curtains which gave us access to a nice view.

After we were settled in to our room, we met up with Kris and went ziplining down Fremont Street. I was super nervous but after a couple drinks, I calmed down enough and did it. It was super fun and I wanna go back and do it again at night when the Fremont Street dome show thingy is on. We met up with another one of our friends, Dave who had taken our pictures from the balcony of the Fitzgerald bar. I don't have the pictures yet, but I'll edit this post and show you guys if he let me use his pics.

We then went to the Hard Rock for dinner at Johnny Smalls. I've been craving their tapas style American food ever since we had it the last time we ewre in Vegas. Soo delish!

After dinner we all went to the Stratosphere where Justyn and Kris wanted to jump off of the top! And they did!

The next day we went for dim sum at a local place that was recommended to us by a friend. It was pretty good and authentic which was comforting.



After that we went back to our hotel to gamble a bit before heading over to Erik's suite at the Bellagio. His room was soo pimp. It had 3 bathrooms!



We went to dinner after meeting up with Imelda, Dave & Erik at the Grand Lux Cafe. This place was supposedly founded by the same guy who opened Cheesecake Factory. The food was really good and we were primed for partying the rest of the night.

After dinner we went back to Erik's hotel to have some drinks before going downstairs to gamble.



The next day Justyn and I had brunch at our hotel which was mediocre at best. Then we gambled a little more and then went to the airport to wait for our flight. We hung out at Tequilaria and had a few beers before flying home.



Man.. I'm completely wiped out but we had such an awesome weekend with friends and fun. Can't wait to do it again!

Halloween 2010

We had so much going on for Halloween this year. Not to brag but we got invited to 6 different parties. There was no way we could make all of them so we went to whichever one we were invited to first. The first party started on the 23rd which was at Jason's house. Then on Friday, we went to Catherine's house. The highlight of the night was a group of guys dressed up as a team from Justice League. There was The Flash, Superman, Batman and Green Lantern. Unfortunately I didn't have a chance to take a picture of them as a group but I got shots of most of them. The food was great too. Catherine and her dad made fried wontons which I helped stuff with cheese and pork. Of course we made our pulled pork pizza rolls which were a hit as usual.

Oh yeah and here is the pumpkin Justyn carved. My pumpkin didn't turn out the way I wanted so I ended up throwing it away.

Last night we went to Julie's house for her Halloween shindig. She really went all out with the decorations. She even decorated the garage which turned out awesome. By this point my battery was really low so I only got a few pictures. I'm hoping I'll see some of the pictures that other people took and hopefully I'll be able to post them here. The best costume was Jack from Jack in the Box. He put so much time into making the ball head that it won me over.

Tonight I'm going to be getting over this massive hangover and practicing my Iron Chef dish. Wish me luck!
