I'm going to Vegas - probably

I got a call from my dad. He and Yve are finalizing arrangements for their wedding this July, and were wondering if I could take off of work long enough to spend a week in Vegas for the wedding. It makes sense for them to have it there; it's like their home-away-from-home and his proposal to her last year was on a Vegas-bound flight (he said the flight crew was really nice and helped plan it out with inflight announcements and champagne, if anyone's thinking of proposing in the air). They booked the wedding chapel and banquet room for July 7, 2007 . What a cute idea . . . getting married in Vegas on 7-7-7.

Of course I'm going to the wedding. Work schedules are irrelevant. How could I miss my own father's wedding? Having said that though, I'm kind of worried about my schedule at the high school. The wedding just happens to be during final exams. For now my diabolical scheme is to give exams a week early during class time and leave the grades for another teacher to hand in for me. Mwah-ha-ha. No point in asking the school for permission only to have my request denied . . . I'm just gonna do it.

I like Vegas because even if you don't like gambling it's fun to just walk around and check out the buildings. Hopefully I can get tickets to Cirque de Soleil or see some magic shows. They always look so cool on TV. Oh, and dance clubs! It's been forever since I've been to a REAL club. I'll have to pack that shiny black shirt I got from Speck. Can't wait!

Wow, I'd forgotten about that shirt! Yes, it would definitely work in Vegas. Hmm...I'm going to have to check ticket prices..maybe I can come out for the weekend too and see you in Vegas!

Oh..been meaning to ask you..when you mentioned Buffy S2 was $150 did you mean the DVDs? Cause Japan is a different 'region' than the US. We can use the same VHS tapes but not the same DVDs. Buffy Season DVD sets are like $40 out here.

Do you have a computer? Does your DVD player play avi files? let me know

Hey Ran!
Finally had some down time to check out your blog. Make sure you try the Wynn buffet, which I hear is better than even the Bellagio buffet, which I thought was awesome. Everyone raves about the Cirque de Soleil show O at the Bellagio.

Thanks Ali! I definitely wanna check out some Cirque de Soleil shows while I'm out there. Tickets are pretty pricy though :(
