BEVR: Wendy in LAS VEGAS ... The Day After ... 03/28/04
The Show was Over ...
People were leaving, some had already left and Nelle, Lila, Kat, Melissa, Gates (Melissa's friend) and myself ... found ourselves at the "All you can eat" Breakfast Buffet at the Ho ... Bellagio ... this was not ... but let me guarantee you ... we got our money's worth! The sheer volume of cereal consumed by this group would feed a small third world nation.
We proceeded to spend the next 3 hours guffawing loudly, reminiscing, acting like old friends ... because we are. Maybe it was the first time we were sharing air with Nelle ... but make no mistake ... we became friends long ago. Lila, Melissa, Kat and I had met in Atlanta for the Frosty Show ...but this was the first time we had all been together with Nelle. Not to be sappy or anything, but that is still one of the wonders of this whole phenomenon. Nelle on one coast and the rest of us on the other ... meeting at the HO in Sin City to gush over a newly formed constellation. (There's a movie in there somewhere. )
But before we knew it ... it was time to tell Nelle goodbye and honestly ... I was so sad, I couldn't walk her to the front of the parking lot.
Saying goodbye to Kat is something that Melissa and I HATE TO DO. But all good things must come to an end. After two nights at the HO with one of my favorite ho's ... we said goodbye and she was gone.
Cheap Knockoff
Then it was just us. Melissa, Gates, Lila and myself. Lila had made plans to attend the Elton John Concert that evening and the rest of us were sort of wandering aimlessly. We found ourselves in the Casino and spotted another group of Broads heading toward the ELVIS TRIBUTE ...
Huh? The what? AN ELVIS TRIBUTE? We decided to come back at 5:00 to enjoy the full effect of one Michael Kennedy.
And let me assure you ... It was MAGIC ... as soon as he took the stage he had our attention. He sang several songs and when it came time to sing "I Can't Help Falling in Love with you," he came out into the audience and put the microphone in Lila's face ... She sang beautifully. But as cute as it was to see Lila singing with Elvis ... it couldn't compare to this ...
While it was wildly entertaining to see the interaction between the two ...
... it did NOT have the same effect as this ...
:: Collective sigh resonating through the land ::
Suddenly, while in the middle of "Return to Sender" he spotted a woman in the crowd holding a cellphone. He hollered ... "Who are you talking to on that phone?" Melissa and I shrieked ... not believing what we were hearing!
Then Elvis proceeded to come off the stage into the audience, remove the cellphone from the woman's hand and SING INTO IT ... telling the person on the other end that she was talking to "ELVIS" ...
This sealed it ... he HAD SURELY WITNESSED CLAY AIKEN THE NIGHT BEFORE ...
Oh Clay honey, you know you've arrived when ELVIS is stealing from you!!!!
After the show was over ... we made our way to the front of the room. We purchased a CD and at Melissa's suggestion had him autograph this puppy ... to the LBFCA.
Warning: A** Area Ahead
Later that evening we decided on an Indian Restaurant for dinner and having lost Lila to Sir Elton we proceeded to make our way down the strip. Interesting things happening all around us on the streets of Las Vegas ... including the poet waiting for the bus who decided to recite a lovely poem about my ... er, body parts ... as entertaining he was, he didn't come close to the designated A**Area on the back of a flatbed parked in an empty field on the side of the road.
Gates proceeded to climb onto the truck and pose for pictures. Four young men approached. One of them asked - "Girlfriend, what are you doin' on that truck?"
Gates replied. " It says A** AREA!" Pointing to the spot on the back of the truck which indeed read "A** AREA" ...
Then I bore witness to the loudest, most high pitched squeal I have ever heard escape the lips of a man and in one giant leap his A** was on the back of the truck with Gates - rear facing the camera - begging to be photographed. Kinda like this one ...
Then came the capper ... he bent over .... wrapped his arms around his
legs and stuck his head through ...
Gates was finished photographing the event and as soon as she climbed down from the truck the other three were on top fighting for who would be photographed next ...
I couldn't help but think of dear sweet Katynka ... flying home ... missing the a**es lined in a row ... and then it struck me ... she has her OWN a** pics to look at!!!!
The End ... (snort!)
