Aaron and I just got back in from a great trip to Las Vegas to see Matchbox Twenty! The show and the trip were both incredible!! We stayed at the Hard Rock Hotel which is a totally fun place and we really didn't even need to leave the property. Figured we could blow just as much money there as on the strip, so why bother?!
Since the last time we had flown on a plane was 2 days before 9/11/01, we weren't used to all the hoops you have to jump through to get on a plane nowadays. It seems Mr. Aaron Lee also has the same name as a person on the "Do Not Fly List"!! We had to wait even a little longer than usual but fortunately he was cleared to fly. I was starting to wonder...hmm...do I really know who Aaron is? LOL!!
While in Vegas, we got hooked on video blackjack but managed to keep our heads while playing so ended up winning back what we lost on the slots and came out even. Would have preferred to come back richer but still works for me! I figured out a system now, so I'm all ready to go back for some more gambling. I don't think Aaron's going to let me for awhile though. I just know my plan will work!
As for the Matchbox show, it was beyond incredible. We got early entry so we were maybe 10 feet from the stage. Had I known that some of those fans were going to run like rabid maniacs the second the door opened we probably could have gotten front row but I was too stunned watching them! Our spot was perfectly fine though and we had plenty of room to move and groove. They played a little over 2 hours and gave an incredible performance.
The next day we were able to sleep in a bit and opted to take our time and head to the airport early for our 1:05pm flight back to Sacramento. Little did we know that pretty much all flights were delayed due to bad weather in the East. We ended up having to "hang-out" in the airport for about 6 hours with a huge crowd of disgruntled travelers. We did make some new friends though, Kyle Cook, the lead guitarist for Matchbox 20 and his wife were heading home the same time! After a long, long leisurely lunch, a nap, a couple of magazines and a newspaper, we were on our way home. Awesome trip and we look forward to the next one. So when do you think a child is old enough to attend a rock show?

I also managed to take some video with my digital camera and put together a little clip show of about 5 songs if you'd like to check it out here.... (copy and paste the link) http://homepage.mac.com/lisaski/iMovieTheater2.html
