It's hard to believe that the last time I was in Vegas was at CES in January of this year. (To see a photo of me at the show with a Dr. Evil impersonator, see the very first post on the blog.) It was time to go back again and as usual Vegas did not disappoint.
Tracy, Mary Beth and I attended the Maroon 5 concert at the new Pearl theater at the Palm. We loved the theater, and also the place where we had dinner, Nuovo Italiano on the 55th floor. But other than that, the Palm is not really our kind of place. To add insult to injury, we were super bummed to learn from People magazine that there were all sorts of celebrities at the Palm that weekend. Somehow we missed them.
Staying at the MGM Signature is always a good call, in contrast. The place is like a high end apartment building you can call your own while in Vegas. Here was what my room looked like, wicked:
The next night, we branched out and went to the Mirage for dinner at Japonais and drinks at Stack. We have absolutely no idea who these guys in the photo are...
Monday, I had a day dedicated entirely to me. OK, this entire year is probably dedicated entirely to me but especially that day was. I went all over Vegas and shopped til I dropped. I also visited a few of my favorite places, including the Bellagio Hotel, which has beautiful art.
There is one more issue which needs to be addressed on the blog, which is the absence of Andrew Bowins at the golf game which took place at Star Ranch on November 1, 2007. Several sources who wish to stay anonymous predicted he would wimp out, and they were right. Here's what a few folks had to say about Andrew...
“Yeah, Andrew was invited but did his usual—accept and then was a no-show. I’m actually glad he didn’t play because we’d still be out on the course waiting for him to finish.”
---V. Figueroa
"I used to think this was typical Canadian behavior but now I realize that he is unlike his countrymen..."
---T. Masson
"The word 'duck' comes to mind when AB approaches the tee-box."

Great blog …. Loved it! Please sleep with one eye open…. Smiles.
Gretchen, a couple of thoughts for those who aptly captured my essence in their notes below:
1. Fig is wearing a skin tight sweater tucked into his pressed Wranglers today. Based on that, I may never show up at an event he is attending.
2. Kaufman is wearing the first new shirt today he has had in 20 years. I know it was a gift cause he wouldn’t spend the money. Funny thing, the new shirt looks like his old shirt, I guess the fashion cycle has come full circle again.
3. Tracy…. What can I say …. “how about put the bottle down …. Eh?
It’s all full of love folks… don’t go changing.
Best.
Andrew Bowins
