Day 2,102: Lieutenant Warp

It’s almost 3am, so I have to keep this one short, but Josh and I had a wonderful day at our third full day of the convention AND…we just watched the DS9 documentary What We Left Behind, which was doooope. Loved it so much.

Great panels today. Great podcasting. It was a great time.

More tomorrow!

G’night.

2,101: Vegas day 3

It’s late again. Had a wonderful night hanging out with Josh and Kerry and Jessy, and Jen Cutty joined us as well.

Guys…we were literally sat right in the dead center of a indie film festival awards dinner.

The podium was right next to our table. You’re damn right if you think we stayed as long as we possibly could, and whooped and hollered the loudest of any table there.

It was amaze. Very sweet. Very sincere.

Then we came back and walked around for a while, hung at the bar, and then finally...

Day 2,100: The Joke Janitor

Came up with a very funny character tonight with Josh. He’s a joke janitor for alliteration, but really more of a joke undertaker.

He comes out when you’ve killed a joke, he cleans it up for you—think like it’s a pile of ash, and he sweeps it up–and he’s always very snarky about it.

We had fun tonight hanging out at the bars downstairs. I always thought it was the iBar, but it was actually the Masquerade bar where we spent the night.

Drinking. Not too much.

Smoking. Again, pretty light.

But e...

Day 2,099: Guinan is a Boss

Okay, so it’s really, really late and we’re recording video and audio of the time we’re here so feel a little less guilty about writing a short post…

We’re in Vegas. Josh and I. We checked in, bought t-shirts, got food, were social, had a fucking great road trip…

And now we’re in bed. Exhausted. Happy. Excited.

Night!

Day 2,098: Quicks

Quick one tonight. Late. Tired. Happy.

I did podcast editing, paid bills, snuggled the pups, walked Coops, and podcasted with Josh.

Tomorrow…we dine in Vegas after a road trip.

Can’t wait.

Night

Day 2,097: Dog Tired

Holy balls I am exhausted.

The sun will do that to you, amiright??? Seriously. Sun and heat wipe you the fuck out. Especially when you’re drinking…which wasn’t…and swimming, and grilling, and piloting boats, and hanging out with your bros and ladies…

It was a lot of amazing this weekend. Easily one of the best trips Liz and I have ever taken to spend with family.

The water was amazing. The views were amazing. Houseboating is amazing, even with the POS houseboats we were one. Or, to be fair, o...

Day 2,096: Floating and Poker

Another amazing day on the lake with my brother and his fiancé.

It was HOT. AS. BALLLLSSSS.

But…with enough sunscreen and the water literally at my feet, it was actually bliss. The water was warm at the top, and cool if I let my feet dangle down from my floatie. I would dip down into the water and get my head wet whenever I was feeling too warm again, and I applied sunscreen four times throughout the day.

It worked. I stayed cool and I think I may have avoided a sunburn. I hope so.

All the wh...

Day 2,095: Houseboat

I’m on a lake right now, typing this on my phone.

Liz and I are out at Scott and Addie’s bachelor/bachelorette party. They chartered two houseboats on Lake Shasta and it. Is. Gorgeous out here. Good lawd.

Anyway, I’m next to a grown man right now in bed. His name is Danny. And he’s about to pass out. The light of my phone is rude, so we’ll end it here. Good night y’all. This will actually post when I have more reception.

Things to remember:

Lying on the roof, smoking, and looking up at the st...
