That Nerdy Chick: #Blogworld in A Nerd Shell

OOHHH Vegas, sweet vegas! What a trip ... first, let me preface this by saying I can't stand conferences. Like for real, I think we are pioneers in this space right now, and sort of navigating as we go ... a lot of peeps just get up on their high horse and say this is the way it is and why and blah blah blah versus even just sharing best practices ... just SOMETHING. I don't ever take that much away from conferences - just FYI. I went to BlogWorld because of Kodak, thanks again, and to go and hang out with you fabulous TNTML readers.

 

I have to admit though, Friday night in Vegas was a complete trip. First, I got to hang out with TNTML friend John - who has been getting his nerd on with us from almost day 1. I saw him checkin on FourSquare at the MGM Grand while I was over at the Luxor. I hop, skipped, and jumped on the tram and went by to say hi. Literally, I hopped on over a couple of drunks, skipped over some cracks, as I didn't want to break my mama's back, and jumped onto the tram.

 

 

 

 

We grabbed a couple of drinks, shot the shit, and got our nerd on. Super bad ass, and dude, I am totally convinced that is Vince Vaughn that does the announcement at the Lion cages.

 

 

 

 

I digress ... I then left, and met up with one of my favorite buddies from the Playboy Mansion, Fern, and his friend Zach and my friend who works at the Wynn, Price. We had a table at Tryst, and oh.my.gatos. that place was off the walls bananas. After many a shots, and SF Red bull and vodkas, I was feeling saucier than a martian from Uranus.

 

 

 

 

The details are a bit spotty, but somehow - I got from the Wynn to the Palazzo, where I then went to my car to grab my sock monkey PJs, and wound up grabbing my Facebook/ Twitter carpool buddy's cookie monster tee instead. I am just going to assume that I got changed in my car, as that is my MO ... yep, 4 chan - I was naked on camera somewhere ... go fetch. Then I proceeded to walk around the Palazzo in my flip flops, men's cookie monster tee, and leggings. Yep, I was a popular nerd. HAHA!! Friends were made, laughs were shared, and nerds got it on ... it was pretty funny. I then ended back up in Fern and Zach's room, but was smart enough to have called and texted my carpool buddy to remind him to meet me at the Wynn at 8am, as we had to take off early to get him back to LA for this lunch. Apparently, I called him as well to confirm, so nice to know that drunken Jen Jen is still pretty responsible. However, I do NOT want to hear that message - hahahahaha!!!

 

I also remembered to set my alarm somehow ... and then proceeded to pass the fuck out. Then, someone woke up and said what's that buzzing? I was all, holy crapsicles, that's me! I passed out on my actual phone ... and overslept by a half hour. Apparently at 8 when the alarm did go off, it was a rooster - and I couldn't figure out how to turn it off because I was literally dead asleep still ... so Fern kept saying, but how can YOU of all people not figure this out. OMG to have been a fly on that wall ... hahahaahaha!!!

 

I DASHED out the door, and started running down the hall to get to the elevator to start to head over to the Wynn. I guess I dashed so far that I wound up missing the sign for the elevator - so I went through this double door, and was then locked into a stairwell. Yep, you needed a room key to get back in, which was something that I did not have. There I was on the 24th floor, cookie monster tee, flip flops and all. I proceeded to dart down the stairs ... all 24 flights of them. I got to the final level, and apparently opened another wrong door, and wound up in this little enclave by the pool. It was just this little nook that was covered by this tree, that I'm sure man kind has never even been exposed to. I emerged from the nook and the pool lady was like where did you come from? Are you ok? I literally could not stop laughing, and just asked how to get to Las Vegas Blvd. She showed me the way, and away I went ...

 

I met up with my carpool buddy, and literally cannot remember a time I have had more fun in Vegas. I had no solid plans for anything, just 36 hours, gas money, and a desire to want to get my nerd on. Yeah ... epic. =)
