Vegas: What a Drag!

Hemet, CA
Hello Friends,

WARNING- There be pictures and tales of libations and drag queens ahead. If thou fearest these PG items turn away now!

Our whirlwind week in Vegas has come and gone. Our days were spent with a rare during school hours residency so we were done by 3PM everyday - a time when most teams are just getting started. Shawna had both her boyfriend and mom visit while we were there, though not at the same time (smart girl). This meant she stayed on the strip while I was near the school in norther Las Vegas. But hey, everything is close in Vegas, so it was easy to get around right? WRONG!

Before I get any further, I must confess; I didn't really care for Vegas. It had nothing to do with my company or nice home stay or even the residency week (which went wonderful) its just that anything and everything in Vegas in my opinion has two things - a huge price and a line to wait it. And if Loehrke Men hate two things, its waiting in line (unless it is for a roller coaster) and expensive stuff.

At any rate. I did have fun with friend in Sin City (though there wasn't much sin). Another tour team was in Vegas while we were there and it was none other then that fabulous summer lady, my old partner Mandi Jung and her TP Brandon Price. They took me to what might have been one of the most amazing experiences ever: Bingo, hosted by Drag Queens.

It was hysterical! They are wonderful people who are full of sass and will let you know it. Of course who wins there first round of drag bingo ever, that's right, me. My prize - a WALL CLOCK! How awesome is that!!! After every three rounds they would do what I can only describe as club line dancing. It's like line dancing you would see in a country western bar but done to thumbing dance music. It was spectacular.

I was not the only winner, Brandon won a set of decorative mugs and Mandi got the joys of being a good DD and enjoying some late night In and Out (that was one amazing burger). All in all, it was an amazing time.

Tune in soon for the conclusion of Vegas involving friends from near and far, ice bars, and outdoor karaoke!
