I grabbed more man ass then I normally do.

Yeah, we gotta talk about that Ron. My butt cheeks are still swollen. Though I have to admit I enjoyed it a little.
Btw, I see JMM reading this thread. Didn't know you were still alive, Jeff. :P
A long time friend who's been wanting to see the show since forever finally came to Vegas and I got to show him around. Everyone told him the same thing, that he should have seen it about five or six years ago. Got me thinking.
No cars, trucks, hummers, vipers, Austin Martins anywhere on the floor. No music blasting anywhere. No laser lights. No blimps. No search light things beaming logos on the ceiling. No bikini-clad nor nekkid womens ... being oiled up, jumping on trampolines, inside moon walk tents, riding bronco machines, wrestling or boxing in rings. No money grabs (where one stands in a cylinder grabbing money as it floats around.)
In many ways, very business like without the old carnie atmosphere. But in some ways, even I have to admit, while refreshing overall, a tad dull. The old feeling of something electric happening wasn't there. Guess it's the good and bad side of maturation and thinned herds. If it wasn't for the traditional flying tits at the end of the show, I might have wondered if I'd inadvertantly went to a convention for librarians.
That said, I'll still take it over the boat-peeing, window-breaking, punches-in-the-lobby, furniture-flying Florida shows. Just wondering if there isn't some way to combine business and excitement of the old days again. Right now it seems conventions either resemble a museum tour or Animal House, and that that electric something-in-between has been lost.
