Oh hello, MGM Grand.
I know you've seen your fair share of action but I figured I'd let you know that you're not even ready for The Awesome Storm heading your way. In a mere 134 days, I will be dragging my Canadian ass onto a plane and flying across the continent AGAIN. But this time? This time I'm coming for you, Vegas.
(But seriously...can people start just coming here? I can't keep this shit up. Jetlag is never kind to me.)
But MGM, you have no idea what's about to happen. Not only will Tia and I be reunited as roomies for four nights, making good on our loosely concocted and poorly thought out plan of seeing each other once a year, but I will be in town to meet people that I've been reading and loving from afar for over two years. Time flies when I'm being all nosy into your lives, bloggers.
Oh - and I'm betting I'll have at least one drunken conversation with your lions.
I don't gamble much and I don't love festering in old people's excess nicotine, but I do love me a buffet and anywhere that lets me walk around drinking alcohol while shoving hooker cards in my pockets. I intend to call one just to come over and have tea although I've been warned that will be expensive. Not to mention I'll have to throw away the teacup after. And the chair she sits on.
MGM Grand? You should also know that Cher is going to be in town at the same time. This might be too much for me to handle...I might...MIGHT end up having a physical breakdown from doing too many fake hair tosses and proving that I still know all the words to Turn Back Time.
(I do.)
(Speaking of, I should be kept away from all wedding chapels and should under no circumstances be allowed near any altar with anyone I describe during that weekend as the "love of my life. No seriously. I love this bitch.")
But that's what it's all about, MGM. Going to Vegas for nothing but fun, laughs and drinks with friends I've been dying to meet. With Cher. And lions. Because you know....why not? They can't hurt right? Well...actually I'm sure the lions could. And Cher too, for that matter.
But they can both bring it on, baby, 'cause I'm booked and ready to go.
Bloggers in Sin City? You've got me excited in too many inappropriate ways.
Brace yourself, MGM. Brace yourself...

I cannot put into words how jealous I am of anyone who is going to this - especially cos they get to meet you! *pouts*
I'm going to start shopping for my cher outfit ASAP.
I see feathers in our future.
Omfg this just made me ridiculously excited.
I definitely want to go... and now would be the time for me to start booking my flight and finding a roommate.... Because I lucked out last time and the 20sb meet up was in my city (Chicago)... ...but I already have to figure out how I'm getting to LA, New York, and Miami this year.
Maybe some miracle will happen with my finances and I can go...
I'm so excited about this it's a little ridiculous.
Cher AND lions! So i take the MGM people got my letters? Very exciting times indeed! Enjoy the fun!
Dear Ben,
Unless you know something I don't know (entirely possible) you had better not book that bitch because half the fun is staying in the same hotel as everyone else!
Just saying! =)
Ah Kyla Brings up an excellent point. From what I understand, there will be group rates announced this month. That being said, I've already booked my room since Tia found a promotion code that got us a price we simply couldn't refuse. You know...after $600 flights, I'm trying to get by on any deals I can find.
But - no matter where the rest of you are staying, don't think for a second I won't be there for all the fun. We booked on the tram or underground or whatever it is that takes walking out of the equation...
Have fun. Be sinful.
I'll live vicariously through you.
Maxie and I have already discussed who gets to lick your face first.
Maybe we'll just split up the cheeks. Dibs on the left.
vegas, baby. VEGAS.
wow it sounds so much fun :) hope you can enjoy and kick its ass!!
best.
Take me with you?!
I am guessing Vegas is going to have to shut down and take a vacation after all you bloggers leave.
To say that this experience is going to be epic does not do it justice.
I just. It's just. dlfkjgflkgjldf
Oh TROUBLE!! I'm smelling it from thousands miles away - so dangerous!!
Happy Happy New Year!!!!
xo

We are going to burn Vegas DOWN!
I am equally as jealous as P.
I look forward to hearing about your exploits, and hope you outdo The Hangover. I have faith.
Oh SOOOOO jealous. :( I love Vegas. 4 days is a lot for Vegas though. You've got to pace yourself. I know it always kills me the 1st night and then I'm roadkill the 2nd night and feel like I'm 80 years old. Have fun! Wish I could go too!
Cher & lions? Jealous.....
I am so fucking jealous of everyone that is going.
That is all.
so excited you and tia are both going. all sorts of awesomeness right there.
Weeeee!!! (I'm so articulate right now.)
I can't wait to meet you.
This will sound silly since I don't always comment here (but i will be better, I promise!) but you are like the male blogger version of Kyla to me meaning you're like a celebrity and so incredibly awesome. And I'm rather intimidated to meet you.
I also think that the MGM lions will talk back if you are drunk and converse with them =)
I'm totally crashing this shit dressed as Jesus. Just a warning.
P: Boo. You should come even though I know full well how expensive it would be for you.
Maxie: I'll bring the sequins.
Amy: You're going?!
Rini: Keep an eye out, I'd say. I got lucky with flights so I'm hoping other people will too!
Erin: Me too. Just ask the newf who's so sick of hearing about it.
Rob: Thank you!
BB: Oh I will. Soooo sinful. Or as sinful as Cher and Long Island Iced Teas are.
Tia: We'll always have Vegas.
Seyma: I expect nothing less!
Angryredhead: Come. For real.
LBluca: I expect so too. Poor Vegas.
Phil: I'm going to be a wreck the week leading up to it.
Nicole: I know. I know.
Barefoot: Haha you too!
Jen: I hate all the people whose flights are like $150-300. Not fair, I say.
Daisee: Oh no - this is open to ALL bloggers!
Matt: Helllllls yes.
Andy: That would be terrifying. My movie would involve a lot more crying and fetal.
Doniree: Wait for it.
Kellie: That's what people keep telling me but I expect I'll manage. Sort of.
T: Everything I ever wanted!
Hillary: Just go. Please?
Katelin: Ridic. Truly.
Andrea: Will we see you there?
Ashalah: I ACCEPT ALL RUNNING HUGS.
Nora: Oh please. Don't be at all intimidated or worry about having to comment. I'm goofy and weird. You'll see. Plus I don't have The Haircut. Mine's pretty regular.
Jill: YES YES YES.
Gah. I seriously, seriously hope I can make it to the meetup this year because it is going to be so freaking epic. And I'll get to meet MORE people whose lives I've followed for the past two-ish years. (Weird, but totally cool.)
I cannot wait.
You have to. HAVE to.
