I Want More

What a weekend! I don't know if I have ever had that much fun. I lost a bit of money, hung out with twenty-someodd of the coolest guys and their wives/friends/brothers/girlfriends from around the country and Toronto, had very little sleep, walked a red carpet, watched a movie in the same theater as quite a few celebs, attended the afterparty, drank a bit, and even broke Larry's Rule Number 1: Larry doesn't dance(but I will get to that in a bit).

Let me start off by saying thank you Robert for the pickup line. I had every intention of using the, "Hey ladies, which one of you wants to go halves with me, making a bastard?". However, I went second and did not want to be the first vulgar guy to those 3 beautiful women. They all laughed and liked it, so, even though I didn't advance{ :( }, I still consider it a success(I made three beautiful actresses laugh and call me sweet. SUCCESS). Mossy, Penny, let me tell you that Toronto was represented well by a music artist going by the name Subliminal a.k.a. Strawberry Luv. I never stopped laughing when Strawberry was around. Your gigolo won.

After the contest, we all went our separate ways for a few hours. I went back to the tables to try to recoup some of the extensive damage done to my bank account the evening before(don't gamble when you have had zero sleep and nothing to eat all day). I managed to make a couple hundred dollars back before the premiere(not nearly what I lost). We all met up and boarded our buses for the premiere.

Let me tell you all, I now know what it feels like to be watched. While we were making our entrance on the red(okay, leopard print) carpet, there were crowds of people watching us, trying to figure out who we were. The guys from L.A. and Seattle both took spills on the carpet. Watch E! and Mtv throughout the week and you might catch glimpses of the contest and the red carpet.

The movie was extremely funny. If you liked the first Duece Bigelow, you will like the second one. European Gigolo was much raunchier, and I laughed more. But, it was predictable and very similar to the original. I would recommend it to any Duece fans out there and those of you with filthy minds(you know who you are).

After the movie, we all proceeded to a party in another part of the Palms. I got to meet several people including Eddie Griffin, Michael Irvin, and Joe Jackson(Michael's dad). O.J. Simpson was in attendance, but I managed to avoid him. I now know how the other half lives and I love it. There were midgets running around in diapers and bonnets, mostly naked, wet dancers in a glass enclosure behind the bar(I regret to inform you all that all of the good pics are on my friends camera and phone and thus I have to wait for him to email them to me before I can post them), servers with dicks for noses(see the movie folks), more dancers in leopard print bikinis on raised platforms around the room, and more beautiful women than I have ever seen in one place in my entire life. I got rather drunk and danced most of the night. At one point I even danced with Hanna Verboom, who plays the lead female role in the film. How's that for breakin my rules? To end the night I stayed out at a bar at the Paris conversing with a couple of local ladies who had also attended the premiere.

After a couple hours sleep, I managed to go back to the tables and win a bit more of my money back before we had to check out. Still not enough to keep me from being well in the red for the trip. However, even if I hadn't won any of it back I would still feel like I stole something for the money I spent/lost on the trip.
