*waves* Hello from #CES
Captains blog day holy shit I am still in Vegas. Currently chillaxin in the press room at CES. Dude, way better than the bloggers lounge, but you have to sneak in. Pretend like you're going into the restroom by the bloggers lounge, walk out that back door, and 3 doors down on the left is like the most amazing place ever. For reals ... there's no crowding, so legit its gotta quit.
I am so on people overload its not even funny. I just keep getting approached, and trust me ... its utterly amazing ... but I'm still hustling. I have a place to stay, but I'm crashing with a friend so I haven't had any me time in a few days. That drives me nuts. For as extroverted as I am, I definitely need my creative, I'm lost in my own head time.
Dude, I had so much fun last night, it should have been illegal.
Went to the TweetHouse party, and totally met Andy Dick!
I'm a HUGGEEEEEE Reality Bites fan. Like for izzles my nizzles its totes mcgotes my favoritest movie ever. Andy had a cameo in it, so I went up to tell him how much I loved the film, and to thank him. He told me that originally they wanted him to play the gay friend role which went to Steve Zahn ... and omg omg omg thank god it did. For reals, I love Andy ... but the chemistry from that cast was outta control. The dynamic would have just been off.
Then he grabbed my ass ...
Yep ... that just happened.
Then I hopped in a friend's car, and headed over to Tao. SOOOOOOOOOO much fun!!! I got to wear my @spirithood and shake it like a polaroid picture, and met a 7'2 bouncer. That is TALL!!!
... As a frame of reference, I am 5'7 ...
I had so much fun meeting so many new nerdy peeps ... *waves* hi new friend!!
Then I left Tao and went to play poker with an Italian gangster ... literally.
Super crazy story actually ... this person knows a person I'm friends with ... and they had called ahead saying, if this chick needs anything please take care of her - she's part of the family.
So, I went to his place of business ... and asked if he was there. The guy behind the counter was like yes, but he's playing cards. You can't disturb him while he's playing cards. I read the guy, and got that he was totally messing with me ... so I said, oh sure - totally understand ... just want to say hello, and walked through the door.
I said hi are you xxxxxx. He gave me this look of, who the fuck are you, and what the fuck is that hood on your head. I immediately followed up with, I think xxxxx called you and told you I was coming, I'm Jen.
Then he said oh yes and an employee came up and put down a chair for me.
He then did some sort of combination of a clap and a snap, and magically there was a drink in my hand.
OMG, I thought ... I'm totally in.
I sat and watched the guys play poker - they were professionals; it was 7 different types of poker. I basically just smiled and nodded, but in a really organic, genuine way. I just honestly wanted to see what life was like for them. I asked the dude a bunch of questions about living in Vegas, and having the properties that he does, and what all of it was like. He humored my curiosity and was incredibly kind.
Then I got a text from @benparr, so I had to go. I thanked him for the experience, and the alcohol. He turned and said, how old are you?
26, I replied.
Good ... pretty girl.
I smiled saying thank you. He then asked for my number and told me if I ever needed anything to let him know. I said that that was incredibly kind of him, and I will surely take him up on it.
I walked out the door and literally did a two step skip that OMG OMG OMG!! That was AWESOME!! Dude, so rad. I only understood every 10th word out of their mouth, as Italian is so close to Spanish and French ... but WOW WOW WOW! I'm in!!!
Then I went on over across the street to kick it with Ben and the mashable hotties.
They liked my Spirithood ...
And then Ben and I got married.
See ... I announced the engagement on Twitter ...
Of course I had to wear my spirithood ...
Just kidding. I'm still single.
Hey, a girl can dream can't she??? *sigh*
Either way, totally having an awesome. awesome. AWESOME. time at CES!! It's just great to talk to so many of these people all day, everyday on twitter and then get to hang out iRL.
I'm loving you life!! RAWWRRRR I just wanna gobble gobble gobble you up!!!
Yes, apparently happiness in my world equates to me being a turkey.
That just makes so much sense! HAHAHAHA!!! =)
All my love and all my heart, nerds! If you're at CES come find me ... as far as I know I am the only chick in a leopard spirithood!! WHOOP WHOOP!!
