I'm in Vegas or something

So I'm in Vegas, sitting in a room with a bunch of people I generally only see as little pixelated pirates in a game screen. I'm at a table with [profile] digriz, [profile] cobrani, Burr and LeClerc, over on the sofa is [profile] ohsochewy, [profile] piratelemur, and [profile] ciaweth, Wildrose and [profile] damienroc are on the floor by it, and [profile] melanied and Falkenberg are on the other couch, and many conversations are going on. [profile] captain_squid is ferrying [profile] fish_tie and [profile] jacquilynne to the other house we're renting here, and [profile] tangerinpenguin and Zylphryx were both here but are now at their hotels down on the Strip.

In short... yeah. We're in Vegas.

It started when I overslept horribly today but I still got to work for a few hours. On my way out it got really dark and cold, and it was snowing when I was at the bus stop. Then I took the bus to the airport and I showed up about 2 minutes after Chris. So we got our tickets and got through security and got through the airport, got food at Ivar's, got on a plane... etc. I watched the first episode of "I'll Be Back" on the plane, which was funny because I don't have subtitles for it and it's always hard to hear when you're on a plane. But, I liked it. I read more of "One Pitch Away" until the end of the flight after that.

The airport was sort of a nightmare. We got off the plane and there were lots of slot machines around, and we found our way to baggage claim through a bazillion people, and Chris got his bag. Then we found out that Jacquilynne's flight was late. We went to wait by the car rental place, and I got cabin fever and so I walked around a bit until I found Fish, Squid, Lemur, and then Liani and Madam, and Wildrose and Burr, and we had a big party in the airport... then I went back to the car rental place and Jacquilynne had showed up... but the other people were all gone from the baggage claim when I went back there. So eventually eventually Chris managed to get a car, and we managed to get here.

But it was like, 12:45am when we showed up here. Seriously. I think we got off the plane at 10:15 or so. I'm really sweaty from carrying all my junk through the airport and all.

On the other hand, there are people here. People are cool.

Hopefully I'll get to sleep at a decent hour and wake up at a decent hour and wake up at a decent hour and...
