Michele's Birthday in Vegas

This weekend was Michele's Birthday!

We spent it in Vegas with a few good friends. Vegas is great! Well it is at first anyway. Days in Vegas are like crispy creme donuts, the first is great, the second is really good, the third makes you sick.

What I like about Vegas is you can see a 21 year old having the time of their lives next to a 92 years old having the time of their life. It changes with you no matter your age,or interest, and it doesn't ask much of you. Anyway here are some pictures of our Vegas fun!

We spend most of our day drinking by the pool.



Here's Michele at the wax museum with Sean Connery.



Here's me ( left ) with Larry King ( right ).



And here's both of us with Don Rickles *


* ( Funny side story, it was later determined that this was actually the real Don Rickles.)

The rest of the evening is spend in the bars and casinos, followed up by 4 hours of free cable in the hotel, and it's back in bed by 7:30PM.

Looking forward to going back.

Happy Birthday Michele!

A Picture is Worth a Thousand Swear Words

One Christmas when I was about 6 years old my Aunt and Uncle who lived in Pennsylvania sent my a nice new button up shirt for Christmas and gave my brother a brand new football. Because they lived so far away and wouldn't be around to see us open our gifts my mom thought it would be a nice gesture to use her new fancy Polaroid camera to take pictures of us with the gifts. My mom had me put on my crisp button up shirt and stand politely in front of the camera. As she staged the photo my brother would every now and then toss the football in front of me. My mom told him to cut it out, Polaroid film was very expensive and she didn't want that damn football in the shot. He stopped screwing around for a moment and slunk out of frame. My mom raised the camera, waited the unnecessarily long amount of time all mothers wait before taking a photo and then flash! She snapped the picture one second after my Brother lunched the football back into the air.

Realizing what he had done, she said, "You better hope that football isn't in this picture, or I'm gonna be so mad!" We waited nervously as the image slowly developed, and I'm happy to say my brother just emailed me a copy of the photo that appeared that night...








My mom laughed her ass off when this photo developed and I would argue that my brother actually helped save money on Polaroid film as this photo included both of the gifts.

Wonder Con

Michele and I went to Wonder Con today. Wonder Con is a huge Comic Book convention held in San Francisco each year and was the stand in for the fictional "Ultra Con" feature at the end of our film Tracy. We have a soft spot in our hearts for these conventions and all the great fans that attend. As Michele said about Comic Con when we went there three years ago for our comic Unmentionables, "Where else can you go to a highly populated place where 70 percent of the people there have weapons and absolutely no form of violence is going to break out".
